Hey m8,i tried this out for you,use an open truck then place a bluefor static searchlight over the back end of truck, and place this in the init line of the searchlight, this setPos [(getPos this select 0),(getPos this select 1),2];

Hope thats what u wanted m8.:)

It's possible for ArmA II via attachTo command, but in ArmA it won't work. I'm sorry to say that I've seen any proper script that could be working. Even it'll work in singleplayer mode, it won't work in multiplayer because of lots of synchronization problems between the server/clients.

My goal is to get an open ural to patrol with the search mounted.

Doc I thank you for your help. do you have anymore ideas?

mabe attachedObject in the ural init?

Ive named my unit and search and substituted them for "this".

create a searchlight and put this in the initialization line

this attachTo [truck,[0,1,-.8]];  this action ["lightOn", this]

create a truck and name it truck
