This might be used in Modern Warfare.

I was wondering if u can change the distance that a beacon can be placed.

I.E.: You have a gun that "shoots" a invisible beacon to a location. after a certain amount of time you have an airstike over the location of the invisble beacon.

Anyone think this is possible? If so, how?

Well laser sight wouldn't work.

Alternatively, you could replace the beacon with a smoke signal. Similar to the RenAlert one except make the smoke larger.

Then replace the Nuclear Strike/Ion Cannon animation with one of an A10 bomber or whatever bomber you plan to use. And get it to do a flyby and drop bombs.

I'm pretty sure you can't deploy a beacon from afar. I say "pretty sure" because sometimes something turns up, but it's pretty likely you can't. You can still make the rest of the airstrike though.

One thing you might also be able to try is make it so that the airstrike happens away from the beacon, although that may not work as well.

Edit: One other thing you might be able to do is put the muzzle box for the gun farther out. This may cause some problems if you shoot right next to something though (ie, airstriking off map, if it lets you fire).

All you need is the capability of identifying the location of the projectile after it's been fired, after that its all downhill.

I have explored several diffrent methods of doing it, even talked to one of the most experenced Renegade Scripters, every single time it came out a negitive.

Why not make it all a firing animation? You see a red beam in your base, you have so long to take out the guy before the airstrike comes in. That way you can at least prevent it.

The problem isn't making an animation, its detecting where the strike should hit. You see we must have a projectile fired (in the case of your example, a laser), and then determine where that projectile hits the ground, because that is where the animation must be played.

how about this: you have a tank. but the secondary fire bone is way up in the sky( off the map) so every time you shoot 2ndary fire a missile launches from the sky and crashes down on your target.

being part of the team i should help so yes, kirby ahd a good idea but that might be iffy, ya know? lets let that other dude do his work and it's all downhill from there, but I do have an idea, make a grenade, in this case a beacon and make the laster target posinter the grenade laucnher, script it so it goes in a straight line so its gay if you want to be able to move it but hey, it'd work, i hope, if you need more of an explanation tell me......
