ME Laser Code Assignment Question

[GeoS72]

Hello all! I'm very new in the ED forums and still trying to absorb alot of info. After some searching, I have one question to ask:

 

Is it possible to assign a laser code in the mission editor or add it to a lua file?

 

For example, I'd like to assign a different laser code other than the default, 1688. I'm ok with a player entering the code for an LMAV or LGB when rolling onto a target. However, I'd like to set the LANTIRN pod/FLIR/TGP or JTAC/FAC/AFAC code to something else, say 1700, as part of the mission brief. Basically, resetting the default code from 1688 to a different value.

 

Would the resident experts kindly refer me to more relevant threads or help me navigate through the vast sea of information?

 

All I've seen thus far are problems with changing laser codes for weapon employment during a mission.

 

Thanks in advance!

Gotta use the scripting engine to create a lase point. The AI and JTAC will always use 1688. Though there is a request for that to be changed.
