Description
Road flare script featuring a chemlight tweak which can be enabled or disabled via a public variable.
Flares' lifetime, brightness and range are customizable via script parameters.
For more info watch the video tutorial.

If you want to have an object placed in editor work as road flare place this in its init field:
null=[[[this],"AL_roadflare\static_flare.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM",true,true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

Video tutorial:

Demo mission on ALTIS. Tested on dedicated.
You can run the script from init.sqf, a trigger or another script.
Un-pbo the mission and read the comments or watch the video tutorial for more information.

Yeah, thought so too. Will use RemoteExec
ALIAScartoons  [author] 16 Dec, 2019 @ 2:35am 
@Anfo
Both should work, however the one with BIS_fnc_MP might stop working at some point, far as i know on BIS' book that command is obsolete

Hi Alias
Can you confirm please, in init of object placed in editor, do we use:

null=[[this,"static"],"AL_roadflare\static_flare.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM",0,true];

Or..

null=[[[this],"AL_roadflare\static_flare.sqf"],"BIS_fnc_execVM",true,true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;

One is listed Steam workshop, the other in ini_roadflare.sqf

@GrannyMan
Yeah, is the EH, you need to double check the classname you used for flares, the script should trigger only when you use those chemlights or whatever you set up to work as road lfares

Hey Alias, I get an error with this script every time I shoot a gun.
\AL_roadflare\static_flare.sqf, line 90?
Error undefined variable in expression: _culoare_elem
and
\AL_roadflare\al_roadflare_effect.sqf, line 156
Error undefined variable in expression: _culoare_elem

Any idea what could be causing this?

Thanks for the advice, have replaced the RHS objects with 1m texture objects and haven't seen errors since.
ALIAScartoons  [author] 11 Oct, 2018 @ 3:36am 
@Anfo
If the class name for object you use is correct that shouldn't be the problem. Could be that the object you use to throw is deleted very fast and something else is placed instead, i don't know how flares in RHS work. Do you have same issue if you use another object?
Anfo 11 Oct, 2018 @ 2:44am 
Alias, although there is every chance I have implemented something incorrectly, I still get these script errors which mean when I run a mission from Eden sometimes the flares work, sometime they don't:

Any thoughts? Could it be the object I've chosen to be the 'flare'?
"rhs_weapon_rsp30_red"

@Anfo
In theory there is no limit, tho i never tested it but should work fine.
Anfo 9 Oct, 2018 @ 1:06am 
@alias
Is there a maximum <al_Roadflare_lifetime> that I cannot exceed? Is 7200 too high?
