Hi, an OFP newbie intersted in editing the game.
First off, is it possible to launch an external application using scripts? I tried to launch Notepad.exe using Exec as an experiment. But that either printed rubbish to the screen or crashed the game.
With the news of the forth coming release of the BIS in-house utils, I fancy doing a WWII mod. But how could I (if at all) implement the advantage of support teams (i.e Machine gunner and loader, Bazzoka and loader, Mortars and.....e.t.c), in other words "many hands making light work"?
And finally, I would like to set the camera to follow a LAW round when launched (for example). Even better if I know the round will hit its target before I run the script (for game objectives like the scud launcher in the campaign).
Cheers, I have probably exceded my quota of newbie question and trying to bite off more than I can chew. But any help would be much appreciated.
P.S Thanks to all the people who have contributed to the wealth of info, FAQ's and utils, I've been wading through for the past few weeks...Pheww
