Getting AI to 'paint' targets?

[BittleRyan 10]

Solved. Thank you F2k, but here is what i found. AI dont actually paint it, but you can do it through a trigger or through the units INT line.

Usage: Put this in the units int line or on the activation line on a trigger:

nul=[TARGETNAMEGOESHERE] execVM "lasertarget.sqf";

Name the file with the code below:

lasertarget.sqf

Make sure you name your target and change it in the line you put in the Int line.

_target = _this select 0;
_laze = "LaserTargetW" createVehicle getPos _target;
_laze attachTo [_target,[0,0,0]];
waitUntil {!alive _target};
deleteVehicle _laze;

Getting the AI to use the LD isn't easy, they will target vehicles but that's about it.

You can place a laser dot though which other units will attack, this may help.

Actually. i figured it out after reading several pages in a thread from forever ago.

Use this script:

Usage: Put this in the units int line or on the activation line on a trigger:

nul=[TARGETNAMEGOESHERE] execVM "lasertarget.sqf";

Name the file with the code below:

lasertarget.sqf

Make sure you name your target and change it in the line you put in the Int line.

_target = _this select 0;
_laze = "LaserTargetW" createVehicle getPos _target;
_laze attachTo [_target,[0,0,0]];
waitUntil {!alive _target};
deleteVehicle _laze;

I came to this thread hoping to be useful and to direct you to my thread "from forever ago" :( But guess you found it. Don't know if that still counts as my good deed for the day.
