Quick and smiple answer, no.

[GCGoquingco]

How do you do that with nam pack 2?
the officers use flare guns. I hope someone can help me in my mission.  
(thanks

Thnaks O'Neill it really Helped.

As for you Lt. Spears the best thig you could do is ask Selectthis or one of the oher creators of the NAM pack.

Alternitavely you could experiment with some of the names when trying to do this command.

Example :

OfficerFlare fire ["Flaregun","flare", "flare"] or sumthin like tht

[O Neil]

Quick and simple question, no.........jks.

What's the difference in putting flare 1nce, and putting flare 2wce?

O Neil

PS: Just curious.

[rchxenson]

one of the flare is for color, I forget which but just fool with it and you will find out....

[Messiah]

as for cam create - when i try and do it - the flares arent a light - if i then exchange what i wrote with a smoke shell it works fine - any1 know why when i cam create a red flare, nothing happens?

[rchxenson]

you have to set the flares at an altituted so that they work....
use the XYZ set pos guidelines.

[SharkDog]

So how do i add flares to a unit?

[Ace]

First if you want to add a weapon or Magazine you have to remove one (unless the unit has an empty ammo or weapon slot) You can do this by typing in the Init Field of the deired unit
this removemagazine "handgrenade" or any other magazine that is there

Now you add the flare

this addmagazine "flare"

Other possible flare values are flareyellow or flarered. Check the Unofficial Command Referance for a list of weapons and ammo names.

could someone explain me this camcreate thing?
it seems to be more simple than working with a unit shooting a flare, but i'm not very experienced with this command.

[O Neil]

Hey

Call you unit    'dude'    
then, in a trigger, type the following:

flare1="flare" camcreate[getpos dude select 0, getpos dude select 1,50]

That will create a flare up in the sky. NOw, if you want a bomb, replace      "flare"    with one of the following:

heat73
heat105                          
heat125
shell125                      
shell120

O Neil

PS: What else can you put there ?

[Messiah]

'bomb' as a matter of fact

and this will create a flare over "dude's" position?
