Heya mate, do you mean Like a deployable booby trap? If so Yes quite possible. I have made a Deployable IED so I think we could change that script around a little to serve your purpose. You can find that here
http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=32584.msg224159#msg224159. if you have trouble changing it around let me know. I will have a look later today at it aswell when I get a spare moment.
EDIT: G'day again Ok I modified the IED script. I think I fixed the drop effects to setpos'ing the flare 5000m away from the trigger area when it first drops then setpos'ing back for the loop. anyways 1st for this method to work you will have to delete your "tresflare1" Logic.
Now add this line to your init;
deployFlare = player addAction ["Deploy TripFlare", "rovingFlare.sqf",[],-1, false, false, ""];
add these 3 scripts
rovingFlare.sqf

All should work in MP as far as I can tell
I also have a Dialog progress bar for this but have excluded its use, but if it works and you want it let me know.
I am intrested in seein if this works properly in MP so can you tell me how it go'es if you use it?
