Removing hint on the flarelauncher.

[Howard]

So I've been trying to get this C-130 to have flares...
I found the flarelauncher weapon and added it to the aircraft, works pretty nicely... The problem is that everytime you fire it you get this ding sound from a hint and some coordinates come up in the upper right corner of the HUD.
I made this quick video just to show you what I'm talking about:


Is there any way to remove that?

Where did you get that AC-130?

Is it script or an addon, if it's script look for a hint command.

If it's an addon you will need to unpack it and search through it for a possible script and remove the hint and then you can pack it up again. I don't have any link you'll have to search for them.

It's in vanilla ArmA 2.

Search for "Flarelauncher"

Then dePBO the official addons and find the script and/or eventhandler that calls it.

look like they forgot to remove a hint they used in testing.

Ca\Data\ParticleEffects\SCRIPTS\muzzle\flares.sqf

on line 43

blame Maddmatt for beeing to lazy double test his effects jk.
this happens. guess they fix that in next patch 2-3 months. so eighther copy & use that script without line 43. or wait

Yeah, I'm looking at it here, thanks!
Now, you'll have to guide me out of this aswell. I'm guessing that if I just save this, PBO it and overwrite the old CA.pbo I will get FADE triggered or something like that... So, is it possible to just create a new mod folder and put it in there? Or is it somehow possible to just extract this script and use it in a mod folder or something like that, cause I'd like to use this on multiplayer and either have a small addon that someone have to DL or put it in a mission folder or something like that..

[nuxil]

umm.. well i can give you an example

make a test mission or something..

put a heli plane or what ever in ther as player.. then on init line you put

vehicle player addEventHandler ["IncomingMissile",{_this execVM 'flares.sqf'}];

put some aa soldiers out and test.. altho this dosent spoof the missile.. you need a spoof script. which would be simple to make,

[Howard]

Well, that's OK I guess.
But I'd rather like to have it as it is now, where you have a weapon called Flares so that you can fire them off manually whenever you want.
But a spoof script would definitly be good to have, though I don't like how the missile will track the flares 100% of the time...
Takk!
