DAP: DYNAMIC ARTILLERY PIECES

[SCRIPT]

Current version: v1.5.5 (JAN 5th, 2025)

DAP is an Arma 3 script that allows the Mission Editor (you) to create real (or virtual) artillery/mortar fire-missions faster and smarter for one or multiple sides, using Eden marker’s positions and an external fire-missions list where you plan the caliber, ammo type, rounds, cycle of repetition and more. DAP doesn't change any original Arma AI behavior, saving server performance, and preserving the Arma integrity and compatibility with any mod.

Why use DAP to manage artillery: ​​unlike other scripts, DAP does not require the editor to specify artillery-pieces for each fire-mission. As soon as a fire-mission is triggered, DAP searches for artillery-pieces available at that time that fit the requested caliber, the requested ammunition-type, and have range to the target. This means that for the same target, DAP can use different pieces on the map; just as the same an artillery-piece can be used for multiple fire-missions with different targets. And DAP is absolutely scalable.

None! Absolutely compatible with Arma DLCs, CDLCs and mods like RHS and CUP.




What you set for each fire mission with DAP:

• Real or virtual fire mission;
  
• The side that owns each fire-mission;
  
• Potential target sectors (Eden markers);
  
• How many artillery-pieces you want in each fire-mission;
  
• What caliber these pieces will be (Light, Medium, Heavy, Super Heavy or Combined);
  
• Ammunition type (HE, Cluster, Smoke, Flare etc);
  
• Control the volume of rounds per piece;
  
• How many repetition cycles does a fire mission have;
  
• Triggers will release the fire-mission (trigger activation, timer, kill/destruction).

• Prevent artillery-pieces from starting match with no magazines (On/Off);
