Description:

STATUS: STABLE

Don’t use Surface Snapping when placing this composition!

Simple composition with two EXAMPLE ships, the USS Liberty and USS Freedom.

What does it do?
Turrets will fire randomly around themselves on a random 5 minute (10 minutes for VLS) cooldown. This composition serves as an example but can be used in many different scenarios like for creating ambient artillery, just run the `PHEN_AmbientAAfire` function on the artillery vehicle (Crewed).

Notes
– You can move the randomly selected VLS missile targets as you wish.
– Copy paste the init code/function to fulfill your mission needs.
Also works with artillery now!
– Turrets have infinite ammo

init code/function (for all except VLS):

this spawn {sleep 1; [_this] call PHEN_AmbientAAfire;};

VLS script:

this spawn { _this addEventHandler ["fired", { (_this select 0) setvehicleAmmo 1; }]; if !(isServer) exitWith {}; while {alive _this} do { _target = selectRandom [VLS_T1,VLS_T2,VLS_T3]; west reportRemoteTarget [_target, 60]; _target confirmSensorTarget [west, true]; _this fireAtTarget [_target, "weapon_vls_01"]; uiSleep (round (random 600)); }; };
