Merging entities into one entity?

Is it possible to create a single entity out of a group of entities for a squad to build? Something like what's pictured below.

At the very least how would I get the buried bunker to not be buried anymore?

It is not possible to merge them into one entity, but you can make one structure which spawns all other objects separately.

The (smaller) non-buried variant: environment\objects\defenses\concrete\ums_mortar_bunker\ums_mortar_bunker

Thanks, I thought that might be the case. Reckon that is outside of my scope right now.

Funny, that object doesn't seem to exist for me. Any idea why?

This looks really cool!That looks like an awful place to be if you're a tank, though.

The object does not exist indeed, this is the name of a blueprint. You can create your own object with it.

The blueprint can be shown using the NIS mode in the worldbuilder.

You know all the tricks! Thanks mate. My next question is how do you get the animation of the bunkers firing? Or is that a trade secret?

Cheers mate, if I ever make map I'll be sure to include these artillery batteries!

I gladly share it

I started with this weapon: weapon\british\explosive_weapons\mortar\brit_3_inch_mortar_1_auto_light_he_mp
Clone it with a new name and set tracking\pivot_only to false.

Then clone ebps\projectile\brit_3_inch_mortar_round_slot_1_mp (also with a new name)
and set projectile_ext\launcher_marker to "fx_mortar_barrel_end."

Link the new projectile in weapon\projectile and add the new weapon to the entity in ebps\hardpoint_ext.
