doTarget/Fire

[nominesine 0]

I opened the ArmA editor for the first time since OFP, and I feel a bit rusty. Can someone help me with the syntax.

How do I make a chopper fire it's rocktets (in this case UH60 firing it's FFAR's) with the scripting commands doTarget and fire?

I want it to fire at a target it wouldn't normally attack (like an invisible H or a building). I'm not using any invisible target addons, nor do I intend to do so, hence I need to get this syntax right.

Thanks in advance

heli dotarget target

heli fire (weapons heli select 0) 1st weapon of heli

heli fire (weapons heli select 1) 2nd

heli fire (weapons heli select 2) 3rd

the fire command is always a single tip on the fire button, so if you want to fire a mg burst you have to command the fire several times.

That could prove difficult, as the AI will probably not consider them as valid targets.

The fire command just fires the weapon regarless of where it's pointing, so you would have to make the heli point in the correct direction.

The doFire command requires a valid target, so you might have to go with an addon?
