I've seen it done in a mission, but I dont think the author used a trigger, I believe he used a script, but I couldn't tell you what author or mission or how he did that, but there is a way...

3.Do you know how i do that the Hold waypoint will switch to next waypoint?

Hi, I did find a tutorial on a tank sitting script or help. Direct your mouse to the link below... Ofp.info sitting on tanks I hope that helps....

Hi, I may have posted something like this before, didn't find the post. I'm still having problems with this. It's really hard for me to play bigger file missions on my computer. I have an over 4 year old PC.. I'm not familiar on what is needed to be done here to solve this annoying problem with OFP game play. here is my system information. -Intel Pentium 4 Proccessor -512MB RAM -80GB Hard drive -CD & DVD ROM Discs.... Those are the basics for it...I need to have guidence and direction here on what to do so I can apply the steps to fix this problem so I can play missions, where I'm not experiences horrible lag.. I know even really super fast computers and new ones might expirence lag but mine is with missions that aren't even very big and I know this is not normal and it's crossing the lines for my game play... Any help would be great. Thanks all..

That's understandable about the graphics card and CPU. Although I don't know much in-depth detail about those parts of the PC I see how they interact and have a relationship with all the graphics and objects inside OFP game-play. So, do you guys think I should get a new graphics card? Because I haven't had a new one put in since I got the PC almost 5 years ago. Also don't know about getting a new CPU, because that's almost like buying a whole new computer, but I like my computer so I would probably do it. But yeah when it comes down to day to day playing with OFP even sometimes the smaller missions I have even lag a little bit. I think people who know what I'm talking about find it quite difficult to finish a mission or even start one if the lag is bad.

@456820~ Oh did I not specify this correctly? 512MB RAM? Or if not then where do I find how much there is?. @DBR_ONIX~ What about going to operation flashpoint references and changing some settings in there? What is all you could possibly do to make lag atleast more livable in game-play? Because when it comes to mine, it sometimes gets so bad I can't even play the mission to complete the objectives, that's how it gets..... Anymore ideas, or maybe steps that people have taken who have had this exact same problem or something very close to it.

Hi all, I know anyone who reads this alread has thoughts going through there head. The more in depth meaning to my question is, when did BIS orginally originate the idea for Operation Flashpoint. I'm not talking about it's first release to the public, I'm asking about way before that, I mean who got the idea, oh, maybe we should generate "this" into a game.. Does everybody catch where I'm coming from? So basically when did it all start? Where can I learn about BIS history? Is BIS history locked in a vault prohibited? Those are a few basic questions..Thanks..

@harley 3 1185~ Hey, no I haven't tried google yet. Which I'm doing now and see what I'll find. (if your question is refered to me?) Also are we all going to celebrate with OFP's 5 year anniversary this June? Hmmmm.. Just to establish this again, yes I did check out BIS home page and got info on their breif history very breif I might add. I want to search for more in detail information for my kind of style of learning, such as articles or in depth discussions like that. A few questions that I'm looking for are as followed: 1) Since Marek Spanel was the creator of OFP dated way back, I mean how did he come up with all the ideas to have for things such as mission editing, single player missions, campaigns, addons, scripting and so on? I'm talking about maybe if there are any of those kind of thoughts or articles out there somewhere on the net that I could read, in which that would be interesting. Some more of my thoughts for you...thank you all.

BlackDog~ lol, yeah it crossed my mind after I posted it. But I think what I'm thinking about is a way more detailed coverage. I'm looking for something more. I mean yeah those years and breif descriptions are great. I guess I'm kind of looking for more info. I could try and do some research... Do you know what I mean?

You know I've seen other fan pages or websites in the OFP community and a lot of them look good. I also like the site that I have but personally I feel I need to make it more proffessional. What are some tips and advice do you have that would make it look better when it comes to posting news, images and information on the site that poeple like to view? anyone may post how ever you feel is neccassary..Thanks...

@HotShot~ Thanks for the response. yeah, there is that blue banner header on top that says "Ofp Designing team and Ofp community resource". I can't get that off there. I don't know if I can. The host that I'm going through is Freewebs Sos they don't always have things that other hosts would sometimes I think. Otherwise, the site that I have is just a basic text editor, it's no HTML what's so ever. I know basics of HTML but not enough to create the website on how it looks now. Yes, that is one flaw I noticed, that I need to correct @GoOB~ When you say the terms air or white spaces, what do you mean by that, not familiar with them? But I'm sure once you explain them I will be. Thanks.. @J W~ THanks for your reply. @CrashDome~ Yes it's done by hand but I have text editor with no HTML...

Hi, I have a website that you may know of and I'm looking to get an email server or something that can say like my email address and then @OfpCentury.com As Nightjay0044@OfpCentury.com does anybody know where I can get such a server? Would I have to pay for it? Is it expensive? Can each member of the team have there own email section where useres can email them if they wish? Thanks...

For me OFP screen shots look fine but when you blow them up in another window they kind of loose there texture a little bit because of how big the picture gets. I personally think that the games are going to take quite some time to release they say in 2006, but maybe both games will be released in 2007. We really don't know, just how ever long they test the bugs and gameplay but hey no complaints, I can use my time wisely with OFPR and other versions. Hopefully soon as possible though.

okay, I'm looking at maybe getting "This One here" . Do you think this is a good one? Then I could support 5 email adresses and give addresses to my top 5 members or something on our site. Then I would have it for 2 years for $20.00... Any suggestions or comments?

Does anybody know a direct link that works to get the invasion 1944 demo MOD, because I need it to use a ww2 addon that i have.

Yeah I actually downloaded that link last night and let it download and it worked, it took about 9hrs to download. WEll I tried it but the WW2 addon that I have still doen't work. There's something missing for the weapons. When I click the OFP.exe to run the game an error pops up that says this add needs "invasion demo" which I downloaded but it doesn't work...so not sure what to do with that. am I missing something here?

I tried the link that you gave me and I donwload it about halfway and it stops and then it gives me an error after I try and run it and install it. So I can try it again, but if anybody has gone throught his with the link above let me know. Thanks

Okay thanks, I'll give it a try and see how it works...

Does anybody have the SEB NAM PAK? If so how do you get the NVA 60MM mortar to fire rounds at the enemy? Thanks.

Hey yeah I don't know why it didn't work either. But now it worked since you gave me the other link and I tested it out. You know a user can make so many more missions with the sebnam pak it actually has mortars. well you could create the same effect using a trigger in regular OFP but it's not the same. Anyway thanks Arc for the sample tutorial..it will be used if I ever make a mission out of it.

The Architect~ Hey I tried downloading your link but it says I'm forbidden to download it and I registered and tried it then but it still give me the same message. Do I have to enable something? or?

Hey all, I've tried to attempt scripting for some time. Although some things are coming a little more clearer to me I still need a lot more studying to do. Alright I understand the very basic of a script. Example.. -How to execute a script -What a script is -What a script looks like -intro to arrays -intro to variables -intro to other symbols. So I just don't know how to proceed any farther. How to execute a script that's simple. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[] exec "script.sqs" Now what I know of arrays is this. <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[array1,array2,array3,array4,etc] exec "script.sqs" now these arrays are assigned to the variables well the local varialbe in the script...such as... <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_Unit = _this select 0 I know how to use the local varaibles to make soldiers do stuff in the game such as behaviour or addweapons and simple things like that, but once it gets to anything past that such as creating a bomb, or arty strike or anything like that I'm not sure what to do....Also I do have "Johan Gustafsson" tutorial. But that's not always easy to understand. Perhaps someone can give me of another simple script I can study or something or some type of advice.... Thanks all...

Here's an idea. This is mainly for people who know how to script. I say if people have ideas for OFP for thier missions and don't know how to do it. Like for example script challenge could be: "If a helicopter gets above 50meters the car on the ground explodes" Kind of concepts like that for other scripters to test their knowledge and try and script it. Now the people coming up with the ideas donot have to be scripting masters, heck they dont even have to know how to script, they can just come up with the idea, post it,and see if anybody can make it. That way we can get more advanced scripts out there made for peopel to use to enhance there missions. IF anyone could agree with this idea let me know or otherwise just post your thoughts. Thanks.

It's still something to keep the scripters something to do and have fun with it. How about we just stick to it as something if someone needs a script done that they don't know how to do they can post a script challenge for someone to take on?? We could possibly do that, since nobody might not want just a scripting challenge area in general make it more specific.

This mission is made by tyrell, it's called "wounded bee" Here's the link to the mission. View here Okay how do I go about doing this? Because I've never been good at command a squad, maybe a small one but when it comes to a bunch more even 12 as many as OFP can handle it's hard for me to do it because all my squad ends up getting killed and I end up beating the mission anyways myself. Here are the statistics for the mission incase you've never played it. Well I play as a leader of the resistance army of an 8man squad. Our main objective is to steal the enemy hind and fly it to safety. Also to destroy the 3 shilkas guarding the hind before we take off or else it would be hard to fly away. Here are the units I have... This mission also takes place on the island of Le Port, Malden where the action will take place. RESISTANCE: 1) Leader w/RPG (ME)(3RPG's) 2) Sniper 1 3) Sniper 2 4) AK47/Grenadier 5) RPG soldier (3RPG'S) 6) Machine Gunner 7) AK47 Soldier 8) Machine Gunner That's what I have for my team..Now time for the east army info. EAST: Le Port: This city has atleast 10-15 soldiers and 1 shilka. It also has a BMP patrolling the area from Le Port to the Port at sea which is just to the west of Le Port (that's where our hind is parked) PORT (WEST OF LE PORT: -MI-24 -T80 -BMP -3 M2 Machine gun nests. -about 15-20 soldiers on the port -The other 2 shilkas are in or by this port. -Also the briefing says there is also more shilkas around Le Port and the port near Le Port. Quanity is unknown. REINFORCMENTS: Also there looks to be like reinforcements will come once you are spotted farther from the west. (although I have tested this and it doesn't seem like there's any reinforcments but some I think came by boat. TIPS: The chopper does not fly away once you've been spotted Also no land reinforcments seem to come only some by sea. So I'm guessing the strenght of the enemy consists of 40-50 soldiers 8-15 Armored tanks including shilkas. So if someone could give me some tips on how to go about this, and i think that trying to keep every man alive is going to be very difficult if you ever get spotted in a tight situation like this. Also Le Port is not as heavily Guarded as the "port" is where the shilka is parked..
