I assume the two targets you're passing as parameters are actual enemies of the unit that's supposed to shoot at them? Because if they're just objects or friendly/neutral units your unit is not going to shoot, no matter how often you tell them to.

Also, it seems that you're trying to use the knowsAbout to tell the unit something about the target? That's not how knowsAbout works though - you can only use it to read the knowledge one unit has about the other. Reveal is probably more what you need.

That will be my problem then, the two targets are pop up targets.. anyway i could get him to shoot them?

Search for "invisible targets".

I think Lester did them a while ago for OFP, and AFAIK they're compatible with ArmA. I don't have a download link, but they've been mentioned here several times.
