Flare script

[Sgt. Stryker 0]

Ok heres the deal, I am making a night Nam map with NVA sieging my hill. I want to make a script or have some way so that theres constantly a flare in the air (3 actually just on different parts of the map). I searched for flare but all i coudld find was flare addon stuff. Any help would be greatly apperciated.

You know what else would be nice? A script that adds an action for a soldier to fire a flare.

Use something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

#start

_flare1= "flare" camCreate [getPos flare1 select 0, getPos flare1 select 1, 200]

_flare2 = "flare" camCreate [getPos flare2 select 0, getPos flare2 select 1, 200]

_flare3 = "flare" camCreate [getPos flare3 select 0, getPos flare3 select 1, 200]

~20

goto "start"

To adjust the height of the flare change the number at the end of each array. To adjust the timing between each flare change the ~20 number.

You will need to create three game logics, flare1, flare2, flare3. These are where the flares will be created.

It don't seem to be workin for me, where do i put the script? And say if i make a script called "flare.sqs" with that scripting in it, should i just put [] exec "flare.sqs" in the init's of each of the game logics ?

Run the script flare.sqs from a trigger with the condition set as true if you want it to start from the start of the mission.

To not even have a trigger, put it in init.sqs (you have to make it, it execs automaticly at teh start of your mission)
