Maybe try OFPEC's tutorial page. I'm pretty sure they've got one there, heck, they have a tutorial for everything.

what do you want to actually do with the laser designator?, as even in the editor you can tell for example a ai A10 with GBU to target a laser target and it will bomb the target.

I really want the lasor designator to do ANYTHING like using a bomber or making tanks shoot somewhere and stufff like that.

I think in the mapfact editor upgrade there is a set of laser target which are object which you can place on a map, which will allow you to get aircraft to shoot at them.

AI controlled Cobras and Apaches will fire their AGMs (not cannon or rockets) and Warthogs will drop LGBs (they won't use cannon or Mavericks) at a laser target. You don't need any waypoints, scripting or commands, the AI just needs to see the target and it will attack.

Tanks won't shoot laser targets, they don't even see them. You'll need some addon invisible armored targets or invisible infantry targets and some scripting for that.

If you have a player pilot using manual fire in a chopper with AI gunner, laser target can be used to guide the cannon. Player needs to lock LGBs on target or they'll just free fall. Mavericks won't lock on to laser.

You want to make a mission using the laser designator? Then you should probably be in the mission editing forum.

I wrote a couple of scripts to do fixed wing air support with a laser designator a while back. One to drop laser guided bombs, the other to fire an air to surface missile at the designated target.

They aren't multiplayer compatible, although with a little editing, you could convert them.

They even work with the oh-58's designator.

The laser designator scripts start on page 2 of this thread. You may find some of the other things in that thread usefull too.

The scripts are commented pretty well and have an example mission. So at the very least, you can figure out the basic steps involved in using a designator.

Can you make a script to make the target explode like 10 secs later, but with no Ai. Like with Morar like sounds?
