turn helicopter lights on and point to a marker position?

[craptakular 1]

I wish to spawn in a helicopter get it to move to a marker, turn its search light on and have the search light point towards a marker i have placed on the ground.

How do I get a helicopters light to point at a map marker?

Hey,

right now it's impossible to make a chopper turn on its main lights as long as it's piloted by AI.

Feel free to check out the link to the corresponding ticket in my signature.

I put this in the waypoint of a helicopter to make it chase the player with it's spotlight on. Works best if you are in a fleeing vehicle. Maybe you can adapt it?

null = [] spawn {while {true} do { (driver heli1) action ["lightOn", heli1]; sleep 0.01;};}; 
null = [] spawn {while {true} do {_index = currentWaypoint group heli1; [group heli1, _index] setWaypointPosition [position player, 0]; sleep 1};};
