Is there an easy way to create bases in the editor?

[soupdragon 10]

I want to create a base in a mission I am making for myself. Do I have to place each object individually in order to create it or is there an easier way? I see them generated by the SecOps module but I want a permenant base placed down. Also If I do have to create it by manually creating the base, is there a way to save the finished base as a template that I can import into future missions?

Sorry if this seems to be a bit of a dull question but I am sort of new to the editor and I am trying to find my way around it.

Cheers

use this..........you place down a game logic and put this in its field

newObjs = [getPos this, random 0, "cityBase04"] call (compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "ca\modules\dyno\data\scripts\objectMapper.sqf"));

and you can replace "citybase04" with any of these

SmallBase

CityBase01

CityBase02

CityBase04

BunkerMedium01

BunkerMedium02

BunkerMedium03

BunkerMedium04

BunkerMedium05

BunkerMedium06

BunkerMedium07

BunkerMedium08

BunkerMedium09

How do you get that working with OA only? The DynO module in OA only has new compositions, but not the objectmapper and I can't seem to get the path correct. :(

Works fine for me in OA well after I noticed the extra space that gets added after the .sqf for some reason.

Thanks Guys. I'm off to try it now :)

Also why not give the base some defenders

Create some units grouped and put this in a groups init

grp1=group this; [grp1,getpos logicname] call BIS_fnc_taskDefend;

Use the game logic that was used to spawn the base but now give it a name and use that name in the code.

The defenders will move to positions in and around the base and sometimes man any static machine guns.

Is there an area to see the above class names as photos so you dont have to go in an out of the editor to see which one your picking? and will it spawn the same way in terms of Azmut and spacing so you can add to exsisting bases?

check out the link for arma2 compositions, they don't seem to have any pictures foe OA though. Maybe they are the same.

I think it does spawn in the same place as long as you don't change direction in code.
