 The script can also be useful in daylight by enabling the JTAC to mark enemy positions with Smoke. The JTAC will only move the smoke to the target every 5 minutes (to stop a huge trail of smoke markers) unless the target is destroyed, in which case the new target will be marked straight away with smoke. There is also an F10 menu option for units allowing the JTAC(s) to report their current status but if a JTAC is down it won't report in.
 
+The smoke will be offset from the target by the distances declared in the `ctld.JTAC_smokeOffset_*` constants.

 To add JTACS to the mission using the editor place a JTAC unit on the map putting each JTAC in it's own group containing only itself and no
 other units. Name the group something easy to remember e.g. JTAC1 and make sure the JTAC units have a unique name which must
 not be the same as the group name. The editor should do this for you but be careful if you copy and paste.
