Mag375 10 Posted April 23, 2015 Hi all, I try to put units in buildings in Arma3 after watching this video on youtube In the video you see Jester814 point out to positions in the building and in his pointer he can see the distance to where he's pointing at, but also the position number. When I do the same thing as Jester814, I don't see the range to the pointed position or the number off that position, so it gets really hard to get the units in the right position without going back and forth between editor and preview to see in what position te unit is placed. I've searched the internet but just can't find the right answer :( How do I get this valuable information in my pointer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mag375 10 Posted April 23, 2015 Yes, thats what I do al the time to bring up the pointer, but it doesn't give "meters to object" or a "position number" to the position I'm pointing at. It only shows the pointer and next to the pointer it say's "Military Offices" or if pointed at Military Cargo Post "Military Cargo Post". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EagleByte 40 Posted April 23, 2015 Just took this screenshot. That youtube video was filmed during the Alpha or Beta, which some things have changed since then. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=430595698 It is showing the positions properly.

Mmm thats strange... I just took this screenshot??? http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198122422249/screenshots/ And after that I went back to the editor to check the other 4 test missions I've created, and there is only one mission where I can see the positions in a building and that was the first mission I created... So after that it went wrong I guess. Also when I create a new mission now I don't see the positions? Edited April 23, 2015 by Mag375 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
