Editor - Zoom level issue??

[meade95 0]

When in the editor and looking to create a new mission. I can't seem to get the "zoom" level to go anywhere but toward the center of the map.

Say, I place unit toward the left side of the map....I can't zoom in (over toward that side of the map....when I zoom it...the zoom only goes toward the center thus leaving the units I'm working with out of view).

Is there a function that allows you to zoom in right on your units placed (when in the editor?). I haven't had this problem up until now?

Seems odd..

Never heard of that one before. And restarting Arma2 or a reboot didn't help? It should zoom into wherever your mouse pointer is. Other than that, right mouse drag to pan around.

I can right click drag the map around....up and down, right and left....(as should be). But it seems if you place a unit say all the way to the left side of the map (Main Chernarus, map )......when I go to zoom it....it zooms to the center of the map....Not down over my unit placed?

Ahh, yes. You can't zoom in beyond the "borders" of the map. That's normal behavior.

I once tried to drag my base outside the map borders and weird things started happening, like my flagpole actions were not accessible and other strange things.

Yeah, off map is kind of off limits :) Fills up .rpt with "out of planning....." stuffs, and can be a tough nut to fight sometimes.

In a way, I always prefered the Island idea of the old maps
