High Command will not work

[High Command will not work]

mine is on the latest patch, so my problem still stands

[High Command will not work]

I have been trying for a long time now to make a high command mission, but i cant make the units do what i tell them. Now this may seem like an editing question, but it is not.

The high command menu comes up fine when i press ctrl+space, and i can select the units fine as well. But i cannot under any circumstance tell them to do anything. I click "set waypoint" and nothing happens - no confirmation from the unit, no action just silence and nothing else.

At first i thought i was just setting it up wrong so i downloaded a template. it did not work either. So i disabled all my mods to see if a mod was somehow breaking it - still no dice. So with all my mods disabled i did the high command tutorial and it didnt work either. The whole time it has been the same problem, this makes me think my arma 2 OA has a bug. Is there anyone else who has encountered this? if so is there a quicker fix than reinstalling everrryyyythhhiiinngnggg?

How about reading what he wrote?

How about keeping your mouth shut unless you can help?

I read what he wrote and have followed his advice, i was simply saying that i had tried redownloading and that i had no idea. So, therefore, im probably going to file a ticket arent I?

[CBA: Community Base Addons for A2, OA and CO]

iv tried redownloading from everywhere i can find cba, still getting this error

my modline is starts with -mod=@CBA;@etc etc

so i ave no idea what in the hell is going wrong

[CBA: Community Base Addons for A2, OA and CO]

i recently updated my ace files an cba through six updater, and now i get an error on startup:

"Inclide file x\cba\addons\main\script_mod.hpp not found"

or the same for "script_macros_common"

tried rolling back to previous versions and still no dice. is this a problem at my end or a cba problem?

any help would be appreciated, cheers

on a side note, is there anyway to force the **player** to be prone?

ive searched but its all about making AI stay prone.

[Stopping the physics of an object]

is it possible to 'freeze' and object in place, so that it doesn't bounce around and move out of its position?

[Having tasks without having a briefing]

how do i create tasks without having a briefing at the start of a mission?

[edit]

scratch that. make it:

how do i hide a task and then have it created at a point during a mission. would i put the task in a script and trigger the script in game?

[Getting units to fire near someone]

also,

if the unit you want shot AT but not HIT, is the opposite side to the shooters (eg. he is blufor, and they are opfor), to avoid him being chosen as a target you can set him to be captive.

see here.

I think this is what you are looking for, scroll down and you'll find the weapons + ammo

[Immobilizing the player]

cheers

[Immobilizing the player]

i want to make the player unable to move once he hits a trigger

how do i go about doing this?

[Getting units to fire near someone]

i dont know about disabling the commander, but you could place and empty m1a1 then put two crewmen near it. then follow:

crewman 1's init line: this moveindriver tank (tank being the name of the m1a1)

crewman 2's init line: this moveingunner tank

you might have to add a loader as well, but this way there is no commander

use your doTarget and doFire commands on the gunner and driver i suppose.

i am not sure if this is the best way to do it, if anyone else knows one im all ears

[Getting units to fire near someone]

if you have ACE then in side:empty there is a class called AE Invisible Targets. It has lots of choices in there:

Infantry/heavy armour etc target blufor/opfor/civilian etc

[Getting units to fire near someone]

i think there are invisible targets in the side:empty, ive only ever tested them, but they seem to work.

hope that helps

[How do I make units talk?]

i have tried everything and i cannot get units to talk... i have tried everything in this thread more than once but i get nothing. No error, just no radio subtitles.

would you happen to know how to trigger an autosave. I have a feeling this is right under my nose but i searched and couldnt find anything.

[Renaming the player]

is there a way to rename the player, other than the profile name?

eg. in the campaign you are "Ben Herrera" etc.

[Zoom Bug]

when i am not in a vehicle, my fov is really small which makes the camera zoom in. i can only see from about chest up when in 3rd person, and in first person i can only see the very front of the gun.

if i double hit zoom out then it zooms out way too far and the screen looks stretched, so that cannot fix the problem.

any ideas?
