Code: [Select]

_flaremkr = _this select 0
;_flaremkr is a gamelogic

#Vars
_flarepos = getpos _flaremkr
_fx = _flarepos select 0
_fy = _flarepos select 1
_fz = _flarepos select 2
flarestop = 0

#Loop
?(flarestop == 1): goto "exit"
_flare = "flare"
_flare camcreate [_fx,_fy,(_fz + 150)]

Create a game logic called "FlareMarker" without the quotes, its under  Game Logic\Objects\Game logic

Put it where you want the flares

Alt Tab into windows and goto to flashpoint\Users\(your charachter name)\missions\(whatever you called the map)

Create a text document called "flare.txt" without the quotes, then open it and copy the code posted by "M21 Man" into it, save and exit.

Then sellect, (not open) the "flare.txt" and hit F2 (rename), change the .txt part to .sqs

Back in the game double click on the player and put in the init line ([FlareMarker] exec "Flare.sqs") without the brackets.

Then create a trigger, activated by Radio alpha, put in the init line of this "flarestop = 1" without the quotes.

And finaly Read Snipers Introduction to scripts, half way down this page, http://www.ofpec.com/editors/index.php

And remember, if you dont no the answear then no question is to stupid to ask
