Wiki 1558 Posted April 21, 2014 Got a question to BIS dev: why aren't ALL the objects available in the editor? We can use some object - provided we know their classnames first - but they're NOT available in the editor. How come? Why aren't they? It would be much simplier to have them in it instead of chagin the name of an object in the mission.sqm file, or put it in the init line to change. So, do you plan to add them ALL in the editor or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harzach 2507 Posted April 21, 2014 Don't count on it. Use CJTF101 Editor to gain editor access to most, if not all, objects. Bonus: it does not add a mod requirement to your missions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted April 21, 2014 I thought of this too. As BIS stated it is a Military Sandbox... adding the word Sandbox, to me would indicate being able to use 99% if not all the objects to create my own immersive scenario, however, that is not the case. Matter a fact yesterday, i couldn't find concrete ramps, or lamps, which ticked me off actually. I also didn't feel like getting a mod to do that job for me so i left it at that. BIS really needs to add in ALL the objects. (Maybe exclude buildings such as houses, but still most if not ALL). ---------- Post added at 23:21 ---------- Previous post was at 23:20 ---------- Don't count on it.

Don't be so pessimistic, if people favor it, BIS is more than likely to add it, with the exception of it being reasonable to have... and this is exactly reasonable to have. They had almost all the important things in Arma 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had almost all the important things in Arma 2. They removed them for a reason, just like they made certain map objects non-interactable (via object ID, I mean). We lived through all of this with Arma 2, and there's no reason to believe it will change in Arma 3. By all means, submit a ticket, but in the meantime there is a community solution in place. There is no reason not to use it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the_demongod 31 Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah I was shocked with how many items you could place while playing as zeus, it really surprised me that you couldn't place them using the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted April 22, 2014 Yeah I was shocked with how many items you could place while playing as zeus, it really surprised me that you couldn't place them using the editor. ^This^ I will use the community way to compensate for the loss of ability to place objects, however, Demongod has a point. If it's possible to place those items in Zeus... Why not editor? The Editor is by no means different from Zeus, only Zeus is 3D and live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Old Man 3540 Posted April 22, 2014 No idea about that either. It looks like Zeus got all the stuff people were requesting for the 2d editor for a long time to no avail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was stated by a Dev: now I am not at home neither i remember it. I'll post it later. I agreewith the Op anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While i agree with using command lines occasionally, I think the point here is having all things available in vanilla editor, without the use of such scripts, so everyone can locate and use them with seamless ease.

[evo] dan 79 Posted April 22, 2014 Did they add HMS Proteus as a placeable object or does it still need spawning? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
