Missile flight profiles – Arma 3

Example Configuration

cfgWeapons.hpp

class my_launcher : MissileLauncher
{
  modes[] = { "Direct", "TopDown" };
  class Direct : Mode_SemiAuto
  {
    …
    textureType = "direct";
    displayName = "Direct";
    ...
  };
  class TopDown : Direct
  {
    textureType = "topdown";
    displayName = "Top-down";
  };
};

cfgAmmo.hpp

class my_missile : MissileBase
{
  ...
  lockSeekRadius = 100;
  flightProfiles[] = { "Direct", "TopDown", "LoalDistance", "LoalAltitude", "Overfly", "Cruise" };
  class Direct
  {
  };
  class TopDown : Direct
  {
    ascendHeight = 150.0;
    descendDistance = 200.0;
    minDistance = 150.0;
    ascendAngle = 70.0;
  };
  class LoalDistance : Direct
  {
    lockSeekDistanceFromParent = 300.0;
  };
  class LoalAltitude : Direct
  {
    lockSeekAltitude = 100.0;
  };
  class Overfly : Direct
  {
    overflyElevation = 4.0;
  };
  class Cruise : Direct
  {
    preferredFlightAltitude = 50.0;
  };
};

In this case, the launcher is capable of using Direct and TopDown flight profiles and the missile is capable of all the flight profiles. Thus - in the game - the player/AI will only be capable of switching between Direct and TopDown flight profile. If there will be another flight profile declared in the launcher - let’s call it XY - it would not be available to player/AI, because the ammunition does not support it.
