that would solve the moving to the next fire support location but it wont stop them chasing the enemy while in fire support. I was thinking about making the drivers get out & hide!! my next idea is to use them with the high command, just to see if that works better.

Hi guys, ive been trying to figure this out for around a month now & no joy. Im either asking the wrong questions in google or on forums or its not possible, but i need a work around please. My mission is this: I have 2 jackals that are ai controlled. they follow their waypoints no probs. however, i want to use them in a fsg role supporting my infantry from a pre planned point. I can get them there, i set them a HOLD waypoint where i want them to STAY & engage the enemy, then once a trigger has indicated the area is clear then i want them to move onto their next fsg position. The problems are: once at the hold waypoint either 1 or both of them chase enemy around the battlefield & get killed by the odd RPG there. I NEED them to stay put!!!! Then the trigger activates saying area clear & i need them to move on to their next HOLD waypoint but they wont. Ive tried syncing triggers with their hold waypoints to switch it back to a move waypoint but it wont work. I think im either not doing it right or my ai are very lazy!!! Could someone please help me with this? Many many thanks in advance Andy

Thank you very much Sander. Have you seen the vehicle cargo chart mate? Do you understand or know much about the vehicle slots? Thanks once again. I kept trying to search ammo class names for the Jackal but kept failing. Andy

Hi folks, im so so sorry if this is on the site somewhere. I've been trying to find the answer to my question for about a week now & i just cant find it. I hope someone can point me to where i can find it & show me where i'm going wrong. Im trying to fill all the magazine slots of the BAF_Jackal2_L2A1 with the ammo it needs but not matter how i word it i just cant find the magazines for the top gun. Please could someone show me what im doing wrong? Many many thanks in advance Andy

Thanks guys.

Hi folks can someone advise me please? Im making a tour on a map i have & i was wandering if i write down exactly what im trying to do if some kind people could either write down how i do it or point me to where i can find easy to understand instructions? My "tour" will last for a few months & i will save my progress as the tour goes along!!!! I need to: 1) Have random enemies spawned throughout the tour - random amounts of enemies but must be something like insurgants & Taki mil only. NO AIR. I need the spawning area all over where i will play but not in my camps, or within say 300m of my player in any direction 2) Civvies spawned - I think ive sorted this with an ace CIV module ive just downloaded 3) Random weather - what is the best way of doing this? 4) dead bodies to leave the game after say 2hrs? 5) Random IED's - is it possible to have them randomly placed around the towns & on roads so i have to deal with them? 6) I will be wanting to save my game as i go along & also is it possible to put an end date for the game to end? 7) Whats the best way of getting my AI to do first aid in the field ( i would like it be be realistic if possible) 8) My BAF to respawn back at my main base (NOT AT MY FOB) & when there is enough of them to board a chopper that would take them to my FOB & once they are there they would join my team. Many thanks for any help folks Andy

Hi mate, do you mean a transport container? I was watching an arma vid on youtube & on there they are loading loads of ammo boxes & loads of sacks of food into a chinook, then the chinook flies to the FOB & they then unload the cargo using the ace interaction key. They then after unloading it, load it into a humma or ammo truck to move it around the FOB. Thats what im trying to replicate - main base has the stores, then i load what i want onto the chopper then unload it at my base Andy

Hi guy, could someone please answer a question please? 1) im trying to load baf ammo boxes into either baf land rover or chinook but when i look at it & interact with it, it tell me baf ammo box, then underneath it says "load into.....", but thats grayed out & i cant load anything in any vehicle. What am i doing wrong folks? many thanks in advance Andy

It launches from the desktop short cut but i mainly use the arma launcher to launch the game mate

Steam? Im not sure what you mean Charles, Ive not included steam with any of my games. The only thing that was downloaded was the BAF pack from gamers gate mate

Hi guys, im after some advice please I have installed arma 2, OA & BAF & my computer gives me the option to play combined ops. Nothing wrong with that! However my game is unstable & constantly crashes & keeps telling my that Arms 2 reinforcements has stopped working!!!!!!! Ive not bought that game & when i go to the main arma screen & click on the expansions, there at the top is the reinforcements lite. If i click it i have an option to buy (i dont want to), but i cant un select it. How can i stop it from loading up & where did it come from guys. Getting really frustrated as i cant play arma with this going on. Can someone please help? Andy:confused:

Hi guys I have a static fuel tank in my base & i was wandering if its possible to fill it with fuel, then to use the tanker as you would a fuel truck to re-fuel vehicles? Thanks in advance Andy

Hello everyone. I am in need of help. I've been having issues for sometime with ARMA2 CO. Yesterday i decided to uninstall everything and re-install it. I also downloaded six updater and ARMA 2 Launcher. i've only added a few mods and addons and they are showing as present in my missions editor. 6updater said it has updated ACE but it still shows in the game as needing a newer version and to top it all of ACE isn't even loading/working even though it is within the target and on the launcher. I have assigned the right keys for interaction but no options are appearing and i have altered the client config to my profile name. I'm really pulling my hair out and just don't no what to do. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance Andy

Hi guys i hope ive posted this in the right place. Anyway, after installing ace2 im unable to move or drag cargo or hook the sling rope. Have i got to edit a file in the config bit & also where do i find the cfgVehicles? Many thanks in advance Andy

Thanks guys for the replies. i was watching operation thunderstruck on youtube & saw it & thought wow. I have ace2 installed but like a dumb ass i cant use it for some reason. Maybe i should reinstal it! My "apps" key works but not my windows key in arma & no matter how i try i dont get the option to move, drag, load or unload anything. I cant even use the sling rope after taking it from the box. Thats why i was asking as i wernt able to perform the tasks. As you guys can tell im kinda a verb new noob with all this. Anyway, thanks again Robster & Kylania for your help Andy
