and thank you to MikeBrobst (also at dfarena) for this handy information:
"just change the pitch (ed. of the marker being used to start this effect) and have the line on the little diamond pointing at whatever you want shot
at....the rockets come from the target not to it."
Some other wac commands you may find interesting:
;fx2tgt(fx,tgt) create fx # at target # (ex. fx2tgt effect_lightning 1)
;fxrain(fx) rain down effect # somewhere near player
;fx_fxname immediate effect name (ex. fxrain fx_effect_lightning) first off, the ';' is a comment marker. Anything following ';' (or '/' for that
matter) will be disregarded by the wac file. Sorry I just copied a post and some contents of one of the wac files included with the game there.
To get your ammo stuff happening, use a teleport target (this example uses teleport target 1) with a negative pitch and a Z height to your liking, set
your area triggers to have a music(var3) setting to define location (make sure area trigger number and music location are different numbers) and use
something like this in the wac:
//hit music location 5 randomly (at least once every 5 seconds) with sidewinder missiles when player is in music location 2
if ssnloc(10000,2) and random 5 then
ammoarea(ammo_SIDEWINDER,5)
endif
//send stinger missiles down from teleport target 1 when player is in music location 2
if location 2 and elapse 4 then
ammo2tgt(ammo_AI_STINGER,1)
endif
//send mortar down near player when they are in music location 1
if location 1 and elapse 5 then
ammorain(ammo_AI_MORTAR)
endif
//pop up text on the screen when player is in music location 5 - use an elapse timer to stop the text from repeating too quickly
if location 5 and elapse 15 then
text("here is some text in the lower-left corner of the screen")
endif
//play a wave file - request medevac
if waveready() and never() then
wave("10MB517.wav",15)
endif
-------------------------
note above I have used both "location" and "ssnloc" in my if statements. I did this so that you could see that it doesn't have to be player dependent
to trigger these events. eg: you could have a blackhawk in midair being flaked for example while it is in a certain area.
all the best, anoshi.

A very handy listing of wac commands and their usage is included in the wac file which accompanies any of the single player missions which ship with
the boxed game.
Use FWO Raven's pff extractor on localres.pff to get at these wac files, and open them up in a text editor (eg: notepad) to view them.

All the hints are written above.
1) Get PFF extraction tool from downloads at this site.
2) Extract a WAC file from one of the stock single player missions
3) Find the part of it that lists the commands you can use
4) enclose the required command inside an if/then/elseif/endif statement.
5) you may want to trigger your wac commands to run when a player is within an area of the map. To do this, make an area trigger and assign it a
music(var3) number that is different to the area trigger number. The statement "location" in the wac can be followed by this music(var3) number.
6) Save the .wac file into the BHD install directory with the same filename as the map's BMS filename. (eg: both "mymap.bms" and "mymap.wac" should be
placed into the BHD install directory)
7) Launch BHD with a /d extension (eg: "pathtoBHDInstall\dfbhd.exe" /d) to test your wac out.
a basic, sample wac file is included with my AI Tutorial

--- Include in mymap.WAC ---
//play a wave file - request medevac
if location 1 and waveready() and never() then
wave("10MB517.wav",15)
endif
------
--- Include in mymap.MIS ---
1) make an area and give it a music(var3) setting of "1" and a number that is NOT "1"
2) Export your map as mymap.BMS
------
mymap.WAC and mymap.BMS must be located in the BHD install directory.

Location Trigger will not work !
Hey, I' am new at the WAC but I'm pretty good at it. I' am working on a mission with some dialog but I cannot get WAC to work with Area Triggers! I
use "Location(1)" or "ssnloc(10000,1)" but I can't get em to work. When I first learned WAC It worked fine but I cant seem to get it. All of my area
triggers are inside an area trigger... Because I have one really big one that is used for the music.
here is an example anoshi
if location(1) then
text("Example Text")
endif
that is how I do it and it does not work. I have been using "Past(#)" since triggers wont work but it is too hard to and I need to be able to use
triggers.
here is my actual WAC so far for my mission. they all work but the last 1
// WAC written by : DizAsTeR !
// Mission : Black Swamp
if past(1) and never() then
text("Created by DizAsTeR !")
wave("cmdd530.wav",150)
endif
if waveready() and past(1) and never() then
wave("play177.wav",150)
endif
if past(15) and never() then
wave("Rnga107a.wav",150)
text("Provide Air Support !")
endif
if past(15) and waveready() and never() then
wave("Play805.wav",150)
endif
if past(16) and waveready() and never() then
wave("Rnga507.wav",150)
endif
if location(2) then
text("Protect the insertion team !")
endif
if you can help, thanks

I got the impression that you might run out of sound channels if you weren't careful so I used the waveready() statement for the hell of it.
For the times when I knew there would likely be some sort of talking happening already but I wanted the wac to play then regardless, I left out the
waveready() statement.
But yes chris, from my experience you're right, it doesn't seem all that necessary. Sort of like roundabouts or "traffic calming" islands which just
give you more opportunities to make mistakes and get frustrated with little wonders such as these, (and life in general).

ok if its setup for it to happen when you enter area 1 in a single player mission then you are ssn10000. so you change
if ssnarea(10000,1) and never() then
and it should work then

Okay
Thanks.
But what if I want to do this in MP?
PS is 10000 the default SSN for the player in SP?
