Shooter with night vision

[Coladebote 46]

Hello guys:
I'm trying to get an FIA shooter to appear at night with night vision. I have prepared this script but it gives an error and does not do its job. Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong?

 

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

// SHOOTER //

_markerstr = createMarker ["Unit_1",[3263.3,912.274]];
_markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON";
_height = 0;
_pos = getMarkerPos "Unit_1";
_Unit_1 = [ [_pos select 0, _pos select 1, _height], EAST, ["O_G_Sharpshooter_F"],[],[],[],[],[],0] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
{_x setFormDir 0; _x allowFleeing 0; _x setdir 0; _x addItem "ACE_NVG_Gen4"; _x assignItem "ACE_NVG_Gen4"; _x enableAI "TARGET"; _x enableAI "AUTOTARGET"; _x setUnitPos "AUTO"; _x setBehaviour "SAFE"; _x setCombatMode "RED"} forEach units _Unit_1;
_Unit_1 action ["ACE_NVG_Gen4", _Unit_1 ];

sleep 4;

Thanks.

What is the error?

 

In the meantime, instead of 

_x addItem "ACE_NVG_Gen4"; _x assignItem "ACE_NVG_Gen4";

you can simply do

_x linkItem "ACE_NVG_Gen4";

Not sure what you are trying to do here. Force the AI to use the NVGs? If it is dark out, they'll use them. Just remove that line.

Excellent. Suggested changes work perfectly. The shooter appears in the position with night vision activated. The little script, therefore, is as follows:

 

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

// SHOOTER //

_markerstr = createMarker ["Unit_1",[3263.3,912.274]];
_markerstr setMarkerShape "ICON";
_height = 0;
_pos = getMarkerPos "Unit_1";
_Unit_1 = [ [_pos select 0, _pos select 1, _height], EAST, ["O_G_Sharpshooter_F"],[],[],[],[],[],0] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
{_x setFormDir 0; _x allowFleeing 0; _x setdir 0; _x linkItem "ACE_NVG_Gen4"; _x enableAI "TARGET"; _x enableAI "AUTOTARGET"; _x setUnitPos "AUTO"; _x setBehaviour "SAFE"; _x setCombatMode "RED"} forEach units _Unit_1;

sleep 4;

 

Harzach, thank you very much for your help.

btw, _unit_1 can't be a group && a unit. If I'm right you tried to pass the spawned group to action.

imho, too much similar names ("unit_1", _unit_1) for marker, group and unit. So, you're lost.

Try something like "mk1"  _grp1  and _unit1 as leader _grp1  or units _grp1 #0
