Live Mission Editor?

[Double Doppler 10]

Hi, I have been playing ArmA 2 & Arrowhead for a long time and most of the time, I spend on playing RPGs on MP and with this fantastic feature, the Mission Editor. Now I usually get lost in the amount of choices available to the developer during mission editing and end up making my own short skirmishes and conflicts.

I sometimes start a battle by placing a squad of soldiers against another squad. And If my side wins I go back to the editor and delete the killed soldiers, and put more enemies or another objective at hand. Sort of like a live Campaign or mission. What would be really great would be if it had a live mission editor (where you could pause the game, add something or deduct just as if you were pre mission editing). A bit like in Operation Flashpoint 2, but better and more straightforward.

The mission editor is somewhat one of the best features in the game and it would be great if it could be extended to make live missions.

But something purley for SP, like in the menu and no need to host a server.

Like an option to use the ingame mission editor, but to go back to the editor and change things instead of "Abort"

I think the 3d editor is a higher priority right now, having to constantly preview your work to make sure everything is placed where you want it is simply tedious. Especially when placing things like planes onto the KhaShan when you can not even see the KhaShan on the 2d map of chernaraus.

I would like something of that nature added, It is very annoying when trying to place objects in the 2D editor and constantly adjusting their placement because you can't see it in 3D. They should add the 3D editing just like in the editor when you press Alt + E on the main menu, it has a 2D and 3D one where you can adjust object height and direction it faces.

Just because you're hosting it doesnt mean you cant host only on LAN and with a password so you're on your own.

And it lets you change things on the fly while the mission keeps running.

I'd try it.
