Editing Bible.

[EBass 0]

Hey, I'm really trying to make a decent little short SP campaign, but I'm gonna need to know some basics about the editor. I used to script a bit in Op Flash, but those days are lonnnnnng gone and I've forgotten everything.

I've been searching around and I can't find an editing "Bible" anywhere. I've got a lot of questions and if I ask them all in different threads on the forum I'm gonna piss everyone off.

For example, in the first mission I've made I need to.

-Set a trigger to move with an individual.

-15 secs after that trigger is set off, change that individual status to hostile to OPFor.

- Have someone given a weapon when they reach a waypoint

- Make waypoints cyclical. (so an individual patrols round and round forever following waypoint order 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1 etc)

- When a trigger is set off an indivduals waypoint order is broken and he is given a new order.

- End Mission when inside a trigger AND objective has been met.

- Make people speak over radio and face to face.

- Make mission briefing etc and make objectives update ingame.

Exactly. Is there an editing referance bible somewhere where I can learn all these things for myself?

There is an ARMA bible you can download - ARMA Editor Guide

For example, in the first mission I've made I need to.

-Set a trigger to move with an individual.

Do a search, seen that in a recent thread here

-15 secs after that trigger is set off, change that individual status to hostile to OPFor.

- Have someone given a weapon when they reach a waypoint

- Make waypoints cyclical. (so an individual patrols round and round forever following waypoint order 1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,1 etc)

Waypont type - CYCLE as the last waypoint

- When a trigger is set off an indivduals waypoint order is broken and he is given a new order.

synchronise the trigger to a new move / other waypoint after the cycle waypoint. Hence they will cycle on patrol until the trigger switches on the new waypoint after cycle.

- End Mission when inside a trigger AND objective has been met.

Thread I had the same question with answer :D

- Make people speak over radio and face to face.

Do a search on Radio and speach, seen several threads covering these issues.

- Make mission briefing etc and make objectives update ingame.

Basic Briefing How To Thread

Hope that helps :)

It's made for A1 but most stuff still applies. An A2 version is in the works but probably wont be out for a while.

Thanks a lot

Or why not try out OFPEC's comprehensive and easy-to-use Beginner's tutorial? Sure it's for ArmA, but as far as I can tell it's 100% applicable to Arma 2 as well :)
