Spawn flares with map clicking?

[domcho 20]

Hello guys. I am making a mission which is during the night, and I wanted to know how can I spawn green flares using the radio and then map clicking on the map position so a green flare appears. Thank you!

I did a basic script for me, and it works. This is:

I did:

Add a trigger with next parameters:

*Activation : Radio Alpha

*On Activation : [] exec "Radio.sqs"

these are the scripts:

-First script : Radio.sqs

onMapSingleClick {[_shift,_alt,_pos] exec "flares.sqs"}
hint "Press shift+alt on the map to launch green flares"
exit

-Second script : Flares.sqs

? ! (_this select 0) : exit
? ! (_this select 1) : exit

_pos = _this select 2

[west,"hq"] sideChat format ["Launching green smokes to %1" , _pos]
~3
flare = "FlareGreen" camcreate [(_pos select 0) , (_pos select 1) , 150]
~0.5
exit

This is a basic script it doesn't need much commands to work.

I hope it helps

Cheers,

Thanks, it works. But is it possible to click on the map without holding any buttons?

[Aldo15 11]

Yes, it's posible.

Fix it

Radio.sqs

onMapSingleClick {_pos] exec "flares.sqs"}
hint "Click on the map to launch green flares"
exit

Flare.sqs

_pos = _this select 0

[west,"hq"] sideChat format ["Launching green smokes to %1" , _pos]
~3
flare = "FlareGreen" camcreate [(_pos select 0) , (_pos select 1) , 150]
~0.5
exit

flare = "FlareGreen" camcreate [(_pos select 0) , (_pos select 1) , 150]
~0.5
exit

It gives an error. When I click on the map it says on the top left corner '_pos]|#| exec "flares.sqs": Error Missing ( :butbut: I copied and pasted everything that you wrote here.

it's only a small typo - no worries;)

onMapSingleClick {[color="Red"][[/color]_pos] exec "flares.sqs"}

onMapSingleClick {[color="Red"][[/color]_pos] exec "flares.sqs"}

It works. Everything is OK now! Thanks a lot to both of you :bounce3:
