What's the name of those flat-top towers?? Have found some towers in the editor, but not those...

what does that line mean anyway?

Here's what it says in the init.sqs-file of the mission "Chinook", where there is a hidden waypoint: setViewDistance 1400 "_x moveIncargo aP" foreach units group v1 schodil = false spravne = false kurs = false vyhodil = false vysed = false paluba = false "4" objStatus "hidden" "1" objStatus "done"

Ohhh!! Well, that worked like a charm! Thanks a lot!!!! :cool:

I used the remove and add commands in the init field of one of the men in a mission to give him new weapons (G36 and a LAW). It worked just fine, but when I start the mission, the G36 and LAW aren't loaded... I have to press the reload button on both of the weapons to be 'ready for action'... Does anyone know how to get around this?

LOL!!! After a lot of trying, I finally got 2 M2 Machine guns properly into one fortress (the smaller type), and after I got two blokes to board the guns, I wanted to test something... I copied and pasted the gun position 3 times so I had altoghether eight guns in four fortresses, and then I had a bunch (around 30) russian troops walk right into them. Â O M G ! ! ! Â That's what I call a firefight. The sound of eight 50-cal machine guns going after 30 russian troops who are trying frantically to kill the gunners.... priceless! :biggrin: (Edited by Ptroinks at 4:42 pm on Nov. 29, 2001)

But doesn't the guy fire the flare straight ahead and not up? Is it possible to make him point his gun straight up or something before he fires?

thanks a lot, man!!! really appreciate it! I'll send the files when I get home

I noticed the signature in your post... do you by any chance play CounterStrike on the Dusty Dunes server? There's a guy who plays there a lot who calls himself si vis pacem para bellum...

Thanks, medvidek. Do you have any tips on making the overview file work? I made one, but it's not showing in the game...

I've tried all of the "assistants" I could find, but I get all kinds of error messages when starting\running them. In my opinion, they SUCK ! I think I know how to make the briefing work now, but I'm still struggling with the overview. I read somewhere about how to make .jpg-files work in it by sizing it to 128x64 or something... tried it... didn't work... Rob, if it's ok, I'd like to send my files to you (can I send the entire mission to you. I'd like to get some comments on it...)

Anyone? ...

I tried making overview\briefing files for a mission. The briefing works now, but I can't get the overview to show in the game. I edited another overview to fit my mission, and everything looks just fine, but it won't show... any tips???
