Need help inserting buildings

[SandMan13 10]

So I want to insert some buildings into the map for ARMA II. I'm using this to find names of buildings and what not.

http://www.armatechsquad.com/ArmA2Class151656165165341654165165165165f/index.php

How would I go about adding them into the mission editor? Also would it be the same if I wanted to add compositions (under objects)?

I`m not sure if there is an editorupdate addon which makes the buildings avaiable in the editor.. but you can place e.g. an Helicopter H an replace it in texteditor with the name of the building (e.g. Land_HouseV_1I4)...

:rolleyes:

what am I supposed to be putting in the text? like this="landhouse etc.."?

The way I'm using it to place objects like that on my mission is as follows:

Castle.sqf

if(isServer)then{
// Castle
_castle = "Land_A_Castle_Bergfrit" createVehicle (position castle);

// Stairs
_stairs = "Land_A_Castle_Stairs_A" createVehicle (position stairs);

// Walls
_castlewall = "Land_A_Castle_Wall2_30" createVehicle (position castlewall);
_castlewall2 = "Land_A_Castle_Wall2_End" createVehicle (position castlewall2);
};

With a Game logic named castle, stairs, castlewall, castlewall2 in the map to tell it where I want them.

I just don't know how to rotate them. >_<

Shouldn't that be used in conjunction with modelToWorld? And I can't belive that there isn't a way to set the azimut of an object ... :)

Ooh, I do have this that might be useful for you.

; ** Replace one object with another object.  Used to place

; **
; ** example call:  
; **     [this, "Camera1", "cam1"] exec "replace_object.sqs";
; **
; ** Parameter 1: Object to replace.  I like barrel objects as place holders.
; ** Parameter 2: Object Type of object of new object to create.
; ** Parameter 3: Object name of new object, so you can reference this object
; **              in your other scripts.  Place your desired name in this variable
; **              instead of naming the placeholder object you placed in the editor.
