Note: this page is a work-in-progress! More info to follow as soon as possible.

Introduction

Secondary Operations (SecOps) may be likened to side quests in RPG games. They are simple missions that can take place anywhere in the gameworld. The Secondary Operations Manager (SOM) handles the starting of random SecOps and also manages Support Requests such as artillery.

Quickstart

A fast quickstart could be something like this:

Add SpecOp Manager Create a trigger Activation "Radio Alpha" repeteadly Set the text like "Broken arrow"

And put on act

[["transport", "aerial_reconnaissance", "supply_drop", "tactical_airstrike", "artillery_barrage"], player] call BIS_SOM_addSupportRequestFunc;

This allow you to call a broken arrow simply pushing the 0 radio option.

Functions
