Defekt

Hey guys, I've looked through a couple tutorials and, while they are moderately helpful, they don't seem to answer some of the key questions that a new editor like myself might have. So, hopefully, through this thread I can not only get my basic editing questions answered, but it can become a new-editor-help-thread that I can keep updated for newcomers to check out to answer some key questions. I'm very interested in learning to create detailed, enjoyable missions - but I quite honestly have very little experience and have found it difficult to do what I want in the editor. So, to begin, I have a couple of key questions: 1) Where can I go to learn about all of the trigger functions, initialization code on units, and different codes for triggers (i.e. on activate do _____)? 2) If I have a group of units (I'll call them grpJumpers) flying in a C130, and I want them all to jump out as they reach a trigger, how would I go about doing this in a concise fashion? As of right now, I'm typing something similar to Jumper1 action ["eject", Cargo]; Jumper2 action ["eject", Cargo]; where Cargo is the vehicle and it's just way too tedious to do for each unit. 2*) Also, as a continuation of that question, once the soldiers have jumped, they are always ordered to re-board the plane. How can I make it so that once they eject they move to a certain waypoint? 3) How can I have it so that a certain group of units moves to a vehicle - and once they are in it, that vehicle will move to a certain waypoint? 4) How do you have a helicopter land at a waypoint, have the units disembark, and then once they are out have the helicopter continue to it's next waypoint - and, as a continuation of that, once the units are on the ground, how can I then assign them to move to a different waypoint? ^As you can see from my last couple of questions, I'm having a lot of trouble getting units to do certain things at a specific waypoint, as well as having them go to a waypoint only when I want. So, if anybody could direct me to a thread with detailed information about waypoints/triggers or at least give me more information about them I would greatly appreciate it. Please, if you can, answer the questions in the reply and don't just direct me to multiple sites - if you must then go ahead, but I'm hoping to get the answers as clearly and directly as possible. Thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for the help! I'll mess around with this soon :)

Hey guys, I've looked around the forums a bit but I still can't find an answer (probably because it's very simple) but I was wondering how I make a set of units a group? I know the initialization for a single unit is group1 = group this; but what do I do for multiple units - I'm not sure if I can do that for every unit and have it properly recognize that they're all group1. *Also, miscellaneous question: If I'm a scout lasing targets, how do I get the AI planes to bomb my targets? Thanks in advance!
