Waypoints

Recommended Posts

Hi there,

I recently downloaded the demo for operation arrowhead and have been trying to create my own missions. The game is really fun and im probably going to buy it in about 2 weeks. One question that I had though was that when I set a waypoint for my team on the editor, my team does not go to the waypoint in game. I also set a waypoint for enemy team to simulate reinforcements and it takes forever for the reinforcements to arrive. Even when they do arrive, they dont all arrive at once. I was also curious on how to get the pilot of a helicopter to take off if you are a passenger. How can you also specify what units you want to disembark. Whenever I click disembark, every member on my team disembarks. One of the biggest problems I run into is trying to get ai into vehicles. I can never get my teamates to board another chopper adjacent to the one that I'm in so that I have two choppers in the air, one that im in with other ai units, and one that is completely ai. THis is the same for the enemy. I try to place enemy helicopters and units or enemy helicopters and trucks, but I cannot get the enemies to get into these vehicles and head to a certain waypoint. Sorry for the length of this. I really enjoy the game but as you can see, im a beginner and have alot of questions.

Hi and welcome

you posted in the wrong forum section and therefore the probability to get a solution for your issues are really minimal. This belongs in the ARMA II mission editing section. Ask a mod to move your thread and you'll see that someone will reply.

AFAIK the AI has issues if the waypoint behavoiur is set to danger. A recent Beta seemed to have resolved this issue, then someone reported back that with the last beta the issue wasn't solved or brought back.

In any case read in the mission editor section threads relating to the keyword waypoints or better do a search first. Most issues have been asked a million times over here. Read the sticky threads there are all full of links to learn how to use the editor.

In this forum the search button will be your first and best friend.:D Only in case after you searched and you still couldn't find an answer to your problem, only in that case open a new thread. That's how it is handled here. In case you haven't read the forum rules please do so. It is important. This forum is great because the rules are followed and the forum is strictly ruled by the mods.

In any case read the stickys and also everything linked there. It will take you some time, but the more you learn the better you understand the endless possibilities this game offers.

kind regards

p.s. Search for Mr. Murrays editing guide. It was written for Armed Assault but all commands or most commands are also valid for Arma II
