I'm a long time OFP fan but first timer here.
I've been building numerous single player missions usually based on a movie or historical battle but too many times all the fancy stuff is out of my reach as I dont have a clue about scripting.
Im making a vietnam battle atm and i get seriously frustrated as i do not seem to get those planes drop napalm on soldiers. What im asking here is: How on earth can you assing a unit to use specific weapon? In this case F4 phantom and napalm bombs. Does this need a script or am I missing something with the editor? I have tried to search this forum and script depos but in vain. Can anyone help?

Have you checked out the command fire?

Getting a unit to use a specific weapon requires scripting, but not very much. You can do it with a few simple commands. Take a look at the comref (in editors depot). Start with the command "fire" as Macguba suggested. Then read snypirs guide "A friendly introduction to script snippets". I think that will be enough to make an F4 (or whatever it was) drop napalm at a specified location.
