Smoke markers. How do I set them up?

[davebert]

I watched a grim reaper video where 2 guys were flying SU-25t's and testing all the weapons. At one point one of the guys said he was going to mark a target for the other guy to hit and a plume of blue smoke appeared. How is that done?

Thanks.

It can be done with "Combined Arms" if you have it. In the F10 map you select a vehicle and click the tank icon, then press "B", point and press 1-3 to release smoke.

 

 

Also you can load WP rockets.

 

 

EDIT: sorry didn't read this was the mission editor thread.

This is how you can set up a continous smoke on a zone

In the mission start you put nothing on the condition and in actions flag on (1).

 

 

It will smoke the zone every 240 seconds.

 

 

Or you can add a radio item which triggers once and increase the flag 1 by 1, you need to change the time since flag to 1 second instead of 240, then you can use the radio menu and it will smoke the zone everytime you use this action.

Thanks ignition, I will try this out and see how it goes. For now I just added large smoke markers as visual guides to the targets.
