You can add weapons to a vehicle, but how do you edit say, the helicopters flare function? Or even add the flare function to a car.
 
Try this. Works to add flares to hummingbird in Arma3. Might work .. you will have to replace with arma2 magazine and flare launcher name. You can get the name of it from a heli that has it with the weapons command

Code:
vehname addMagazine "60Rnd_CMFlare_Chaff_Magazine";
vehname addWeapon "CMFlareLauncher";

For the biplane this is what was used to add M240s to them. The code is pasted into the server_monitor.sqf server side somewhere in the initialization of vehicles.

Code:
           if (_object isKindOf "AN2_DZ") then {
                      _object addWeapon "M240_veh";
                      _object addMagazine "100Rnd_762x51_M240";
                      _object addMagazine "100Rnd_762x51_M240";
                      _object addMagazine "100Rnd_762x51_M240";
            };
 
yes thanks inkko, I'm familiar with how to arm the vehicles. But how does this code look for having vehicles spawn in the database with these attachto commands.

_object addWeapon "M1014_DZ";
_object addMagazine "8Rnd_12Gauge_Buck";
_fence = createVehicle ["Fence_corrugated_plate"];
_fence attachTo [_object, [1.2,0,.0], ""];
_fence setVectorDirAndUp [[1,0,0],[0,0,-1]];
_fence2 = createVehicle ["Fence_corrugated_plate"];
_fence2 attachTo [_object, [-.6,0,.0], ""];
_fence2 setVectorDirAndUp [[1,0,0],[0,0,-1]];
_fence3 = createVehicle ["Land_Fire_barrel_burning"];
_fence3 attachTo [_object, [0,0,0], ""];

That looks like the "_object" which I assume is a vehicle would have a 1014 and ammo added to the inventory of the vehicle since it isn't a vehicle weapon and then would have fences/barrel attached to the "_object". I believe if you want the vehicle to be firing a weapon it has to be a vehicle class weapon.
