    Stupid Question...

    I believe it is a max of 63 groups per side and a max of 12 men in each of those groups.

    Need help with paratroops

    Since I know many people are nervous when it comes to scripts, and no offense cantata it was a good one, I'll offer an alternative solution that does not utilize a script. Just click my link below and download the tutorial I made that deals with this if you want to. It also compares the method of ejecting men all at once with an array versus one at a time with waypoints.
  3. ah yes, just make a trigger that has the condition of not (alive blackhawkname) and in the on activation you would put in player addrating 4000 I don't know how many 'points' you would need to add, but perhaps you could experiment. I'd only use this method though if my soviet troop suggestion doesn't work.

    Bin Laden escape to Iraq?

    Some part of me believes that my government is going to have Bin Laden escape to Iraq, and after we finish there, maybe he'll go to Mogodishu and after that, maybe Iran. It seems as if osama is our reason to 'settle all family business' in the words of Michael Corleone in the Godfather. Great movie, even better book.

    OFP without vehicles = lag free games?

    you want to see some lag, try putting a few LSTs in the map and group them together. Lagorific. I tried to do it in my latest single player mission to conserve groups, but I ended up having 4 LSTs all in their own group.

    mission testers

    Well, I just finished my latest mission Ruby Harbor. I've play tested quite a few times, but just like writing papers, its always good to get an outside opinion. I was wondering if anyone could download it and see what they think of it and if there are any bugs. I'm pretty sure I've eliminated all the bugs, but there's always a chance that I missed some because I knew exactly what to do in the mission to win. Anyways, just click on the link to my website below and reply here or email me. Thanks in advance.
  7. is the blackhawk empty? that shouldnt happen if it is. If not empty, make it so. Or, you could make it so that a soviet unit is inside the chopper.

    n00b question

    they do refer to time. min is the absolute minimum time, max is the maximum and mid is the average time. This allows you to randomize when events occur. To make things occur the same time every time, just make them all the same number. When countdown is selected, once the trigger condition is met, it will countdown the time and then do whater the on activation tells it to do. For timeout, the condition must be true the whole time that it is counting down.

    Red Hammer Mission 3

    this puzzled me at first also, but if you go into the house that you start next to, there should be an unarmed civvie that will give you the keys to the truck. Just watch out for another ambush at the next town.

    Hi all, can any 1 give me names of missions with...

    killerbee, you do have parachutes, you just have to activate them by using radio alpha. I believe I mentioned this in the briefing, but if I didn't, tell me so I can correct it. I used this method because in real life, parachutes aren't automatic in a HALO jump and I wanted to simulate that but the only way I could think of doing it was through the radio.
  11. yeah, I really wish the vehicles matched their description in the manual where you can carry 14 troops with a blackhawk and such, but I know that its just a nod to gameplay that they do it the way that it is now. Anyways, If I were you, just start an empty desert island map, place the transport units you want in there and experiment with how many people fit in.
  12. this kind of thing is difficult to judge. Just because I like a mission does not guarantee that you will like it. I personally do not like black ops missions, but you might love them. I like a good infantry mission, but you might not like it. For example, I downloaded the most downloaded mission from flashpointarena called 5th aviation or something like that and I didn't like it at all. I found it boring, but obviously other people liked it. So I can't really tell you what the best missions are out there, but I can tell you what I think is the best mission that I made. If you want MY best mission, just click the link to my website and download the mission Assassins. It has custom voice sounds/a cutscene/intro/briefing/debriefing/3 different endings/ and a few unique features I put in.

    Scripting

    every time I save a script, I use the save as feature and that way I know it saves as myscript.sqs It would be strange if this didn't work for you

    2 questions to make missions

    for briefings, I suggest you download the document on the editing section of this site and just change the info where they say to change it. For the added equipment, you'll need to do that in the description.ext file and seeing how I really don't want to type it all out, I believe someone put it in a recent post, happy hunting.
  15. Okay, number 2 and 3 answers are: 2: make a trigger that is activated by Radio Alpha (under the side option). In the on activation field of this trigger type in [firesupport] join myname where firesupport is the name of the group of your air support and myname is the name you have given your player. 3: make a west infantry unit some place in the middle of nowhere where there is no chance he will be seen (you can make sure he doesnt die by typing in the init field this setcaptive true) and then just have a trigger that goes off whenever you want the order to be given and put in the on act field papabear sidechat "This is Papa Bear ...." where papabear is the name of that unit you placed and the text in quotes is the order you want given.

    Escape from prison with the pilot

    this is kinda strange. When I played this mission, I took the Hind and after flying for a while, there was a jeep about 1 km ahead of me that I had targeted. I then landed after finding some flat ground and then I ran for about 500 m until the cutscene started.

Mb u could actually help someone for a change instead of flaming.<span id='postcolor'> I hope you weren't talking about me, I wasn't trying to flame him. Anyways, if you really need help, go to the mission editing forum. People there are for the most part glad to help and will usually help you solve your problems. For me, the best way to learn how to do briefings were by downloading the sample briefing from the editing section of this site and then just using notepad to substitute information in where needed.
  19. okay, but we really ought to limit the amount of off topic posts in this forum because I really don't want to see the mission editing forum go the way of the general and off topic forums. The day I come in here and see lots of flaming or spaming, I'm done with the forums all together.

    LST

    you can land on it without it sinking, just down hold down on z once your on it or you will force it down. It takes like 150 rockets to destroy unless you use setdammage and make it something like .9 (something I'm doing in the current mission I'm making, but I can't say more at the moment as I think its a novel idea) and also you can use them to rearm choppers. To make them for the east side, just place one in as an empty unit and have a east soldier moveindriver. However, if you just leave it as an empty lst, either side can use it to rearm.
  21. Wow, this has nothing to do with mission editing and we haven't seen the #moderation mode moved here yet. Suma must not be as active as some of those other moderaters. Sorry to say, this probably also means you won't get any response from suma.
  22. well, when placing or editing a trigger, it has a name slot so you can probably give it a name. Then just do triggername setpos [x,y] I say only x and y and not z because I believe the z variable will have no effect on the firing of the trigger. Hope this works for you.

    Please download my first mission pack

    You don't really need intros, outros, or cutscenes. But the briefing is THE essential part of a mission for me (except of course the actual mission). And you also need endings and debriefings. These things are easy to do. Well, while I'm here I may as well do some shameless promotion of my missions that I made that are COMPLETE and available for download at my website.

    is "flashpointarena" down for the last couple of  days?

    it was down for like three days, up for about two, and now its down again for me. It's really annoying as I like to check the stats on the missions I submitted there.
