Title: flares and Fire command for ArmA
Post by: chappy on 06 Apr 2007, 03:43:00

Hey all, first post here
I've searched for this problem but from what i can see the only answers available are for OFP versions and from what i've tried they are not useable in ARMA

I'm trying to get OPFOR to fire flare shells from the ak74GL.
Anyone know how to ?
so far i have 'this addmagazine "flarered_gp25";' in each init field of the guys i want to fire the flares and then a trigger set for blufor to enter that will give the fire command to the opfor grenadiers. however the fire commands i've tried (basically all examples from ofp) have not worked.

The search function is your friend.

I searched on 'GP25' and uncovered this:

flarered_gp25 is the magzine name. try use its ammo name:
"F_40mm_Red"
