avibird 1 155 Posted July 17, 2016 Why can't I copy units triggers markers ect and just paste on a new map /mission like we could with the 2d editor. I can copy and paste on the same map/mission but if I open a new map/mission the paste function does not work why! This makes remaking a mission a pain in the ass.

Beerkan 71 Posted July 17, 2016 Press "M" to open 2D map. Highlight what you want and Ctrl-C to copy it. Open your other scenario, press "M" to open map again and Ctrl-V to paste. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankbuster 1747 Posted July 17, 2016 Works just fine for me. Did it two days ago when porting a mission from Altis to Tanoa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
claws01 22 Posted July 17, 2016 i think hes trying to copy from one mission to another mission 3d , u going need to save as " SAVE CUSTOM COMPOSITION" voila Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 17, 2016 i think hes trying to copy from one mission to another mission 3d , u going need to save as " SAVE CUSTOM COMPOSITION" voila Drag a box around things in the 3D view and press Ctrl-C. Or ctrl-click on things under the Entities list then press Ctrl-C. Scenario, New, pick your map, Ctrl-V and objects and whatever you copied from the previous map are pasted.

avibird 1 155 Posted July 18, 2016 I am sorry you can just copy from one mission and paste to a new mission like we did in the 2D editor unless I'm missing something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 155 Posted July 18, 2016 How do you save CUSTOM COMPOSITION I don't see the option in the 3D editor. Why why would they take that away from Scenario to scenario. It still works control C ctrl-V on the same mission but not from one mission to a new one!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 18, 2016 Of course you can, I just explained how. :) You don't need to create a composition to copy from one mission to another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avibird 1 155 Posted July 18, 2016 I see now how to use the composition function it is pretty cool but still has some draw backs then the whole copy and paste from the 2D editor. No waypoints will be copied and the exact placement of multiple units and objects are far harder now than before. But it does have some nice features and easy to use (: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
