Bridge Busting

[snakeman]

Hi I want to create a mission where you have to attack a bridge in WOE.

I have Le Missionneur 2006 but I cannot get it to display any bridges as targets.

Anyone got any ideas or hints ?

 

Thanks

Hi Snakeman, I do mine by hand - editing the GermanyCE_targets.ini to add a bridge to a new or exiting target area. Like so...

 

[TargetAreaXXX]

Name=Weser bridge, South of Bremen

Position=383038,672975

Radius=2000

ActiveDate=08/12/1982

Location=1

Alignment=FRIENDLY

Target[001].Type=vBridge1End

Target[001].Offset=-100,0

Target[001].Heading=180

Target[001].InactiveDate=08/13/1982

Target[002].Type=vBridge1

Target[002].Offset=-50,0

Target[002].Heading=0

Target[002].InactiveDate=08/13/1982

Target[003].Type=vBridge1

Target[003].Offset=0,0

Target[003].Heading=0

Target[003].InactiveDate=08/13/1982

Target[004].Type=vBridge1

Target[004].Offset=50,0

Target[004].Heading=0

Target[004].InactiveDate=08/13/1982

Target[005].Type=vBridge1End

Target[005].Offset=100,0

Target[005].Heading=0

Target[005].InactiveDate=08/13/1982

 

Then you can make your OBJECTIVE_POINT coords the x,y location of the bridge - remember to adjust the x,y location to allow for the offset values from the origin of the target area where the bridge resides. From the example above, as the offset of the centre of the bridge is 0,0, then your OP x,y is the same as the target area, as illustrated below in the mission file (.msn) extract...

 

...

TargetArea=Weser bridge, South of Bremen

ObjectiveID=3

...

// Approach RECON area

Waypoint[04].Command=INITIAL_POINT

Waypoint[04].Position=400000,672975,2000

Waypoint[04].Size=50

Waypoint[04].Speed=180

// RECON target area

Waypoint[05].Command=OBJECTIVE_POINT

Waypoint[05].Position=383038,672975,2000

Waypoint[05].Size=50

Waypoint[05].Speed=180

Waypoint[05].Objective=TRUE

...

 

This WOE training mission pack contains a friendly bridge over the Weser to recon - so you can see how it's done in context.

Hope this helps.
