Flunky 0 Posted March 16, 2002 Hi all, new to these here forums, but frequent at another one. I have tried alot of things to get this to work, how do I get the M2 Machine Gun (East) to turn off it's lights at night? I have tried the action string, and setting it's behaviour to all the settings.. none works... any help is appreciated... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intruder 0 Posted March 16, 2002 I think this is a bug in the game, AI M2's gunners always have their light on at night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flunky 0 Posted March 16, 2002 Heh, I didn't know you were on these forums Intruder... Do you think it can be fixed with a simple script? Cuz it is necessary, as you land, in an area with alot of overgrowth and bushes, the beach is cleared then you get about 10m away from their position and start getting shelled, and unloaded on by 4 M2s... The Guns are in the bushes where you can't see them, but having their light on makes it pretty pointless... But thnx for your help anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flunky 0 Posted March 16, 2002 Please people of these here forums! This is very vital to my mission, I think a simpe script will do... But I have no idea how to do it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart.Jan 0 Posted March 16, 2002 Try to place empty machineguns and behind them put soldiers. For each soldier make waypoint getin on M2s with some condition that will be activated when you want. For each crew of M2 put into init field : this SetCombatMode "BLUE" and in each getin waypoint mark combat mode Fire at will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flunky 0 Posted March 16, 2002 Thanks for your help, but that is what I currentley have, only instead of BLUE I have Green. I found that when you put BLUE they rarely shoot, even when you change to Fire At Will. I have the mpty M2s and the soldiers that I use have this moveingunner M2Name. Nothing seems to work... and since it is a little after midnight in the mission, these Light MUST be off... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart.Jan 0 Posted March 16, 2002 I think there is bug in game : When you are gunner, you have option Ligts On/Off, but if you order man from your group to be gunner, you haven't option to command him Ligts On/Off. I tried command unit action ["lightoff"] and this isn't working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flunky 0 Posted March 16, 2002 I have noticed this... wayyyy back in the pagesof 15 and 16, or around there, this problem was mentioned. A person said that he had to edit some file... and I am wondering what he did.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bart.Jan 0 Posted March 16, 2002 But when you edit some file in game, mission will be playable fine on your computer, but everyone else will have M2s with lights on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
