Copy and paste playable units?

[bigstone 48]

Hi I know about ctrl c and ctrl v, but how about wanting to copy a whole squad that I manually made playable, with out having to manually make the new ctrl v'd squad playable? Is there a way around this? In VBS2 when I copy and paste a playable unit, the new unit is still playable(not having to manually go in each unit to make them playable)...:confused:

I believe if you do the copy and paste directly from the mission.sqm it works, but that can be tedious if you don't know what you are doing. Is double clicking and then clicking Playable a few times really a trouble?

Not really, but making a 120 troops playable maybe.... Oh well I thought there was a way around this. Thank you for your reply.

120 players? Whatever for? :)

Just place them all then Find/Replace in the mission.sqm to make them playable.

OK will do thanks.

Alternative is to merge them in from another mission (so find the mission with your 120 playable units, nuke everything else, then merge into your new mission).

Best way is to edit the sqm file and replace the flag for playable ;)

I've reported this wanted feature on DevHeaven, but so far no success.
