dagu415 10 Posted August 19, 2013 So I read the ARMA2 manual... went over all the in-game controls, spent several days searching Google, searched these forums, and still for the life of me cannot figure out HOW TO AIM THE SPOTLIGHT in a helicopter? I've seen COUNTLESS youtube videos of people doing this, yet I can't figure out how? I've figured out that you can turn the lights ON by pushing "L", a spotlight turns on aiming at the ground below my helicopter, but I can't figure out how to aim it? Can anyone explain how to aim the spotlight in a helicopter while you're flying it?? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tenderkaj 10 Posted August 19, 2013 I think it's not possible, for two reasons: first, fly the helicopter and aim the searchlight at the same time would be hard, and second, i think there are not so much keys in the keyboard. But maybe I'm wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
comp_uter15776 1 Posted August 19, 2013 Yea, I was under the impression too that it wasn't possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2517 Posted August 19, 2013 Not possible by design, but I've always hoped that someone smarter than I would mod it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted August 20, 2013 It would require access to the original models, unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2517 Posted August 20, 2013 I was imagining something along the lines of attaching an invisible spotlight object (or maybe just the emitter - I really don't know how any of this stuff works in Arma) to the helo that is somehow controllable using the arrow keys or similar. Is this even theoretically possible? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dagu415 10 Posted August 25, 2013 but if it's impossible, then how did this guy do it? - in this video, you can clearly see the spotlight being aimed at around 11:11I know that citylife rpg is a mod for arma2, but did they have to mod the helicopter to be able to do this?

max power 21 Posted August 25, 2013 The helicopter is custom. ---------- Post added at 11:52 ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 ---------- I was imagining something along the lines of attaching an invisible spotlight object (or maybe just the emitter - I really don't know how any of this stuff works in Arma) to the helo that is somehow controllable using the arrow keys or similar. Is this even theoretically possible? Yes I believe such a thing can be done with scripts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
