To force a unit discharge his weapon, regardless of target: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/forceWeaponFire

 

To force a unit to target and fire at a specific unit:

Bob doTarget TheBadMan; Bob doFire TheBadMan;

spawn a target at the position u want to fire at.

maybe this way:

_lasertarget = "LaserTargetW" createVehicle getPosATL _position;

and then u can give ur AI Gunner the command to target and fire at it:

Bob doTarget _lasertarget; Bob doFire _lasertarget;

Wont work, first off I cant do this because its a global namespace and instead of laser target I want it to shoot in my direction even if im behind a wall

Man!! In this thread is all u need. just read it and do some thinking on your own.

But I m feeling helpful today. So I ll give you some more hints.

 

use doTarget to give your gunner the target to shoot at.

use forceWeaponfire to force those AI gunner to use the weapon trigger one time.

if the AI shall shoot more than one time then execute forceWeaponfire as often as the AI shall pull the trigger.
