Creating stones and plants with createvehicle?

[roguetrooper 2]

Is it possible to spawn rocks and plants (esp. trees) with createvehicle?

If yes, does anybody know the classnames of them? I haven't seen any on http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA2:_CfgVehicles

Your going to want to UN-PBO the plants_e in your main game directory. There you will find "p3d" files. But what your looking for is the config, there you will find class names.

Thanks. But could anyone give me more detailed instructions?

I have downloaded a PBO-viewer for Arma 1 (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=1434). It cannot open all pbo's of Arma 2, but I haven't found one for Arma 2 yet.

However, I opened the file \Addons\plants2_Tree.pbo. It shows up a list

[Data]

t_acer2s.p3d

t_alnus2s.p3d

...

Nowhere I could find a config.

Placing a logic and putting into its init line

plant1 = createVehicle ["t_fagus2s", position this, [], 0, "NONE"];

does NOT work, of course.

I can't imagine that there is not more interest in such objects. Why is it so hard to find lists of plants/classnames? Why doesn't BIS publish them together with all the other classnames in their wiki?

Can anyone please recommend a good and easy pbo-viewer for Arma 2 ? The tools of http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BI_Tools_2 are really cryptic and I even don't know, whether its pbo-stuff can be used for my purpose.

Ive tried looking for classnames to plants/rocks/trees before. Unfortunatly they do not have a proper classlist configured for them, therefore they are unaccessible in game. Unless you were to write a config for them and compile the class for them yourself, theres no way to actually manipulate, create, or edit these objects in a mission.

Hopefully they will compile one in arma 3.
