How to make missions?

Recommended Posts

Since playing all flashpoint campaigns and downloading countless missions on ofp I wanted to learn how to do the mission editing, but could never really get my head around it. Now I got AA i really want to make my own missions, yet i don't know how to edit config files script files or know how to use the mission editor. Are there any tutorials or programs to help you do it? also anyone that does do mission editing, how do you find it starting out. Was it hard, did it take a while to get used to or did it click after 20 minutes?

Edit: I just realised i posted this in the wrong section so can someone put this in the right place. Sorry for this

Click the report-to-moderator button and let a mod know, I guess.

As to mission editing, it's a whole science, and there aren't THAT many tutorials and stuff on specific ArmA editing yet, but if you check my sig (that's www.ofpec.com these days, of course) you'll find a lot of useful stuff : editing in OFP and ArmA is nearly identical, so read up on the ofp tutorials and you should be just fine for the basics. Any more questions etc. just post and you'll be answered smile_o.gif

Good luck, and welcome to ArmA editing!

Yes, learn the editor itself before you go onto the more complex stuff.

www.OFPEC.com is your friend smile_o.gif

Use the tutorials they supply (they are for OFP but its basically the same for ArmA) play around in the editor, start simple, learn some basics, keep playing around and try out new things. If it doesnt work, dont get frustrated just keep trying, ask for help on the Mission Editing forum or something like that. =)

When you want to start going a bit more complex with configs and scripts, take a look at other people's premade scripts first, take a look at how they're made, make sure you know how to implement them into your missions, then learn some basic commands and use the biki to find new ones etc. Then branch out into more advanced stuff =)

I'm also a noob editor and thats the route i've followed, i released my first map, ive learnt a lot just from making that one map and so just fiddle around and you'll be surprised how easy it is if you just have some patience with yourself! biggrin_o.gif
