global mobilization How do the GM Search lights work?

[ARMTRULES 0]

I have been searching high and low for any information about the searchlights given to the East German border units and I cannot figure out how to apply them to my scenario. How in the world do they work? Is there a special script that attaches the searchlights to the BT-11 towers? I'm so confused.

Don't own the GM but for a nice searchlight effect you could alter this script: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=682402094

I use this one to put lights on a HeliCopter :

 

nul= [] spawn {while {alive ph1pilot} do { ph1pilot action ["lightOn", pakheli1]; sleep 0.001};};};

 

ph1pilot is name of pilot.

pakheli is name of HeliCopter.

 

Maybe you can use it ?

After having the same problem, this page helped: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3:_Lights#Search_Light

 

To turn the searchlight on do: 

searchlight action ["SearchLightOn", searchlight];

where searchlight is the searchlight variable.
