🎯 Setting Up Artillery Support in Command AI

In this article, we will explore how to set up artillery support using Command AI in a scenario. We will go through step-by-step instructions on placing the player, adding props and utilities, connecting assets to the player, and making the rifleman playable. Then, we will dive into commanding AI, firing artillery rounds, using the map to call artillery, and more efficient methods with support modules. Finally, we'll discuss how to access the support modules in-game and provide additional resources for setting up support modules.

1. Introduction

Artillery support plays a crucial role in military simulations and scenarios. Command AI allows you to effectively control AI units and command them to provide artillery support in your missions. By following the instructions outlined in this article, you'll be able to implement artillery support and enhance the realism and gameplay experience of your scenarios.

2. Setting Up the Scenario

Before we can set up artillery support, we need to create a scenario and place the necessary elements.

2.1 Placing the Player

To begin, we'll place a player, which will serve as the central focus of our scenario. We'll position an unarmed rifleman at a designated location. This player will act as the commander, overseeing the AI units and commanding them to provide artillery support.

2.2 Adding Props and Utilities

Next, we'll add props and utilities to enhance the scenario. We'll search for solar-related assets in the props menu and choose a solar tower to place near the player's location. This tower will serve as a reference point for aligning the artillery assets.

2.3 Connecting Assets to the Player

To make the AI units under the player's command, we'll connect them to the player. By selecting the AI assets, holding the left mouse button, and expanding a box around them, we can group them together. Once grouped, we'll connect them to the player to establish the command structure.

2.4 Making the Rifleman Playable

Now, let's make the unarmed rifleman playable. We'll adjust the player's settings to allow control of the rifleman. Additionally, we'll disable the rifleman's damage to avoid unintended consequences during gameplay.

3. Artillery Support

With the scenario set up, we can now focus on implementing artillery support and commanding the AI units to provide effective fire support.

3.1 Commanding the AI

To command the AI, we'll utilize the Command AI feature. By pressing the F4 key, a Cursor will appear on the screen, and we can direct it to the desired target location. Using the action menu, we can instruct the AI units to fire artillery rounds and specify the type and quantity of rounds.

3.2 Firing Artillery Rounds

Artillery can be fired in various ways, such as single rounds or burst fire. By pressing the H key during the fire command, you can choose between different firing options. Observing the AI units in action, you'll witness the powerful shots and the impact they create on the designated targets.

3.3 Different Artillery Options

The Command AI feature also provides different artillery options, such as guided mine cluster shells, white smoke, and laser-guided cluster munitions. These options expand the tactical versatility and allow for precise targeting in different combat situations.

3.4 Using the Map to Call Artillery

Alternatively, you can use the map to call artillery support. By selecting the desired location on the map and choosing the artillery asset, you can specify the type of round and initiate the firing sequence. This method provides a strategic advantage, allowing you to plan your attacks from a bird's-eye view.

4. More Efficient Method with Support Modules

To streamline the process of calling artillery support, we'll introduce support modules. These modules provide a more efficient and organized way of managing artillery assets and delivering support.

4.1 Placing Support Provider Artillery Module

To begin, we'll place a support provider artillery module on the map. This module serves as the source of artillery support, allowing you to concentrate fire from a single point.

4.2 Connecting Assets to the Support Modules

Next, we'll connect the artillery assets to the support modules. By grouping the assets and connecting them to the support provider artillery module and the support requester module, we establish a seamless communication network.

4.3 Configuring the Support Requester Module

Configuring the support requester module allows for customization of the support parameters. By defining the type and limit of support, you can fine-tune the availability of artillery support within your scenario.

5. Accessing the Support Modules in Game

In-game, you can access the support modules to call for artillery support easily. By using the zero key on your keyboard and navigating to the support menu, you can select the artillery strike option. Here, you'll find the artillery assets connected to the support modules.

5.1 Using the Zero Key

By pressing the zero key, an icon will appear on the left side of the screen, replacing the command bar at the bottom. This icon allows access to the support menus and controls for requesting artillery support.

5.2 Choosing Artillery Assets

Within the support menu, you can choose the specific artillery assets you wish to deploy. This selection determines the type of rounds and firepower available for your mission.

5.3 Firing Rounds and Watching the Action

Once you have selected the artillery asset, you can specify the number of rounds to fire. By observing the action, you'll experience the immersive effects of the artillery strikes and witness the destruction they unleash on the battlefield.

6. Additional Resources for Setting Up Support Modules

For more detailed instructions and configuration options for the support modules, we recommend watching the Tutorial video titled "How to Set Up Support Modules" on our Channel. This video provides a comprehensive guide on configuring and utilizing support modules effectively.

We hope this article has provided you with the knowledge and tools to incorporate artillery support into your scenarios using Command AI. By leveraging the capabilities of AI-controlled assets, you can create dynamic and engaging gameplay experiences.

Remember, artillery support can turn the tide of battle, but strategic planning and coordination are essential to maximize its effectiveness. So go ahead, create epic scenarios, and watch the explosive power of artillery support unfold!
