Working Searchlight

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

After hours of search and work, I finally find out how to make a searchlight!

The config is finished but i still have to complete the model before release.

Here are few pics of the result. The searchlight works with player and AI and can "engage" or illuminate and follow ground or air targets...

wow that's looking cool

existing searchlights were based on MG's, but the light never reached so far as your examples

how did you manage to do this?

that's realy cool, nice textures on it and it will find the way into my addon folder.

btw. if the AI spots someone with the light, do they recognize him?

Is it based on a machinegun? I mean, in that case i think the AI using it should target the enemy with it... I have a vision of a POW escape mission using this...

wow_o.gif Cool long-range light!!! When this is finished, could you see if you could do a light-house as well? I mean, with all the things being replaced in OFP with modern configs, I think it's about time the lighthouses get to be functional as well... crazy_o.gif

Yes it is based on a MG, so you can config it to target soft, armored or air enemi vehicles. I'll also make a script for random search. I should release a aa version and probably a smaller one for guard towers. The concept is also usable on vehicles, specially jeeps or trucks.

When that addon is released, can I use it on my OTSZ mod? I was looking for that addon few weeks ago, and now you're creating it smile_o.gif

Looks good, but what is holding you back from release? Bugs, problems? Need any help? Or will it be released soon?
