    As said this is very mission specific. In the basic game with no scripts, modules or addons all a medic does is heal wounded (but living) people to full health by using an action on them. With BIS first aid modules, there is also an "agony" state which is something in between "wounded" and "dead" where the player can't really do anything other than roll over and crawl - in this state anyone can heal him back into "wounded" mode (in which he can actually move/aim/shoot but is inaccurate due to injuries), but only a medic can heal him back to full health (before or after someone else "heals" him out of his "agony" state). In ACE missions using ACE wounding module there are all kinds of states and you need to check the ACE wiki for more information. When it comes to scripts (such as norrin's revive script) it can be just about anything - whatever the mission maker chose to script, but the basic actions your medic have will always depend on which (if any) wounding module is being used in the mission.

    Thankyou.

    Hiya Guys

    Ive just started to play the role of Medic online and have a few questions.

    i) You have bandages and 2 types of syringes. Is there a case where you specifically select one over the other to treat a wounded soldier, or do you just select "revive" or "heal" all the time, and the game determines what item is used.

    ii) As all players have the capability to "revive" is there really any need for a Medic?

    iii) Is there any way to check the level of the players health you are treating?

    Cheers

    If you're getting that screen it should be working. Load up the Editor (Single Player) and choose one of the maps (If the mod is working you should see Hurtgen, Normandy and Nome Winter Island). Once in the editor place units. There are no missions yet so you'll have to make your own fun. If you are new enough that you do not know how to use the editor, go to youtube and type in Arma 2 editor tutorial and learn from the friendly community that has made it very easy.

    Thanks very much Hroudlan. I do get the 3 maps, just wasnt aware that I had to make my own missions.

    I`d better go and learn!

    Hiya

    Im pretty new to Arma so please forgive me for this question - How do I get the mod to run?

    Ive installed it correctly (I think), and when launched I see the "Few" screen, with W Churchills quote, but then I cant seem to get any further. Im presented with the usual Single Player, Multiplayer selection screen, but it doesnt seem to matter where I go I cant find how to launch the mod.

    Help please :)

    Cheers

    Hiya Guys

    Im new to Arma, so please bear with me.

    Ive just been playing on an ACE server but couldnt work out who was the enemy and who wasnt! Some players had name tags, so I know theyre friendly, but others didnt, and looked like they were on my side, ie running and firing toward the enemy, so I assumed they were on my side. I did spot several un-tagged figures but didnt want to shoot them cos i wasnt sure if they were enemy or not.

    Can someone please help me out?

    Cheers

    Hiya Guys

    Ive just installed Yomas add-on, and using Zueus` guide which is very good.

    In the guide, when trying to add a server, it says to input the server URL into the "Auto Config url" field.

    My question is - how do I find the server URL info?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Cheers

    Hiya Guys

    I was wondering if someone could help me please?

    Im trying, for the first time, to install some addons on to my system. Ive placed all the pbo etc files into the appropriate folders, but my problem arises when Im trying to edit the target line in my shortcut.

    Ive edited it to read -

    "C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe -mod=MyAddons"

    But when I click apply I get an error message saying that -

    "the name specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and the file name are correct."

    Im obviously doing something wrong, can you help please?

    Cheers
