I want to create flying helicopter with search Light ? Does anyone know how?

Ye I want to know that aswell... :dozingoff

Best solution I can think of is Attatchto. Ive made a template for you.(http://rapidshare.com/files/253750699/SearchlightHeli.utes.7z.html)its the only solution other than making a whole new aircraft I think. The last number on the command is the height, the 2nd to last is the y axis and the 1st is the x axis location.

Is it a script? Because my problem is that untill I get into an chopper the lights turns on. I want the enemy chopper to come with lights on but it wont. Please help

The easiest method I know of is to assign a waypoint with 'safe' as the status. However, as soon as the helo takes fire from an enemy, the lights will switch off (which is fair enough, you don't want to make a target of yourself).

ah, thx alot. I will try that later!

thanks Hellfire257.:) But,how to turn light to look to the ground when chopper flying ?

Depends on what chopper you are having, try the UH-1Y or what it is called and put it on "safe" behaviour on a couple of waypoints and see if it works.

Can i use the attachto fucntion in arma 1

You cant use it in ArmA 1 because it was added in the ArmA2.

No no no....I want this chopper. :D Want to have stick light on the ground directly under the chopper... I try to rotate "Object" ( Object setVectorUp [0,0,0] ),but when I attach searchlight to chopper,searchlight is not rotated...does anyone know command which combine (setVectorUp) and (attachto) command? (sorry for my bad English )

sorry, cant answere on that one :/

I did some work with this and found a few things that worked up to a point.

Some choppers have lights you just need to set them to safe. They don't angle down very much though.

You can fake the ground being light up by attaching a lighting effect, just place the following code into a choppers Init Box.

light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal position this; light setLightBrightness 0.5; light setLightAmbient[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]; light setLightColor[1.0, 1.0, 1.0]; light lightAttachObject [this, [0,0,-10]];light = "#lightpoint" createVehicleLocal position this; light setLightBrightness 0.5; light setLightAmbient[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]; light setLightColor[1.0, 1.0, 1.0]; light lightAttachObject [this, [0,0,-20]];

If you want a real light you can attach a motorcycle.
I find it works better than the searchlight because at a steep angle the gunner jumps out but the motorcycle will go to near vertical.

How to:-

Select the UH-1Y and name it

heli

without quotes then in Init box put

bike attachto[heli,[0,-1,0]];

Next place a trigger and replace the "this" command with "true" no quoets, set min,mid and max to 2, in the On Act box put

bike setvectorUp[0,1,0.4];deleteCollection bike

That's all there is to it, you won't even see the bike.

THANKS A LOT " F2kSel " !!! :cheers

I've also found out that you can use an empty vehicle and turn the lights on using

this action ["lightOn",  Car]

placed in a game logic or trigger but not in the unit it's self, the vehicle should be named car.
Using a HMMWV gives a better light than the motorcycle.
