Hi,
I am making an urban assault mission in ArmA 2 and I have a lot of questions about scripting and other functions, but I tried to narrow it down to a few.
So here they are:
1. I want to set buildings on fire, is that possible in Arma 2? If it is, then how to do it?
2. Basically, I need a chopper to pick up an AI squad, which is not a part of their group. I have figured out a way that an AI chopper will pick ME up, but in order to get it function properly, I need to tell my squad to board the chopper that is in the air. I simply placed a waypoint for the chopper "load" and synced with my "Get in" waypoint and then ordered my men to enter the chopper that is in the air. But I have no idea of how to make it work with an AI squad.
3. I need a script or something of how to make a mission to start and end properly. For example, when player is KIA or all of the objectives are completed.
4. I need aid in placing objectives. I want, that the objective is completed when all the enemies in the town is annihilated and the area secured.
So, as you may see, I know pretty much nothing about scripting. =) I did get some practise in it in the Dragon Rising, but since I thought that the editor sucked, I dropped it. I would really appreciate if someone could tell how to do ANY of those things. All advises are needed! :)
Thank you.
