MrxSmartBomb

Module: mrxsmartbomb.lua

Overview

The MrxSmartBomb module is responsible for handling the functionality of the Smart Bomb support type in the game. It manages the designation process, spawning the bomb, and handling its explosion effects.

Inheritance

• Inherits from: MrxSupport
• Imports: MrxSupportDesignatorBeacon

Instance pattern

This is a per-instance object module (keyed by uGuid). It tracks the following key fields:

• oDesignator: The designator beacon used for targeting.
• uOwner: The GUID of the player who owns this support instance.
• sBomb: The name of the bomb projectile.
• uBomb: The GUID of the bomb projectile.
• uJet: The GUID of the aircraft delivering the bomb.
• uSpawnedBomb: The GUID of the spawned bomb.

Functions

Create(self, uPlayerGuid)

Creates a new per-instance table for the Smart Bomb support using the module’s prototype. Initializes the designator beacon, sets the owner, recruit type, module name, and bomb details.

DesignationCallback(self)

Handles the designation process for the Smart Bomb. Generates a random angle, finds spawn and target points relative to the camera, and initiates an airstrike with the bomb. Plays voice-over announcements for the airstrike.

DropBomb(self)

Spawns the Smart Bomb projectile at the calculated position and direction. Blips the spawned bomb on the radar with a red color.

BombExplodes(self)

Handles the explosion of the Smart Bomb. Prints a debug message, retrieves the target coordinates, and removes the target object if it exists and the player is local.

Events

• Listens for custom event DesignationCallback to handle the designation process.
• Listens for custom event DropBomb to spawn the bomb.
• Listens for custom event BombExplodes to handle the bomb’s explosion effects.

Notes for modders

• Ensure that Create is called appropriately to initialize a new Smart Bomb support instance.
• Customize the bomb details by setting fields like sBomb and uBomb.
• Be aware of the voice-over announcements played during the airstrike process.
