Title: Adding an illuminating flare launcher to the A-10?
Post by: Sole on 21 Aug 2002, 00:38:32

I've tried several different config.cpp thingy's to make a working flare launcher and OFP started and when I try to fire flares from the A10 it won't fire. :beat: Maybe it is not possible at all to add a flare launcher to a vehicle at all without the use of scripts, but IF it is and someone knows how... please tell me :)

Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

very easy i think, but this isnt tested.

_vehicle = _this select 0
_flareintervals = _this select 1

_flarestart = getpos _vehicle

"flare" = camcreate "flare" _flarestart
~_flareintervals
"flare" = camcreate "flare" _flarestart
~_flareintervals
"flare" = camcreate "flare" _flarestart
~_flareintervals
"flare" = camcreate "flare" _flarestart
~_flareintervals
"flare" = camcreate "flare" _flarestart
~_flareintervals
"flare" = camcreate "flare" _flarestart
exit

im new to scripting, but something like this will work i think, it needs lots of tweaking though.

Maybe it is not possible at all to add a flare launcher to a vehicle at all without the use of scripts, but IF it is and someone knows how... please tell me

Theory would suggest making the Flare launcher into a weapon that is mounted on the plane, modifying the CPP to show this, then it would fire as a weapons, but firing flars instead of bullets.

Its just an idea and I dont know cpps enough to try it myself..

Find out what the normal flare ammo is called and then make a weapon for the A10 that uses that ammo.  Ain't too hard.
