I got this much:

Helicopter init line
this addAction ["pop smoke", "popsmoke.sqf", "SmokeShellGreen"];


The script
_bird = _this select 0;
_color = _this select 3;
_smoke = createvehicle [_color, [1,1,1], [], 0, ""];

_smoke attachTo [_bird, [-0.6,2,1]];
sleep 3;
detach _smoke;

but this shows up to anyone within a 3m distance or so.

I think you get the 3m access because of the boundingbox of the helicopter. In general actions atached to objects are accessible from distance, i am not sure but i think there is a parameter you can use for the action to showup even when you don't look at the object.
Anyways, i am not sure if i understood your issue correctly but what you need is to restrict the action to pilot/driver, gunner or commander, so only whoever ocupies those slots is able pop-up smoke.

Place a Trigger in your mission with these settings or adjust to your needs :

    Detect by BLUFOR
    Repeating
    Condition: alive player
    On Act.: nul = [player] execVM "AddSmokeVeh.sqf";

AddSmokeVeh.sqf
_unit = _this select 0;
private ["_id","_veh"];

while {alive _unit} do {
	waituntil {vehicle _unit == _unit};
	if (!isnil "_veh") then { _veh removeaction _id };
	waituntil {vehicle _unit != _unit};
	_unit removeaction _id;
	_veh = vehicle _unit;
	if (_veh isKindOf "Air") then {
	_id = _veh addAction [("<t color=""#45bc00"">" + ("Drop green smoke") +"</t>"),"popsmoke.sqf","SmokeShellGreen",-3,false,true,"",""];
	};
	if (isnil "_veh") then { _veh removeaction _id };
   };

Edit this to however you need it.

Check this script as well.
add in init line of a helicopter-
togglesmoke = [this] execVM "addsmoke.sqf";

Place addsmoke.sqf and popsmoke.sqf in mission folder.
addsmoke.sqf
//addsmoke.sqf
_heli = _this select 0;

sleep 1;
dropsmoke = _heli addaction ["drop smoke","popsmoke.sqf",true,1,false,true,"","driver _target == _this"];

popsmoke.sqf
//popsmoke.sqf
_bird = _this select 0;
_pilot = driver _bird;
_smoke = createvehicle ["SmokeShellGreen", [1,1,1], [], 0, ""];

_smoke attachTo [_bird, [-0.6,2,1]];
sleep 3;
detach _smoke;
_pilot sidechat "smoke dropped!";
