Turn on/off an object

[noewon 1]

I want to use a laser pointer for a visual effect, how do I set to be on/off based on triggers? 

I've found the other posts about turning streetlights on or off, but it's not quite the same. 
if I use: object setHit [part, damage, useEffects]

What's the part for the object "IR Laser Pointer"?

I assume you mean to have units turn on/off their weapon mounted IR lasers.

 

To get a unit to turn on the IR laser, the unit must be in combat mode.

 

To turn on the IR laser

NameOfUnit enableIRlasers true;

 

To turn off the IR laser

NameOfUnit enableIRlasers false;

Nope. Just have the IR laser sitting somewhere as in a laser defense system.

The IR lasers only work on while on the rifles.
