Wenzas Automatic Mortar System

Description
Adds 3x autonomous variants of the NATO 82mm Mortar, which can be accessed and operated remotely from the UAV terminal.
Assembles and disassembles from one backpack instead of two. Backpacks avaliable in the arsenal / can be added to inventories.
Automortars can be found under the "Turrets" section in the editor / zeus.
Each variant has 64 rounds total.

Due to limitations with AI being unable to switch artillery ammunition, i.e. use smoke or illumination rounds without default switching back to HE, I created dedicated smoke and dedicated illum versions which can only load the specific rounds.

Connect via the UAV interface, exit the interface and scroll wheel to select the "Control UAV Turret" option, then enter the Artillery Computer.

Very lovely drone.
One-backpack deployable makes all the difference.

Also works quite nicely with Drongo´s Artillery mod, letting you call in strikes via that mod´s UI from the drone mortars.

Would be awesome to have a Napalm Version of this.

Thanks heaps! I don't have any lessons planned or anything, nor do I think I would be the best person to teach - I have little to no idea what I'm doing most of the time.
If you want to get into modding there's a bit of a learning curve but the basic config setups are fairly easy to grasp.

You'll need a few tools, (Search for "Mikeros tools for Arma 3"), mainly the extractPbo program so you can unpack .pbo files ond get to the config.cpp files etc.
Best advice I could give, is to just start. Get those tools, pull mods apart, break things, then google how to fix them.
And always keep a backup copy.

@Wenza dude your mods are awesome! Fantastic work! This mod in particular I have been using a ton. Currently use it mounted on a back of truck, kind of like a mobile mortar system.

By any chance do you do any free lance lessons on how to build mods by any chance? Would love to know/ learn how to do what you do and how you do it.

@Koger I'll look into it, shouldn't be too hard to manage since I already have the base configs for the mortar...
It will go on the drawing board list. No timeframe as of yet, as I'm working on a few different mods at the moment.

Could you make a raised stationary gun in multiple calibers and a versionFor drone controllers with thermal sensors Mini gun version 20 mm auto canon and whatever else you think would be cool

@1024496371 I haven't touched anything in regards to this, and I'm not sure how to fix it sorry

You can remotely control the mortar, you can try it if you like, the coordinates range of the computer interface of the flare gun is deviated, is it designed like this?
