As did I - but that's not the fact - It would be very sweet to have both Motorized and Mechanized units embarking their vehicles before they move on...

This is indeed a very nice script - however I try to make mechInf units board the vehicle before moving, but with no luck, the group just stops and freezes :( - any idea what's wrong...?

I stumbled upon this on my google search: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setVariable I don't know what it does or how to use it properly - but has this something to do with my above mentioned...?

I've managed to change the Icon on my high command unit (group this) setvariable [""MARTA_customIcon"",[""n_mech_inf""]]; Unlike Arma2 will it be possible to set the GroupSize this time...? :)

Anyone...?

I'm playing along with Vilas public Mlods (the 2S1)... - when I views it ingame I've noticed that it targets (and fires at) aircrafts... - when it locks on an aircraft it starts chasing the chopper/plane all over the map, constantly shooting at it - quite amusing, but rather useless... - how can I prevent it from that behaviour...?

It had a commanders position - BUT on load the editor picked a commandvehicle by default (obviously without a commanders position) - which meant that when I picked my custom vehicle it keeped the drivers position... - simple explanation - problem solved... :)

I'm playing along with Vilas mlod vehicles... - something bothers me, and that is in the editor I always start in my vehicle as driver - is there somehow I can change it so that I start as commander instead...? - It's properly just a simple setting in the config, I just don't know how to set it... :| I'm very sry if this has been answered a billion times - just cound'nt finde any info about this... :)

How goes with the 2S1... - will we see that in a near update/next patch...? Have you considered theese babies in the pack as well...? - looks pretty straight forward to include... Cdf pchela-1t UAVs and Pchela Fix

Acuelly I'll take that back - I created a new thread on this issue http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?142275-Custom-GroupSize-on-High-Command-Icons&p=2248776#post2248776

I would like to provide the opportunity to add custom groupSize to my Extended Markers http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?94590-Extented-Markers-and-Icons As I wrote in this thread there's this script: \modules\Marta\data\scripts\fnc_getSize.sqf which defines the groupSize. Being able to define a fixed groupSilike this would be nice: (group this) setVariable ["MARTA_customicon", ["b_recon","4"]] - where "4" defines a 'Company' Size... - how would that be possible...?

What I try to achive is to give a unit a custom size - as you see when using custom icons there's no size shown: By custom size I also mean to change a groups size from 'group' to fx. 'company' without having to group 60+ units together... ;)

Nope - addons is not an option - what I need is a scripted solution... - there must be a way... :/

*bump* :(

I would really like to know how to do this as well... - the file mentioned in the above thread (fnc_getSize.sgf) looks like this: Knowing how to override this would be real need... :) P.S I'm very sorry for bringing this OLD thread to live again - but it has never beed solved and I'm struggling with the very same thing... :-|

Found yet another bug: When I put additionals gunners in any transport choppers the chopper won't RTB after disembark... :confused: Nevermind... - it turned out that I had to defined the pilots elsewhere: and here:

Niice script, really love it... :-) - However, I can only make A10 do CAS, I cannot make AV8B, F35, SU25/39 of SU34 do CAS, only Bombruns... - any ideas why...?:confused:

I wonder - would it be possible having the groups deployed their wepons when the game begins (which means that the player/commander does'nt have to deploy by HC at the beginning) - like caling the 'DeployWeapon.sqf' file by init line...?

I think tins photo pretty much narrows down what is awesome... - among many others of course... ;)

I made a script for OWP BM-21 Grad (Which you need, off course ) BM21 script ATM the Rocket Launchers only works as stationary objects, but it is still very effective. It's NOT Coc UA quality but it works. Larger image Larger image By the way! Please read the ReadMe Â

That sounds very good, indeed... :) - by the way - I guess making a CDF BRDM2-HQ would be the same procedure...? *hint hint* :o

The UAZ SP9 would be sweet for CDF - have you considred to make groups for theese addons as well...? - I can provide you all the help you need with groups if you like - just PM me... - the reason I ask for groups is that theese new addons would be seweet for the Ambient Combat Manager :)

FN-Fal for me... :)

How is it possible to reskin the Taki BTR60 and T55...? - I've tried the 'SetObjectTexture' in all kind of variations that I've found in this thread using the Search button with no luck. On the other hand I've had no trouble teskinning other Taki vehicles - both armored and cars - so has anybody successfully reskinned theese two vehicles (BTR/T55)...? Woody
