I guess the action would still be available for everyone. It's just who creates it that's decided in the code.

Thanks both. i wanted to do it with game default resources... @ Kendo: To be honest, I haven't tried the CE lite yet (I'm sorry...). I was too attracted by the idea to create my first OFP modification... I promise I'll try it asap.

Well?

I'm at the end of my first OFP scripting "project" - group members conjoin/disjoin (hey, stop laughing). I've got a little problem. Currently I can conjoin enemies too and when I actually did it, the enemy was in my squad and listened to my orders XD. However, the others seemed not to trust him and shot him dead. I want to know whether the east leader can conjoin only east soldiers and west only west. For this I thought I'd need an action for a soldier to appear only to others from his side.

Thanks. I (half) made some scripts to "enroll" or "dismiss" individual soldiers in and from the group. This way from a platoon, each of us - me and my friend, can pick who we like and exchange them ingame. Just now I'm working at when to appear and when not to appear the actions on the soldiers. I just wanted to know whether I could skip the scripting and do it by the means of the game itself.

Man, thanks, I know the color teams. So, I assume it's not possible what I want. How to explain it more clear... I play very much multiplayer so I want to have one officer (me) and to give a few soldiers to another soldier under my command; that sub-officer would be a friend. So, I get rid of few soldiers and my friend gets them to command them however he thinks appropriate. I've seen this in a single player mission (can't recall its name), where the group just split into 2 distinct groups. It's the mission in which you can't win and you get caught but not killed. Later on in that mission you watch through the binoculars and say: "Oh, my God! everybody's dead" and later - "don't shoot, don't shoot". But what am I doing? So the leader officer said "# follow #" and I had to stick with an officer's subordinate...

Regarding the tutorial 2 CTF, I'd like to know how to make the mission begin (intro) like any other mission by default: start in map with briefing and only after that start the actual game. Thanks. EDIT: It works now.

I ment if I can issue this kind of order: If I want 3 soldiers to follow let's say soldier2 so that I create a formation with its own leader and wherever I move the leader, the sub-group follows. Thanks.

I've looked trough the commands menu and couldn't find this. There should be somewhere... I think it's the corresponding for "commandFollow" in the script.

I said thanks so many times that I could add it to my sig

Thanks both of you. I thought that by executing an external file would be just like the code in that file was written in the init line of the calling object (like inline functions in C++ ) EDIT: It gives me an error: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">'_crate = _this select 0;|#|' error select:type object, expected array

I want to create a crate and fill in with exactly what I want, certain weapons and certain magazines. Apparently I'm not allowed because either the weapons don't appear, or other weapons appear, or errors occur. To be more precise, I have: 1. Weapon crates not containing weapons Crate_wpn_E.sqs which is execed from init line of a weapon crate east: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this AddWeaponCargo ["AK47",3]; this AddWeaponCargo ["HandGrenade",10]; this AddWeaponCargo ["RPGLauncher",2]; this AddWeaponCargo ["SVDDragunov",1]; this AddWeaponCargo ["SmokeShell",10]; this AddWeaponCargo ["SmokeShellGreen",10]; this AddWeaponCargo ["SmokeShellRed",10]; this AddWeaponCargo ["Pipebomb",10]; this AddWeaponCargo ["Timebomb",10]; this AddWeaponCargo ["Mine",10]; this AddWeaponCargo ["Binocular",3]; Instead, I find tokarev and skorpion! 2. Ammo crates not containing magazines The same thing happens with an ammo crate east that exec Crate_mag_E.sqs <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this AddMagazineCargo ["AK47",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["HandGrenade",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["RPGLauncher",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["SVDDragunov",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["Pipebomb",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["Timebomb",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["SmokeShell",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["SmokeShellGreen",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["SmokeShellRed",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["SkorpionMag",10]; this AddMagazineCargo ["BizonMag",10]; I find in it only hand grenades... 3. Error: this AddMagazineCargo ["G36aMag",10][#]; type bool, expected object This happens in several ammo crates that executes similar sqs. I've noticed that every error is related to the last line of corresponding file. In this case, I have: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this AddWeaponCargo ["G36A",1]; this AddMagazineCargo ["G36aMag",10]; in an ammo crate. Can I mix weapons and magazines in the same crate? Maybe it has to do with room in crate? I've read that if there's no room left in a vehicle, weapons / magazines are omitted. I thought it goes with the crates, too.

I get it. Thanks.

I and my friends like this mission - Capture The Flag on Everon. But I want to edit it. When I unpacked it with WinPBO, all the files are good except for the sqm, which when I open in notepad shows square-letters mixed with normal letters. Is it supposed to be coded, un-editable?

Sorry for dwelling on this matter Can I "bypass" the trigger method? I wouldn't like to make a trigger as large as the whole map. Couldn't I just put the code in the init.sqs? After all, I don't need a condition to trigger. I want to execute the addaction anyway. I'm zero at script syntax but I hope you know what I mean. Much like this : In the Init.sqs creating an action for an array. The array contains all men. If such an array doesn't exist by default, I would create it by naming every man like "100", "101", "102" ... "199", "200" or simply using their id's and then define the array not by its elements but by its properties - id range: "_x>99; _x<201" Then,<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> foreach (object _x) _action1 = _x addaction ("bla","bla.sqs") Again, I hope you know what I mean...
