Hey neokika, sorry about the late reply. Could you please explain what you mean by it only works for units. Do you mean that this command only works say, if I were to put a soldier on a map and have this this addCamShake [10,10,10] in his init line. Just to clarify I saw this command on the BIS wiki thing; http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/addCamShake

g'day guys, I have created an intro using camer.sqs and I have saved it to my Mission folder as RunCUTSCENE1.sqf. In my mission editor I opened the intro mode by clicking the box in the top right corner of the screen and placed a player controlled character with all the other bits and pieces that make up the intro. The player controlled charcater in the intro is what I use to execute my cutscene; he has this exec RunCUTSCENE1.sqf in his init field. For simplicities sake I have cut out most of the pictures in the cutscene. ;=== BY THE AIRSTRIP ;=== 20:17:07 _camera = "camera" camCreate [0,0,0] _camera camPrepareTarget [-76329.51,-56503.08,-63.87] _camera camPreparePos [3381.24,3880.66,1.34] _camera camPrepareFOV 0.700 _camera camCommitPrepared 0 _camera cameraEffect ["internal", "back"] @camCommitted _camera ;=== OVER THE AIRSTRIP ;=== 20:19:33 _camera camPrepareTarget [60320.04,86086.62,-98.88] _camera camPreparePos [3420.99,3854.94,10.56] _camera camPrepareFOV 0.700 _camera camCommitPrepared 25 @camCommitted _camera player cameraEffect ["Terminate","back"] camDestroy _camera exit; I also have a player controlled character in the mission mode of the editor (hes chillin in a c130 3000 ft above the ground, with a scar mk16 mod 0, just waiting to kick some ass) but I can't get back to him. When the last camera shot finishes playing nothing happens the screen remains completely static and I have to quit using the game menu. Please, Please, PLEASE someone help me with this. I have been working on it on and off for almost a month now; also I have searched every single possible post, video, tutorial and website on this topic and I have tried about a hundred different approaches and none of them work. Ive been up all night working on this I gotta go get some sleep, so I might not be able to answer any questions straight away. thanks in advance,

I tried both steps you wrote here and I still can't get this to work. Naming the file "initIntro" did not mean I did not need to call it anymore and using "endMission" takes me right back to the editor. I can't this thing to work, c'mon someone has to know how to do this.

G'day guys, I need to make the c130 look and feel believable. Does anyone know of a way to create engine, wind turbulence noises and possibly movement for the static c130? In the ArmA 2 OA Halo boot camp tutorial, they have managed to do this and it certainly fooled me (until I looked at the map and saw that I wasn't going anywhere). Ive tried to fit in enough information here but Ill make sure I follow up any further questions you guys have. As always, any helps much appreciated. cheers,

Ok this reply is inexcusably late I know; but just for completeness thanks heaps, you guys never let me down, joining this forum was a damn good choice

I dont want to sound ungrateful but if I could get an example or just a few tips that would be better as I can't download right now. thanks anway

What does it stand for? I've never really noticed, I've had the game about 3 months now and its great; but I'm completely oblivious as to what arma actually stands for. thanks,

cheers everyone for your answes. I read that article; so it started off as armed assault then was adopted into the latin to avoid sounding cliche. You know what, it easily could of been something like - operation thunderstike force battleshock troopers call of destroy and smash things - just like all the other titles out there but wheres the originality in that? I prefer the latin arma as the name, its more unique

Is it possible to download different types of jets as there only seems to be one; the A-10. I ask this because I've seen screenshots with F-35's and if it is somehow possible to get these on OA that would be great. thanks,

thanks, I checked out the addons and mods forum, its amazing how you don't see whats right under your nose sometimes :P and I think I'll consider getting arma 2 ( it was sold out and thats why I got OA )

sorry wasn't specific enough, I just got a copy of arma 2 operation arrowhead and in this there is only one jet the A-10. Damn would I like to fly an f35 so if anyone knows if there is a way to export the jets on arma 2 to arma 2 oa that'd be bloody beautiful.

thanks for going to all the trouble mate. BIS left those last few lines at the bottom out of the video, probably why my mission wasn't working.

Bloody hell, I should probably start posting all my problems on this site :) You always get your questions answered and perfectly thanks heaps fellas

I'm new here and I've got a lot of questions to ask about the ARMA 2 OA editor. When I go to the Editor forum and try to post a question I'm told I do not have sufficient priveliges to post my question there. If anyone could tell me what I can do to get the clearance to start posting in forums like this one it would be much appreciated. cheers.

First up, I'm new to this game and this forum, so hi everyone :) I am actually a huge fan of OFP2 and I never payed much attention to ARMA. Now I got my own copy about a week ago, I have had a great time with it and I'm really enjoying myself. So why am I here? I have found the mission editor seriously confusing. I've tried to narrow it down to one main thing that has been bothering. You are all probably familiar with the 2 part IED tutorial by BI on youtube. Well I found this a great place to start but I am at a loss as to how to open the 'functions manager' or 'config viewer'. I'm not really sure what these things do but the guy on the tutorial used the functions within it to create the explosion of the IED in his mission. Any help would be much appreciated and I am new to this so sorry if I'm a little slow to catch on. - by the way sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place, but the site wouldn't allow me to post in anywhere else. Cheers,

this reply is kinda late, slept in this morning... Thanks heaps everyone, and CarlGustaffa your solution got the functions manager up and running. I will also check out these links some of you posted. Thanks again,
