Artillery mode question

[Vilespring]

What line of code allows the Wespe, Priest, and the Sexton to use the artillery view for long range bombardments by pressing right click? I've made a SPG that I want to be able to use this mode, but I cannot find how.

The "trace" code i belive

Code: Select all

rem *** WespeGunnerCamera ***
ObjectTemplate.create Camera WespeGunnerCamera
ObjectTemplate.setMaxSpeed 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.setAcceleration 0/0/0
ObjectTemplate.setInputToYaw c_PIMouseLookX
ObjectTemplate.setInputToPitch c_PIMouseLookY
ObjectTemplate.CVMExternTrace 1   <----------------- meep

Okay, I'll test that. I feel like I need to show what it looks like, it's so outrageous because I build my vehicles with random parts I can find...

EDIT: welp, it isn't that.

ohh it seems theres more to it, code working together kinda

Code: Select all

rem *** Wespe_Gunner_PCO1 ***
ObjectTemplate.create PlayerControlObject Wespe_Gunner_PCO1
" alot of code"
and
ObjectTemplate.artPos 1   <--------------- this one!

yup, that did it. had to do some fidgeting to get the elevation and traverse ticks right!
you know, those things can do so many strange things!
