Do you find transport, navigation and observation boring? Do you believe a mission could be fun without a shot fired, like the "locate the 3 Shilkas" mission from the campaign? Do you find instant action to be lame arcade, or simply the best fun? What is a good lenght of a mission? 10 minutes? 30? 2 days?<span id='postcolor'> 1) Not really 2) I dont know about everybody else, but I killed everyone on this mission after I took the RPG from the first enemies on the beach, I actually blew up all the shilkas but the game made me do it again in a later mission. 3) Lame 4) I have spent hours on missions.

Also, @ the helo's original position, make it empty, then place one guy next to it to be pilot, then when he lands on the invisible helipad that Zach mentioned, you can choose to get in as gunner.

Zoom in real close. No really zoom in, and take into consideration that tanks have 3 crew men, helos have 2, apc's have 2, and you can only have 12 units in a group so, you can only have 4 tanks in a group (4*3=12), 6 helos (6*2=12) and so on. And also, when you use the group function and create an "Infantry Group", it put @ the very end, one sodier on top of another so you only actually see 11, but you can move that one away from the its ontop of and you will see both.

If you use player names to add weapons you'll have to name all units. You can just do this: RemoveAllWeapons this; this addmagazine "g36amag"; this addweapon "g36a" and so on, you add the mag first so the unit doesnt have to reload as soon as the mission begins.

You do have to remove something. A mag or grenade or whatever. You cant add something over something else.

I have an elaborating question. Say you had two black op teams, or 3 or 4 or 12 whatever, and they were to place charges at strategic places and you wanted a radio signal from you to them to touch off all that they had placed?

So would it go like this in the script for a waypoint gunner1 disableAI "autotarget" Then create a waypoint barely ahead linked to a trigger representing the assault to commence support, would I need any gunner1 enableAi "autotarget" ?

Say I had a unit of 3 machine gunners, would this command be used for the leader and the rest of the squad will follow suit? Also, would I put that in the script box or do I need to write a script and reference it?

I want to have a few machine gunners placed behind some bushes, prone, and when an assault commences on the malden airfield to lay down a blanket of fire on the airbase. But I dont want them to move once they're in position, how would I go about this.

That didnt do it. He flew lower and faster but not a straight line. Still round. All the way around the town. Does he do this perhaps to orient the nose of the chopper in such a direction? B/c he is always facing the opposite way in which he came from.

What is the syntax that you are using?

I'm on Malden, I have a blackhack w/ men aboard leaving from a helipad @ the airport and a direct waypoint to the drop zone (another invisible helipad) in Saint Louis. The chopper flies this round route coming in view of the forces in La trinity and removing thier "safe" behavior to get to this waypoint. I even added a waypoint on the other side of the town (Saint Louis) then to the drop zone and the chopper still flew the round route. I am totally bewildered to why its doing that. Any help, thanks

Thanks a lot, that worked perfectly
