    Ok, this is being posted for MadMax, who says he couldn't reply to this thread:

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">In all cases, you have to use a program to extract the mission.sqm file from the .pbo mission file  -> then decompile it -> then edit it -> then stuff it back into the original .pbo

    The main problem I experienced was... there are two formats for the .sqm file: Bohemia Interactive's (BI) is different from the one created when you use the editor to make a mission.

    UTILITIES REQUIRED (uncompiled Perl versions also available):

    Extract mission.sqm file from a .PBO:

    ftp://flashpoint.xaos.ru:4000/utilities/cmiss-uncomp.exe

    Decompile editor (user made) mission.sqm file: unpack.pl

    ftp://flashpoint.xaos.ru:4000/utilities/StuffPBO_V1b.zip

    * To use cmiss-uncomp.exe correctly, you need to:

    1) Put it with a freshly unpacked mission.sqm in the same folder of your choice

    2) Open a MS-Dos console

    3) Change to your chosen directory

    4) type: cmiss-uncomp.exe>mission.txt

    5) new file mission.txt created in directory

    6) Important: open mission.txt and go to the end of file

    7) Delete the last 3or4 lines: "This exe file....."

    8) Save your work

    9) Put the "mission.txt" into your OFP-User folder

    10) Rename it to "mission.sqm", ready to be edited.<span id='postcolor'>

    Thanks MadMax!!

    Give this a shot:

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">Plane_Unit = "A10" createVehicle [getMarkerPos "SomeMarker"]<span id='postcolor'>

    Just make sure you place a marker named "SomeMarker" where you want the plane to appear. (I put the code for an A10 in, since I've never seen an F16...

    Cheers

    I'm using the following code, which is darn near exactly what is in the manual:

    </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"SoldierWB" createUnit [getMarkerPos "Nowhere", groupAlpha]<span id='postcolor'>

    But no unit ever appears at marker "Nowhere"!!

    Any hints?

    Thanks

    I'm working on a beach assault mission where once you kill off the assaulting infantry, boats start showing up.

    I've used createVehicle to make the new boats, but they're toally unoccupied (no commander, driver or gunner). So despite setting some waypoints, they just sit there!

    Any hints? Thanks!

    Script below:
