I had a task to clear out a Russian checkpoint, I killed every single Russian out there, but my mission does not update. Is there something i have to blow up, or? I could also generally use some tips with these missions, like what to do to get certain missions going on.

If I haden't posted in the wrong forum, then I would't have gotten a response. So I consider myself quite smart =P

So they want me to clear out a Russian Checkpoint. I killed everyone, but the mission does not update :/

Hey, Im new to MP and cant join this server. Its the only one out there and my game is patched to 1.5, but i still cant join :X

I dont understand German dude, please help :X

This is the only server that populated in multiplayer. I did update my game to 1.5 and it says so in the corner. The server is also 1.5, but it still wont let me join, and I even tried to install the map pack, but its still a mystery to me.

I made my own mission. And with a friend we tried to play it. How ever when one of us died, we couldt switch to another unit even tho i made them playable?

Well I just made a txt file and renamed it. Can someone tell me step by step where to go and how to do this? :X

I created a txt file and renamed it description.ext in my mission folder and put in what you said, but im still not respawning. In my mission i made all characters playable, but still no luck.

I made a group of motorized infantry units, i made them in cargo so they begin indside the truck. However my first problem is that the squad leader still doesent start indside the truck. Secound is when i come to the objective and theres enemies, the group just doesent disembark, they just sit there getting shot.

So I made a mission, now i want to play it with a friend online, how do i do that?

Then mine is bugged.

Hello. I have bought Arma 2 a couple days ago and have today fumbled around with the editor, in the beginning it was quite fun however quickly got frustrating when i wanted to make a serious mission. I came onto the forums and spend a lot of time reading. How ever I just cant figure out how the triggers and all that scripting works. If I want to make a mission where you have to capture something, I dont know how to place the thing you have to capture and how you just generally capture the thing. Its so complicated that im already about to give up. I went on MP to check out what fun missions other players made, but I dont understand a thing. I spawn at some airbase, and see this fancy cars and planes and stuff, but i cant enter them. The assault objective is 5km away, and I simply deny to walk 5km. I was looking forward to all that Arma 2 had to offer, but my good feeling about this game is going down. I basicly ask for some pointers, perhaps even a tutorial that shows how to make some missions, which explain why the creator does that and how to do it ect.

I decided to drop the convoy idea and indstead just dropped the trucks close by with the infantry to make it look as if you drove with them. Next is i'd like a bombing attack over the city. I placed some planes a bit away and around 10 sec, they come over the city, though it seems as if they dont drop any missiles or bombs or anything. I got mainly infantry enemies on the ground. Any advice how I can make some planes drop bombs over the city as they pass or atleast attack the infantry units? ---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ---------- Oh and most importently. Id like to play this mission with a friend over the internet. How do I play it with him?

I have looked over some guides, the more i read the more confusing it gets really, i guess il just read it again :P

I havent done scripting before, how would I be doing it?

I guess theres nothing i can do about it then.

Splendid! Now another note on waypoints, i made a group of motorized infantry and wanted them to drive to a specific city, however id like them to drive on the ROAD, but the AI keeps trying to take the shortest way to the waypoint, meaning going through houses, forests and what not. When I try to make several smaller waypoints on the road, the AI doesent really seem to be able to drive straight, its like a drunken driver, anyway i can make the driver drive more smoothly?

I actully managed to make this trigger, thanks a lot :)' Altho it wouldt let me syncronize a trigger with a soldier tho. Let us say i have a group of soldiers which kill the last enemy in an area, the trigger goes and the txt says Clear. Now If id like to trigger a waypoint to the next town to capture how do i do this?

Manuals are very usefull however they are nothing compared to someone who can help you to put the stuff in the manual in practice. Its like learning Russian from a computer, it aint the same like from a teacher xD, do you got xfire? :)
