How exactly does the flaregun call in Artillery?

[Heer_sturmfuhrer]

Basically im trying to make a similar artillery ability for Vanilla MoW, however all I know is that in the flare.ammo file there is a tag called Flaerammo, which is linked to interaction_terrain - ground, rock, mud e.t.c that links artillery_flaer_ammo from interaction_entity - explosion.inc, however I thought a link from interaction_terrain would lead to the resource/set/fx, where ex_anti_size3.def files are? Except an artillery_flaer_ammo.def dosent exist.

My question it how is the artillery ability linked to the flaer gun/ ammo?

Thanks

I may got an answer, you shot the flare gun, wich maybe reveals the position, and then you can fire your artillery

This:
eg ground.inc

    else stuff "flaerammo"
	  {spawn "artillery_explosion_flaer"}

flaerammo is tagged to the projectile fired from the flare gun. This hits the ground, which spawns "Artillery_explosion_flaer" from the explosive.inc (interaction_entity)

which contains this

{"artillery_explosion_flaer"
	{on "explosion"
		{stuff_detonate}
	}
	{on spawn
		{spawn "smoke_red_small"}
		{spawn "smoke_red_norm"}
		{delay 10
			{delay 2
				;{set_radius 20
				{call "explosion"}
			}
			{start_sound "mission/artillery/"}
			{start_sound "weapon/shot/artillery"}
		}
	}
}

which creates the smoke, delays for 10 seconds and kaboom.

Ive done all these things, yet when I fire a flare gun nothing happens, not even the red smoke.

Remember this is MoW where talking about.
