The Arty Spotter Script was inspired by the use of helicopters as airborne artillery spotters. In DCS (SP) we often identify targets, but we have to engage them ourselves, as the AI wingman will only attack predefined targets.
The intention of the script is to give the (single) player a tool, with which he can identify targets on any map, at any location and have them destroyed.
The script is independent from unit names or any AI assets at all, to provide easy accessibility for everyone. It will work for helicopters and jets with TPODs alike, even with aircraft that rely on Mk I eyeballs.
No AI artillery needs to be placed on the map, thus no worrying about minimum and maximum ranges.
No Mist or Moose required, works with any map and any aircraft.
