Script to make AI fire on smoke

[buster0083 1]

I've made a simple mission for a player to fly an AH-9 in support of troops defending Camp Maxwell against AI. Scripted in a custom key to drop smoke grenades so I could mark enemy positions in the trees for me to fire at on the next run.

Is there a way to have friendly AI open up on those smoke marks as well?

Cheers

Place some "invisible object soldier [Red}" objects (you find these under Objects Training in the editor). SetPos these objects to your marker positions, and then use doTarget and Fire commands to get your units to fire on the targets.

This definitely works. Your units will use all their ammo on them though, so you may have to script them to target objnull or some other way to stop firing at the target (or setdamage 1 on the target to kill the invisible target).
