Infra Red Strobe

[Baseheadz]

has anybody made an infra red strobe script so that infantry can place the strobe on the ground and heli pilots will know where to pick up the troops?

Giday Baseheadz,
                            I haven't sorry , just thought you might be able to rework one of the scripts that makes a helicopter come when you set off a flare. If the Infra Red Strobe is a device you might need an addon(don't know if there is one myself, sorry) to get the effect of the soldiers placing it.
Hope that helps and not hinders.

I think the BAS helicopter demo missions had one where you used a smoke grenade to call in choppers during the day but if you selected night time for your mission then it would be a flare-type grenade.  not sure if that was a scripting thing or an addon included with their units.

anyone else know about this?

The strobe is a BAS addon, you could use an eventhandler to track where a strobe has been placed and have a helicopter pilot land at that position.

the BAS MH-60 comes with a blue strobe light addon (even looks like a strobe marker) but they didn't make a way for you to accauly use it (throw it like a grenade)

Good idea.  The darn flares are way to visible to everyone, a strobe is much better.
