Flare Script

[HogRoot]

Ok guys I need help with a mission I am working on. ***At several locations I have triggers set up when Blufor walks into the area a flare will pop up. ***I am VERY new to scripting so I am afraid I need it spelled out for me on how to do it. ***I searched the internet and found a Flare Trap scrip that was used with OFP, but I am unable to get it to work in ArmA. ***I have the flaretrap.sqs in my mission folder and have the correct line inserted into the on activation line of the trigger...but everytime I enter the area nothing happens. ***Any help would be greatly appreciated. ***I am posting below the script I found on the net.

Well i just rewrote some parts of the script and now its working.

Note: camCreate didn't work in ArmA any longer.

Put in the Triggers On Activated field:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
x = &#91;thisList,&#34;F_40mm_White&#34;&#93; execVM &#34;Flare_Trap.sqf&#34;

Here you also can change the color of the Flare.

EXAMPLE:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
For White Flares&#58;
x = &#91;thisList,&#34;F_40mm_White&#34;&#93; execVM &#34;Flare_Trap.sqf&#34;

For Yellow Flares&#58;
x = &#91;thisList,&#34;F_40mm_Yellow&#34;&#93; execVM &#34;Flare_Trap.sqf&#34;

For Red Flares&#58;
x = &#91;thisList,&#34;F_40mm_Red&#34;&#93; execVM &#34;Flare_Trap.sqf&#34;
