Could be that the soldier doesn't think that the gun is an appropriate weapon to use on the barrel. For example, if you were to replace the barrel with a empty BMP, the soldier would lob grenades, but he wouldn't fire his guns as he knows he has no chance of taking out the BMP with his gun.

First give your soldier a name, then give the barrel a name. Then make a trigger, and in the activation field put: unitname dofire barrelname Should do the trick!

I think, from now the chopper would know, that this is an enemy truck. put this into the init-field of the soldier: this moveincargo your_truck; this setbehaviour "careless" Your_truck represents the name of your truck.<span id='postcolor'> Better still, combine the two! Place a non-empty truck, and in the init field type: this setfuel 0; this setbehaviour "careless"; Then you'll have a truck with a side that won't move, and the guy in it is no threat.

You forgot an option: I would buy it, but I'm broke This means I'll be forced to go for the hamster option!

An empty vehicle will always show up as white/neutral, regardless of whether a soldier has just got out of it or not. Try this: put normal (non-empty) trucks on the map, and in the initialisation field for each one type: this setfuel 0; This will remove the trucks fuel, so it won't go anywhere, but with the guy still in it, it will still have a side. The chopper should attack no problem :-) EDIT: Edited, had better idea Â

You can add vehicles weapons to any unit in the game. I have had Sabot rounds coming out of a soldiers chest, mavericks being fired off their shoulders..... However, adding a weapon to a unit doesn't mean it will work. I have added a tanks main gun to an LST when I was trying to make a mission involving a beach landing, and the beach being shelled from the sea. The gun went in ok, but it wouldn't fire. So you may well be able to add a a weapon to the tractor, but you may not be able to actually fire it.

Admittedly yeah, but it's damn deadly and sounds pretty cool.

It's not about whether the SA-80 is good or not, some guy simply wants to use the SA-80. And you can do. Simply read my last post, and you can go straight to a place to get one, with bonus British Infantry included!

LOL three of us tell him at once. Think he's gonna get the idea?

Make sure you have a space between the .exe and the -nosplash command. It should look something like this: "~flashpoint.exe -nosplash" If you have it like this: "~flashpoint.exe-nosplash" then you will get the 'invalid filename' message you mentioned.

Go here and download MadDogX's British Light Infantry addon. This will give you an SA-80 (among other things) to play with.

I would like them to fix the few bugs with the AI. So that when you are a black op, it's the middle of the night and it's pitch black, and your lying in a bush. None of the soldiers can possibly see you, and the officer is looking in another direction so he can't pick you up with his NV goggles. You pop an enemy soldier at the back of a column in the head with your silenced HKMP5SD. He drops silently. The rest of the soldier in the column haven't seen him go down, couldn't have heard him go down. But all of them instantly know exactly where you are, mount their weapons, hit the deck and pepper you with bullets. And also they need to fix the fact that the AI never loads HEAT rounds in a tank.
