There already have been topics on this issue.<span id='postcolor'> Negative ghostrider! I've tried searching for "drop command, drop command, drop AND command, etc. and STILL I get nothing of use in return. next suggestion?

You got me with the whole "drop command" thing my friend. Would you (or anyone else) care to elaborate a little?

Thats the thing my friend...I can't seem to GROUP(f2) an empty object with an east or west soldier nor vice versa... I'll try what you mentioned and see what happened.. if it works, a case of beer for you!

Greetings (again), What I'd like to do is put a VIETNAM-ERA WEST unit in a mounted M60, Mortar AND/OR Artillery piece (I need to change the soldiers since the woodland camoflage soldiers they come with really don't fit the era). I'm just wondering if its possible to remove the soldier that these pieces come with and put my own in there, OR group a WEST unit to an EMPTY object (i.e. a mortar, helicopter, tank, boat, etc)?? If it IS possible, then how is it done (with as much detail as possible please). Thanks again guys.

Thanks again brother.

Ok, I'm at the end of my rope!! I've tried EVERY WHICH WAY to have TWO simultaneous helo drops from two different choppers using the "alphaexit" script!! Â I have two seperate infantry groups (named L1 and L2) each in its own chopper (helo1 and helo2) I'm utilizing the heloname domove getpos.... trigger for them to find me (each chopper has its own), and "alphaexit" trigger (again, each chopper has its own) being activated by my radio once the choppers find me and are flying overhead. But I CANNOT get them both to drop no matter WHAT I do! Only ONE chopper drops its load, and the other group stays safely inside theirs while the just-dropped troops die in battle. Is there ANY WAY to get them both to drop their loads at the same time?! I started this whole mess by trying a multi-unit (24 men) to jump from one Chinook, but that was a brick wall as well. Anyone?

4C3 you're my new best friend. thanks bud!

Everytime I switch a unit's weapons, and add magazines to go with their new weapons, they DON'T reload their weapons to be ready to fire. Whats up?!

Actually, the addmagazine BEFORE addweapon is the magic ticket! It works! Thanks guys!

Actually, thats not that bad...I'll be putting a few bloody soldiers and civilians hanging from trees in that fashion in a few of the small Vietnamese villages in the Ia Trang map! There are a few new animations that would lend themselves to this kind of hanging.

I tried playmove "ParaDead" and wanted to see if it was possible to attach a rope around his neck as if he was hanging from a tree (Those VC were pretty bad dudes). Also, is there a way of placing a chopper on its side (as in after a crash)? Thanks

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem... When I double click on the OFP icon in desktop, the startup goes through the regular four startup screens (CodeMasters, Bohemia Interactive, OFP and another screen), then it just kicks back to my desktop screen. Once I do it again (double click the OFP icon) then it starts up properly. Whats up?! Also, there are times when I'm in mission editor doing my hing and CLICK!!! the game kicks me off and makes the computer reboot!

yeah, that happens to me too...I wonder why.

Wadi, you want an idea for a FRESH mission? How about a mission having to do with Cuba? Untouched bastion of Communism in the Western Hemisphere. You have a blank slate for different ideas; Invasion, Liberation, Assasination, Drug Interdiction, Missile destruction/dismantling, etc... Tropical island (we already have the jungle islands), Communist forces (we already have a multitude of Soviet/Russian addons), Missiles (we have Scuds), etc... All you'd need is to create a character in the likeness of Castro for assasination plots or cinematics (I don't think he looks too much different than Guba (except for the uniform)). you can have patrol boats, commie gaurds, farms, etc......

Yes Junker..exactly like that but with visible rope. Anyway, I thank you gents for the help...I'll post any pictures if I solve this riddle.

Try adding the -nosplash switch to the command-line for the shortcut, and try Alt-Tabbing to OFP if you are taken back to the Desktop after double-clicking the shortcut. You'll have to provide more information about your system to get help with the second problem.<span id='postcolor'> Thanks frag. About my system, I'm thiking it has t so more with the stuff I've downloaded...my system is a 1.7GHz, pentium 4, Hewlett packard with windows XP

Everytime I startup OFP (resistance) I get the following message: No entry 'config.bin/CfgWeapons.KEGRPG7LauncherMag'. After I press "OK" it goes away. anyone?

I'll try it out....thanks guys!

Darn, well thanks anyways guys

Viewed 51+ times and not ONE response from anyone else....hmm

When putting planes on an airfield, (with a WP to go forward to take off), the plane ALWAYS veers sharply to the left and wreck in the surrounding terrain! Why the heck does it do that AND what can I do to make them take off like a NORMAL aircraft??!!

Anyone?

thank you..very informative...I shall try it

SWEET! Thanks again guys!

Looking to fill a building with a cache of weapons. Is there a way to put weapons scattered around in a room (on the ground)??
