Try createVehicle instead of camCreate in ArmA.

COMREF createVehicle

Almost the same way as camCreate.

An example would be great if anyone can come up with one

A simple radio trigger activation field (make sure it is night time):

Code: [Select]

"F_40mm_Green" createVehicle [getPos player select 0, getPos player select 1, 50]
If "F_40mm_Green" is wrong (not sure), try with "FlareGreen_M203"

flareG = "F_40mm_Green" createVehicle [getPos player select 0, getPos player select 1, 100]

Works fine

Hey Arkon : replied to your thread in the BI forums as well, but I thought I'd fix it up a wee bit here:

IMHO, for createVehicle to work (much like many commands), you need to "name" it. Try : YourFlare = "FlareGreen_m203" createvehicle [getPos player select 0, getPos player select 1, 50]. Good luck!

Damn you Planck! Quick bugger!

Wolfrug out.
