Deleting units/waypoints once created

Recommended Posts

I'm just learning the Editor and I'm covering my tracks by saving the mission under different names as I progress so that If I create a unit/waypoint/object in error or think better of it, I can load a previous save. This seems very clunky, however. Surely there is an option to delete a unit/waypoint/object?

If this involves scripting, with apologies for my ignorance, can you tell me how to do the above via a script? I know nothing about scripts ATM but am a fast learner.

Finally, slightly off-topic, can you tell me how to point an entire squad in a different direction once it has been created?

Many thanks, guys.

To delete objects etc:

Hold mouse pointer over object and when you can see its name press Del/Delete key.

To turn objections direction:

Hold down shift and press and hold down left mouse button on object and drag.

To turn a entire groups direction:

Hold down shift and left click on one of the units in the group, keep holding shift down. Now press and hold down left mouse button on one of the units and drag.

I'm a little confused now, are you trying to do this in the editor or ingame?

deleteVehicle Name

with that code you can delete everything what have a name.

edit : ah ok inside editor...

ok you can delete more marked objects with pressed "shift" + "del" button also.

mark objects:

press ctrl (strg) button and choose different objects by left mouse button.

unmark one object same way.

Thanks, guys. I need some very basic tuition in scripting. I'm working in the Editor. I've done OK, having organised a helo pick up and insertion but it's hard going at the moment, lots of trail and error. And, as I say, I know nothing about how to write and enter the simplest scripts.
