shooting without target. Lights in chopper

[mars7fin]

How to get gurds shooting with out target ? Idea is that u are walking in woods where is flaretrap trigger u launch it and guards will star shooting in that direction but when and if they see u and how i can get them to shoot only 1 mag without target?

How i can add jumping lights in chopper first red then green? you know...

To shoot without target use either of the fire commands, or create a fake target.

I belive that chopper lights mode is related with the chopper's pilot behaviour... So check out for it by setting 2 choppers to "careless" behaviour and "Combat" behaviuor respectively.

If it works, make a script that sets the chopper's behaviour to "combat/stealth/Aware" before the jumping is allowed and that sets the chopper behaviuor to "Careless/Safe" when it is allowed to do...

But this is just a speculation...
I hope it works!

I mean red and green lights... you know when chopper is getting to dropzone red light will be switched on in cargo and when they are on the dropzone he switch green light on...

For red and green lights in the chopper you'd have to make an addon.

With the mag thing, you'd probably need to get them to target something else after a while, or take away their ammo.

For the lights thing, can you just get an image to appear on screen? Whether its in a corner or full screen. I've seen images appear during Intro's (alot/all of the BAS missions have that). You could have 2 images, they both look exactley the same but in one the green light is on, but the other the red light is on. the images would appear for 2-3 seconds, just long enough for you to recognise what it is.

If you've seen something in a mission you can un-pbo the mission and see how they have done it.     If it's a script you should of course get their permission before you use it, but I've never heard of anybody objecting as long as proper credit is given.  

If it's just a command you don't know, well it's in the command ref anyway so use it and give them a credit in your mission readme.
