Hi all again, A second topic in a short while, but asked myself this: How can I let a soldier join me (when Im standing close to it) and that he follows me. Example: I start in Morton, the soldier I need to pick up is in Saint Phillipe, after a heck of a long part travelliing, I finally have him in my sight. Now I walk up towards him, and after did that, that he follows me. But it is the last rule that Im struggling with. How do let him join me? There is an option: Join and take command in the Waypoint menu, but I dont think it works. What is the correct way (even if the Join and take command is good, btw if so do you need a certain code for activating it?) of letting a soldier/civilian join you? And what is the correct way for groups?

Hi Just came up with the idea about making a free-roam game. But not just any game, no it's one which idea is never been realised (at least not in terms of the year when it plays). The idea is: A free roam (mmorpg kind)car selling game, in fully modern day graphics and the ability to virtually just to anything. I have modeling experience, since I have worked with 3ds max for a while now, which I know how to make an realistic model. So whattayouthink?

Well consider it this way: In "normal" view it will be like tycoon style, but with a click of a button, swoosch, go into 3d mode. Not planning to do it alone though, if anyone like to help, I be happy to accept that.

Hi all Just new to mission editing here. Have a question: When I made a waypoint in the Mission Editor and test in with the previewbutton, nothing will show up, I have downloaded and readed (partitially) the Uber Referance Guide from Mercilless Creations, but not sure how to follow it. (I play this mission as a civilian btw) The Waypoint screen Edit Waypoint Screenshot The Effects window of Waypoints: Edit Effects (Waypoints) The trigger (covers 2 waypoints) A Trigger And what does the Description textbox do? Edit: Another question though: How do I control a SCUD launcer? I mean, how can I pinpoint where it will strike? And yet another question: What is the best strategy (and the therefor needed codes) to start as a induvidual (West/East/Civ, whatever)and let people join you (the ppl are scattered around a island) in your team?

Well there is a very simple although not modern solution to that. If a unit want to join a player you get this: 1. Name the player and the unit which must join. 2. Make an trigger (F3) and in the following boxes: activation: once condition: [name unit (without the brackets)] distance [name player (without the brackets)] < 5 (or so) onActivation: [hellome1 (which is the unit for example)] join [playa (which is the player)] Simply make another unit, which is not playable, and typ those settings in his/her trigger. Get it?

No no. I had a new question, and AgentJohnson ain't replied good to say the least.

*sighs* Sorry to say but you are dumb, or didn't read the rest of the topic. I know how to make missions, only some of the things of scripting is vague to me. A real answer please!?

Well hopefully a standalone game. But let's be realistic. If I start it, it will be an covertion of a existing game. @kakagogie: It aint conna be a racing game, its gonna be like a sim. Start off with a small car dealer and make your way up to one of the largest. I also was thinking about a totally retextured and remodeled OFP, without loosing the way OFP is set up. So basically, flatly spoken, get rid of the flat textures/models and replace it with a good modelled/textured one. Or is this idea allready in progress (no not ArmA). Does anyone know good books about how to program (the coding part, yes) modern fully (realistic)3d games? EDIT: Ok this is a bit like the features that I want to put in the game: - Manage finacial things - Possibility to add things to your building, like a 4x4 test track for customers who like to buy an 4x4, this can also be a dragstrip etc - Take a test drive in one of the occassions you must sell - Take your own car and take a drive trough the landscape or city - Start your buisness in 5 different continents (thus 5 or more places) Storyboard: This is a... say... WIP list, updates will follow hopefully. <span style='color:red'><span style='font-size:10pt;line-height:100%'>If you have a nice feature to add, please do not hessitate and post it, even if its totally ridicules</span></span>

Well I like the Chevrolet Chevy Van's ('80s). http://www.4x4plus.com/Chevy_Van_1.jpg Why? Well, me, as an European, don't have those kind of boxy vehicles, and therefore it is in a way special. You can rebuild or stuff alot in it. "Im the dude in the Chevy Van". I know its well, pretty lauging actually, but who gives a damn?

New Question: I have this mission storyboard: Go to the main base at Levie and wait for futher instructions. Ok now how can I trigger something that will give new orders (via radio) after... say... a break of 2 minutes after touching down the ground with my helicopter? And how do I radio in back up teams (say Bravo: Tanks squad and Alpha: Infantry squad, and with all the things that come around with it>? Regards

Fixed thanks!

Hmmm Metal Heart I follow your words but for some reason it wont work. http://img308.imageshack.us/img308/9882/triggerjoincvduv3.jpg Is this correct?

Hi Where can I find good tutorials about the WrpTool? And how do I put 3ds max (.max) files in OFP?

Well, You can edit the sound of it very easily: Download: http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Audacity, then record the well... recording, and if you are not happy you can easily modify it. If you want to mix things: http://www.cockos.com/reaper/

Thanks for your quick answer, but why doesn't it show up in Veteran mode? To keep it difficult?
