Milkman 1 Posted January 9, 2003 I searched but i cant seem to find out how to tell a soldier with satchel charges to move to a point, plant a bomb, move again and plant another bomb, and then set them off when a vehicle moves over one of the charges. Can anyone help me out?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kermit 0 Posted January 10, 2003 The following rant is not talking about this particular search, as it appears to have been a half-hearted stab. However, I cannot think of a better place to address the issue. Whenever someone posts something that has been discussed several times before, it is automatically assumed that they did not search, or that they searched for thirty seconds and then gave up. However, the truth is that a search usually yields many things that are closely related to the problem at hand but which do not help to solve the actual problem. I speak from experience. I myself have been irritated (although not at this forum) when someone posts a thread which is a repeat of many previous topics that have been discussed to death and can be easily found with a two minute search. However, especially with something as specific as scripting, you cannot expect a general principle to provide the answer a specific problem. I have spent an average of half an hour per problem searching here under different words for answers to my various problems. I grow weary of wading through pages of threads that have little to do with my problem, so I make my search more specific, which gets me no results whatsoever. Then I post a thread, and am told to search. Now, I do not blame those who want people to search before posting. However, they must realize that often they do search, sometimes extensively! I do not have time for wading through bullshit. Mission editing is time-consuming enough without wasting a full sixth of one's free time for the day. Yet some people (although I will not say most) seem to be very grudging about giving out information, especially if they have given it already to someone else. It just isn't right.

Mr B 0 Posted January 10, 2003 Here here! I agree with thee Kermit. Whilst I agree with reminding people to search before asking repeated questions, sometimes the replies from board members to search are quite rude. Yes, they can be helpful sometimes, as in this case, but I would prefer that on other occasions people either posted something helpful, or didn't post at all. Just my 2 cents. Cheers Mr B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
