As a follow up to my Arty Spotter script, I wanted to create a carefree, user friendly JTAC Lase Anything script.

Script feautures:
+ script only needs to be loaded in a trigger. No JTAC unit needed. Target group naming optional, but not mandatory.
+ JTAC reports target position in MGRS, standard Lat/Lon and decimal Lat/Lon
+ laser code can be changed in flight (default 1516)
+ target group can be changed in flight (default name "TARGET")
+ option to request smoke marker
+ option to select IR pointer
+ option to skip current target (JTAC will loop through the group)
+ option to terminate JTAC service (can be resumed by selecting new target group)
+ interaction with the script through map marker text field
+ works on any map
+ can lase static objects and normal AI groups/units


With maximum user friendliness in mind, this lase anything script will only require you to load the script in a trigger. No JTAC unit is needed 8everything is Cloud based nowadays, even JTACs), thus no fiddling in the editor with unit placements to ensure line of sight or making sure the JTAC and his target don't engage each other in a fire fight.

You can use a marker on the F10 map to interact with the script.

+ by typing "code:xxxx" you can assign a new laser code, with "xxxx" being checked for plausibility and then interpreted as new laser code. Like this you can attack the same target group, even when carrying differently coded bombs. Or you and your wingman can attack the same target, eventhough carrying LGBs with differing codes.

+ by typing "target:abcdef" you can assign a new target group, with abcdef being the group name. If you terminated the JTAC service already, assigning a new group, will re-establish the JTAC service.

+ by typing "spot.abcde" you can select either marking by laser or by IR pointer, with "abcde" being either "laser" or "ir".

The script comes with a quick start guide, depicting all the options.

Enjoy!
