Target reticule

[DJ_J3ff 10]

Hey folks. New to the forums. Had the game for 2 weeks now and pretty awesome so far.

Playing in Red Harvest, before you become the leader , the squad leader would mark the targets with a red ( ). How would I implement that in a Init, or script? I did a search on target reticule and all I got was http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=73531&highlight=target+reticule. Also, really here does not mention much about it. http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=6751. Or here neither, http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=89257 or here, http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Main_Page, unless I am missing something. Thanks for any help and sorry about the link spam, just trying to cover the basis and see if I missed anything. :) It just sorta bugs me when I am trying to find the targets these AI are seeing and I can not see them, I have a video if anyone wants to see it.

Also trying to search for red target reticule produces these links:

First of all this shold have been posted in the scripting section of things which you can find here http://forums.bistudio.com/forumdisplay.php?f=93

Secondly:

Well i cant help you with puting it in a script but.

if and AI is you're squad leader he will do this all of the time say you're the only AT man and there is a tank which is know to the squad, the target will be asigned to you and you will get the "red reticule".

Also you can do this you're self by being the squad leader and selecting a unit with an

"F key" and then pressing 2 and a list of all know tragets will apear press the corosponding number to the target

and the selcetded unit will try to destroy that target Also if said unit is a player he/she will get the "red retucule"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edit:

Just had a thort mabey you caould have a trigger or a waypoint

that when activated does

"unit" dotarget "enamy unit"

replaceing "unit" with you're players name ie p1 or unit1 what ever floats you're boat

and "enamy unit" with the desierd target's name

not sure how it works for plable units but i know it work for AI when coupled with

"unit" dofire "enamy unit"

Note:

you asign a unit name to the unit by dubble clicking them and puting somthing the the Name box :)
