Question about AI

[DNP 10]

Im new to the arma 2 editor, and im making a simple mission. I have made plenty of playable characters, but all of those players, when not taken by a player, appear as AI. My question is, how can i make the playable character not exist unless its being played by a player.

Make a description.ext file in the mission folder and place this code within:

disabledAI = true;

save and restart your mission.

doesnt seem to have worked, i must have done something wrong

This is a download link to a description.ext file with that code in it, replace yours with mine. http://www.mediafire.com/?tbe4mf6yc67u7y7

odd, sorry about this. i just started with the editor yesterday. is there a specific setting i need to have for the playable character? here is the setting i have for them now: BLUFOR>USMC>Men>Playable>2 Hours>Default>Colonel>Crewman>None

You just need the playable characters to be placed. You just download that file I posted and paste it in your missions folder which would look something like this. C:\Users\User\Documents\ArmA 2 Other Profiles\Kar\missions\missionname.Chernarus
