Ahh Will try that now, cheers BTW im also going through JohanGustafssonsScriptingTutorial2ndedition from opf that should help me understand more about scripting.

Ok just one more question with regards to unit creation because i cannot find any info. How do you make an enemy tank that has its driver, gunner etc. I have been told to create the units then have them get in the tank. I find this hard because the tank has been created and has no name. Thanks for any help.

Will this manual be ok for arma2 or will you be doing an update, I would like to buy the hardback version but if you going to update I will wait for then.

Ah i see, thanks i will try that now  Just done that works a treat, many thanks BTW what would you have to do to make it enemy with driver etc..

Go on reading on page 125 below the script lines... everything is explained there about the partys and how become the enemy against each other. Feel a bit stupid, sorry for not reading further. It all works fine. It seems quite simple now, thanks for your help

Just to let you know it worked a treat, it was the name of the script that i was doing wrong. Just realized that the generated troops dont attack or defend themselves?

Thanks for your help (Much more than i expected). I am going to look at your sample mission now, but you have explained some things that i was not sure about. Will let you know how i get on Many thanks

Just a quick question. Im new to scripting but i am trying to learn. It might be obvious but not to me. on page 124 about generating groups. Where does it go?, what sort of file is it? I made marker on map but have no idea where to put the lines of script you have in the box. Anyway thanks for any help BTW it is a good book and I have learned a lot, just some things are not laid out for dummies lol

Hi all, Just as title says im trying to locate the script for deploying MHQ within the mission files? Can anybody help, Thanks in advance

I would say that it was more a learning curve, maybe without making arma, arma2 might not have been developed the way it has. Anyway I loved ofp but I also love playing arma (after the bug fixes) And now I am ready for ARMA2

Great shots, now im going to get some sleeping pills and go to sleep until it gets released lol.

think it is being updated now..

@Placebo, did they ever properly release xp 64. I remember they did a free trial that lasted so many months. I liked it but i remember having lots of other issues with drivers for certain hardware thats why i went back to xp32bit. But i suppose now that would not be an issue, just that i have never seen it for sale

Look at the recomended system specs. lol Windows 95/98/ME or 2000 Intel Pentium III 600 CPU or better 128Mb RAM 450Mb Hard Disk Space 16 bit DirectX compatible soundcard 24X Speed CD-ROM Drive Compatible 3D graphics card with 32Mb RAM

Wow just found this thread, what memories! You dont realise how much it has developed over the years even though i still got all original copies. Have not played on flashpoint since just before armed assault was due to be released. I was on holiday in kent when i first saw flashpoint. We were staying with friends and playing on delta force one evening. I noticeded this game on one side called flashpoint. I ask my friend what it was like, which he told me that it has just come out but he did not like it because it was too complex and carried on playing delta force. Anyway later when he had done with the pc i thought i would have a look at it. Wow just could not believe it i was hooked and as soon as we got home I bought it. Many months later my friend did get in to it and we played on line together for many years. Â Had to laugh when i looked at the original first flaspoint trailer the troops walking around like they had accident in there pants. never noticed that when i played it lol

Problem sorted

Tried both waco and afgan with 117 both great maps. Doomguy the ai is fantastic now. Thanks for great work

Thanks, will try it now

Hi all, How do you get a trigger to show a marker on the map once activated?

Just had a go, I like it cheers

Hi all. I am working on a new game mode mainly for arma2 but i want to try and get some things sorted now. I dont know much about sripting so I am on a huge learning curve with this. The reason I am doing it is because I have a lot of ideas but I dont think its fair to try and get somebody else to do it for me but some help along the way would be great and more than welcome.. It is a similar idea to xenos domination with some elements of warfare to make it more dynamic. I am trying to get fuel truck and ammo truck to unload their contents into a fuel dump and an ammo dump when the ai driver reaches them...

OK I can see that there is not much intrest in this but it is something that i will still pursue myself as I feel it would give a more realistic feel to to the full scale war. I have thought about using warfare as a template. Does anybody know how difficult it would be to remove all money from warfare and replaceing it with wait time?

I think they should show the game as it is because it looks quite stunning. This would mean showing as much footage of game play etc as possible. TV adverts are really expensive but its probably the best way to show it graphicaly. Like you I have played bis games since opf came out and I know people that bought arma when it came out. They played for a few weeks then packed it in. It did have lots of faults but as it is now, its good, I have been showing some of those people the latest videos of Arma2 and they seem impressed with a definate intention to buy it. So I do think its a matter of getting it shown and maybe not mention Arma lol

SWEET codemaster, "leave it to the creators"

Good idea, are you able to make this happen?
