Eagle7421

I am trying to make a mission with all the streetlights in a town turned off. I do not want to have to shoot out the lights I want them to be all turned off when I arrive. How would I go about doing that?

Konrad, In the beginning of a mission I made I did this. The way I did it I made a bunch of invisible markers named explosiion 1 2 3 and so on. Then I put this in the init line of a trigger I think (I can't look at the mission anymore because ace updated) bomb = ""Bo_GBU12_LGB"" createVehicle getmarkerPos ""explosion1""; bomb = ""Bo_GBU12_LGB"" createVehicle getmarkerPos ""explosion2""; bomb = ""Bo_GBU12_LGB"" createVehicle getmarkerPos ""explosion3""; bomb = ""Bo_GBU12_LGB"" createVehicle getmarkerPos ""explosion4"";

Thank you, I knew there had to be a simple answer.

I am trying to make a plane delete itself after a 15 second flyover at the start of the mission using {deleteVehicle _x} forEach crew av; deleteVehicle av; Where av is the plane name. How would I make it wait to do this?

I am trying to make a destroyed base. How do I make the barracks and bunkers damaged or destroyed? I tried setting health to 0 but the barracks looked the same. Thanks

I really enjoy playing Arma 2 when I am just another grunt on the battle field. Are there any missions where I do not have to command a squad? Thanks for your help.

Sorry I didn't mention this but I am still on plain Arma 2

I am new to Arma2 modding and I need basic information that I have somehow completely missed. How do I make a .PBO file into something readable? Or whatever files are needed to make it so I can edit the config files (which I am assuming are part of the pbo because I don't see tham anywhere).

Pretty awesome!!! The scope looked like I was actually looking down a tube not just a flat thing with a hole. It was amazing. Only problem is the loss of color :(

Worked fine on my XP

ok I extracted them all to a folder. What program do I use to edit the config.bin files? Thanks for all your help so far.

Thank you Myke. I get the pbo structure now. Fuzzy: I have the De-PBO thing but if I click on view nothing happens for any of the files.

How do I switch to a different member of the squad? I keep hearing people talk about switching to the AT guy to take out a tank. How do I do this?
