Post Controlling actors
Is it possible to make an actor do something specific using Lua? I'm interested in making an actor aim at the certain angle and then fire it's weapons at certain time. AFAIK aiming is not difficult but what about actually firing? Should I mess with Controller class to do that?

Thanx in advance

I'm quite sure there was either a function for it or a boolean that could be checked to true which meant that the actor would fire either this or the next sim update.

You are looking for this:

Code:
actor:SetAimAngle(*Insert angle here*);


and this:

Code:
actor:GetController():SetState(Controller.WEAPON_FIRE,true);

I would set the InputMode to network mode before operating to null out the AI features, as disabled still has a few AI features.
