Flares...ooo pretty colours...

[Judge856]

How can I get a unit/units to start off with as many flares as I'd like? I've tried using the OPFEDITOR but it when i save it as a script and exec it, I have the option to pick flares but I have none, same with smoke nades, I'm confused  ;D

Use the addmagazine command

[Judge856]

I've tried that, but it appears if im always 'out of flares' like none left. Thats why im confused.  :-\

maybe remove something like hand grenades? or when you want to shoot flares with m203 (I think you can) remove the m203 grenades

probably won't work but you never know

[Judge856]

Nope, that does'nt work either  :'(

I dont understand the problem. Please expan on your question.

[Judge856]

Right, I add all these things (flares,smokes) into an ammo crate of player. But when I try to select them as player it says im out of ammo "Red Flares 0" and when I pick them up from the ammo crate it's still the same "Red Flares 0" as if I've used them all and got none left, but I never had any to begin with.

Erm...flare gun? Erm...where, what and how do I get a flare gun?

[tankieboy]

Try pressing 'R' to reload or press middle mouse button to reload

[Judge856]

Oh right, naw, I've tried that lol  

[Judge856]

If you can, could you explain game logic, or how to setup a trigger to pop a flare? I've looked at some previous posts about this, but I don't understand them

If you still having trouble, start with an Officer (night equipment).   He has flares already.

To fire a flare, a unit need to have a grenade launcher, attached either to an AK74 or an M16.  (Or an addon weapon.)    He also needs flares, obviously.

I've answered you latest question on the other thread.

If it says Red Flare 0 then you must have them (check your gear) but they are not loaded.    So investigate the action menu at the bottom right of the screen to load one.
