Laser Designator Dot

[kingneb]

What command or variable is used to get the position of the laser designator dot?

I think that there's no name, command or variable for it. It just shows as a enemy target on 'radar' that AI controlled A10 will attack with lgbs, ah64 with hellfires etc. I guess the target is also visible to other players in multiplayer.

Your right on that the Laserguider just makes a target and when you move the weapon around the target will move.

I tested it out whit some guys of my clan. we had some1 whit a laserguider on the ground painting a target 1 in a a10 and 1 in a ah-64 when the person whit the laserguider fired it the ppl in the chopper and plane got a target showing up whit someting called laserguidedtarget or someting like that.

Doesn't I press Shift, Tab or somethin to display the target (as it would by rightclicking when in the radars range)?

Hi,

Here is a basic example mission I knocked up, that allows you to grab the position of a West Laser Designator target. If thats what your after?

Just use the radio to display the XYZ position.

The mission doesn't work. It has to be a folder called Mission.intro, not a file. There is no software for reading intro-files, afaik

Err...It's a zip file. As the name says, LaserTarget.Intro.zip. You unzip it ***

I checked out UNN's scripted mission. I thought it worked fine. Ofcourse there is a flaw in the whole action.

Unn all it has in your mission is 2 triggers and the laser black op.

So I thought, hmm there is not chopper or anything to test it out to blow something up. So I inserted a chopper (ah-64) and made it fly at it's present location of creation.

Then as I previewed the mission, the chopper does fire at the spot where you aim the target also yes it only does fire the 8 hellfire missles. But here is the flaw.

You have to point the laser atleast a certain amount of meters infront of the chopper. or else it wont fire it's missles. Well the good news it there is a way around this.

Just give the AH-64 a waypoint order of seek and destroy with open fire and engage at will and combat mode and skill level high. Then you can get the chopper to fire anywhere you point that laser, doesn't matter where.

Hope this helps anyone.
