This script is for mission builders. It creates a AAA flak barrage that is tied to the designated zone in the mission editor. This avoids the need for placing large amounts of AAA batteries to get immersive flak effects.
*UPDATED on 01/09/2026
New features allow the flak barrage to be stopped or degraded if the designated unit is destroyed. Modify lines 53 and 54 to enable this feature.
Usage:
1.) Create a trigger zone in the mission editor for the area you want protect by AAA
2.) Edit line 13 in the script to match your mission editor trigger zone name.
3.) Open the trigger rules options panel in the mission editor
4.) Create a new trigger type, "Once".
5.) Under Actions, add a new "DO SCRIPT" action.
6.) Paste the contents of AAA_barage.lua into the TEXT field
7.) Fly through the trigger zone and try to survive.
By default, the script will engage blue coalition aircraft. You can change this accordingly in the script. Many other parameters are also configurable in the script, so experiment and enjoy!
