I've already tried that.. http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

I named the AI controlled UH-60 to Heli.. then I set in the init field "Heli action ["lightoff"]" but the still have the lights on.. any other idea?

maybe it could be, that you need
a specific unit to do this in a specific
vehicle (both need names)
it's only a suggestion, i still can't
try it, 'cause i'm still @ work http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

You could try setting their behaviour to combat, and they should turn their lights off.

Thanks.. the behaviour thing worked... http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
just one problem though... I want the chopper to sneak in over enemy lines at night.. without detection.. and If I have them at "combat" mode they will engage the enemy upon detection.. I don't want that.. and when I use the "Careless" mode they have their lights on...
any other help?

Set the "combat mode" to Never fire, and if this don't work, set ammo to zero.

In a nut shell,
1) set the behaviour to COMBAT,
2) set the combat mode to "Never Fire" (or set the ammo to zero)

it seems that when the chopper detects the enemy the flyinheight won't work since it pops up to around 100m and becomes a great sitting duck for enemy AA..
That's the main problem... I've tried the never fire and all that... but I want the chopper to stay at about a height of 20m and not care about what's going on around it... with its lights turned OFF!!! http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif http://www.flashpoint1985.com/ikonboard3/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

It's down to the AI then, i think theres a command for switching the AI off..............

I found this, but I haven't tested it yet

unitName DisableAI “aiArea”

aiArea indicates the area of the AI to disable. Valid values are :

"target" - ?
"autotarget" – Automatically targeting
"move" – Automatically moving

Try disable the automatic targeting

I know when I tell the guys in my platoon to go stealth they turn their lights off maybe something in the scripting to set the AI to stealth
