flare traps

i downloaded one of the apparent famous flare traps and this was in the readme file.

Flare Trap Simulator

by Fishion (mailto:[email protected])

Here is a script to simulate a flare trap that actually uses a real flare (as opposed to a couple of fires).

This works be teleporting a dude in to fire a flare, and then removing him. This process takes only 0.05 seconds.

For this script to work you need an officer with night equipment (actually any infantry guy should do).

Paramters:

the offers name

the flare-colour you want to fire, allowed values are "flare" (white) "flarered", "Flaregreen" "flareyellow"

the height the flare should appear (meters above the ground)

the X-Coords where the flare should appear

the Y-Coords where the flare should appear

X-Coord of a safe spot for the officer (where he does not !!!! die)

Y-Coord of a safe spot for the officer (where he does not !!!! die)

the name of a game logic unit which will be used to determine if the script is currently running (only needed when the trigger is set on "repeatedly")

As an example:

[officer1,"flare",5,getpos barrel1 select 0,getpos barrel1 select 1, getpos outofway select 0,getpos outofway select 1,outofway] exec "flare.sqs"

its supposed to explain how to use it but im, a, a, a, a uhuhuh bit confused. im a bit slow today......

and RED for some reason yahoo is having troubles again so i can't download the file yet...

errr the file was the first cutseen it still needs alot of work but i got the frame work in.

and what don't u understand about that script ?

by the looks of it all u need to do is :

where it says this : put all of this in a trigger

[officer1,"flare",5,getpos barrel1 select 0,getpos barrel1 select 1, getpos outofway select 0,getpos outofway select 1,outofway] exec "flare.sqs"

then put the script file in the mission directory and create 1 unit and 2 barrels call the unit officer1 (it probily will have ot be a officer) and just make 2 barrels and call them : outofway and barrel 1 and just place them where u want it to happen ie. barrel 1 wil be where he shoots the flare and outofway will be where he is safe

well i hope that is right
