IR strobe attachto static backback

[viperBAT44 17]

Good morning Community!

I've been searching for a way to attach an IR strobe to a static backpack in my mission.

I have copied several suggested codes,scripts,etc. and have not found anything that works at this point.

I have a limited knowledge of scripting and rely on related code snippets,etc. copied to init fields or placing .sqf's in mission folder.... just can't seem to get them to work.

What I'm doing:

HALO insertion at night near main airfield on Altis.

Player to locate UAV backpack filled with necessary equipment - darter,UAV terminal...(thus the need for IR strobe to be seen with NV)

Use Darter to laze AA armor so on and so on.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance and these forums here are my lifeline for mission making!

 

SOLVED:

Wow.I'm an idiot lol.

Found the the IR Grenade module from the Achilles addon for Zeus and synced it to backpack and... viola....WORKS.

Try placing the backpack and naming it forexample pack. Place IR strobe and name it strobe. 

Then type 

strobe attachTo [pack, [0, 0, 1] ];

in a trigger or

this attachTo [pack, [0, 0, 1] ];

in the  init field of the strobe object.

 

play with the [0,0,1] to get the correct result.

To be honest iam not sure if the object is there, but if it is not you can try to spawn it  using its classname. I dont know wich mods you have, but if you use ACE Then

ACE_IR_Strobe_Item
