Mission editor

[Milkman 1]

hey, im kinda new to mission editor and I was wondering if there was a good FAQ out there to help me learn how to use the editor and it's functions. Can someone give me a website??

This belongs in ME and a very good site is:

OFPEC

Best thing to do is play around in it to learn the basics.

geeze, mission editing, I've been playing this game for 2 years and am still clueless when it comes to scripting. I'd need someone to be at my side and show me. There is just way too many variables, I may as well be learning advanced calculus.

moving to ME.

my suggestion is Johan Gustavson's editor tutorial, available in OFPEC.

I'm with cybrid. I can make a nicely layed out mission that plays out pretty well, but when it comes to scripting i might as well be staring at ..............yup drew a blank. same as me trying to learn to script.

wow this is alot more complicated than i thought, maybe i should just ask one question, how do you make units move?? I have the mission editor that comes with the game, but it seems to be missing alot because when i bought the gold upgrade, which came with a stratigy guide, the mission editor section had topics and selections that were not available on my editor. Is there something i need to download to complete my editor???

You need to place waypoints for them.

You do not need to download anything, you need to switch the mission editor from Simple to Advanced mode to see advanced options.
