River Ambush!

[ShadowD BOB]

Hey, i'm making a Vietnam river ambush mission.  i've created tiggers on river to simulate explosions and even a couple of rpg soldiers on shore firing, is there any way i can get the other enemy ai to fire on the boat using the normal rifles or machine gun.  I cant get em to fire on the boat and dont know why, the rpg's are fine just not normal soldiers.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thx.

Do the RPG soldier fire their RPGs or their rifles?  It could be because the boats are armoured and the AI knows that shooting a rifle at it wont do anything.

In my experience RPG soldiers will fire rockets at boats, but that's all.    For the others try

dude1 doTarget boat1
dude1 doFire boat1

May be better get them to shoot at the crew, since as Icarus says the boat is armoured and small arms fire isn't going to do much.

If you created the boat as West (i.e. not Empty) and called it boat1 the driver will automatically be called boat1D and the gunner boat1G .... or one of them might be boat1C if they are treated as the Commander, don't know.  

Hope that helps.

It will be G and D.  There is no commander in a boat.
