|tName= Bombing

|vNum= 1.2.4

|type= Main task

|for= Airplanes, Helicopters

|desc= Assigns a point on the ground for which the AI will attack. Best used for discriminant carpet bombing of a target or having a GBU hit a specific point on the map.

|avail=

|form= This task needs to be in the following format.

Bombing = {
id = 'Bombing',
params = {
point = Vec2,
weaponType = number,
expend = enum AI.Task.WeaponExpend,
attackQty = number,
direction = Azimuth,
groupAttack = boolean,
altitude = number
altitudeEnabled = boolean,
}
}

'''Required parameters''':
point: vec2 coordinate of the target. Can also be an x and y values directly in params table.

attackQty: Number of times the group will attack if the target.

'''Optional Parameters''':
All other variables are optional. Some variables require other entries, for example the boolean values require the corresponding value if the boolean is true.

expend: Enum that defines how much munitions the AI will expend per attack run.

groupAttack: If true then each aircraft in the group will attack the point.

altitude: Number in meters at which you want the aircraft to engage from

altitudeEnabled: Boolean value for whether or not the altitude check applies

|enum= weaponType is a number associated with a correspond [[DCS_enum_weapon_flag|weapons flags]]

{{Template:DCS_enum_AI_expend_list}}

|exam= The following will make the group "droneyTheDrone" destroy a bridge with a pair of guided bombs.

local target = {}
target.point = {x = trigger.misc.getZone('bridge').point.x, y = trigger.misc.getZone('bridge').point.z}
target.expend = "Two"
target.weaponType = 14
target.attackQty = 1
local engage = {id = 'Bombing', params = target}
Group.getByName('droneyTheDrone'):getController():setTask(engage)

|notes= See article [[Mission Editor: AI Tasking]] for more information on how AI tasking is handled within DCS.
