Fire up your Editor
Set a Marker called "art" (no quotes)
Make a trigger, set i to Radio alpha
In the On Activation field type in:   ["art",20,3] exec "art.sqs"


_area = 5
_shells = 1


_CentrePos = GetPos _Player
_xco = _CentrePos select 0
_yco = _CentrePos select 1
_zco = _CentrePos select 2
   
_areaX2 = _area * 2

~1
titletext ["\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlared Deployed !","plain", 2]

~1

_a = _shells

#start

_bomb1 = "FlareRed" camCreate [_xco + Random(_areaX2) - _area,_yco + Random(_areaX2) - _area,_zco + 40]

Try this.

Add an invisible Helipad to the place you want your flare to appear. Setpos it 200m in the air and then camcreate the flare on it's position when your guy hits the trigger.

Code: [Select]

;[getPos gamelogic1, 20]exec"fireflare.sqs"
_pos = _this select 0
_velup = _this select 1

_posf = [_pos select 0, _pos select 1, 1]
_flare = "FlareGreen" camCreate _posf
_flare setVelocity [0.1,0.1,_velup]
exit

You don't need any fancy script for it. In the trigger's Init field put:

Code: [Select]

flare1 = "flare" camCreate [getPos _triggername select 0, getPos _triggername select 1, 150]

_triggername  -  the name of the trigger

150  -  fare's initial height (adjustable)
