difference

command Source Target Behavior Workaround templets
fire Either Unit or manned vehicle N/A Fired aiming at air for infantry rifle Together with selectWeapon,

suggested to work with "throw","put" weapon type for infantry, or vehicle entity indeed.

fireAtTarget Manned vehicle only Any object Normal shoot, won’t aim at target automatically _veh doWatch _target;

waitUntil {_veh aimedAtTarget [_target] > 0}; _veh fireAtTarget [_target];

forceWeaponFire Either Unit or manned aircraft (weapon operator) N/A Normal shoot, can change fire mode //E.g. unit won't shoot until he is facing the target.

   _relative = [_unit,_tar] call BIS_fnc_relativeDirTo;
   if (_dir == _relative) exitWith {

   };
   false

doFire Unit only Either unit or vehicle automatic aiming and shooting No special example.
