//light fire
unitname action ["Fire inflame",firename]

//put out fire
unitname action ["Fire put down",firename]

PS. this is probably instant so:

use domve and & distance < 3 in a script or something.

satisfied? ;D

ahhh, thanks a lot , the guy dont need to move cos he'll be stood next to the fire at the time but if you can be bothered how to explain how to make him move then id be gratefull, i dont really know how to write scripts so if it requres vast knoledge of scripting then i wouldnt bother  :-\ .

Erm, i dont quite understand what ya mean there Captain Winters :-\ . Why would i have missed em?
Im confused
thx.

to make him move to the fire, use:

manname domove (getpos firename)

:thumbsup:

[Owens]

ahh Right thx messiah.
But my guy bends down to light fire, lights it and then stays in that position, just crouched, how i get him to stand up. i have tried putting <man> setunitpos "UP" afterwards but it dosnt work.
thx

hmmm... yeah - well if u notice when u place a satchel charge as a player, if u dont press any keys after selecting 'place satchel charge' u remain in the same position...

so place a game logic somewhere else... and then make him move to that gamelogic using the same line as i wrote above

Try: unitname switchMove "ObjNull" or unitname switchMove "Null"

nm, i got him to light fire where he is and then run towrds fire. Atleast he stands up after he has lit it now :-\
So ill just stick him next to fire and then he can just...run somewhere  
Thx
