Ok, this time please read my post above and answer the questions. Also, I've figured out that by adding a unit in the editor, i can then open up the mission.sqm file to find out that units unique code without the need for that website. Please, how do I create a unit!! you still haven't answered me! Ok look at this in my sqs file: f1 = createGroup west; "US_Soldier_EP1" createUnit [getMarkerPos "base", group f1]; whats wrong with this then ey?

no offence, but that was the most unhelpful reply I've received on a forum. I copied that code STRAIGHT from someone elses forum post in which several others confirmed the code to run properly. Perhaps I didn't clarify enough. I'm running ARMA 2 OA (I dont own ARMA 2 so I don't have the classes/objects from that game). Please help me with the following: 1) The code needed to create a unit from thin air. 2) Somewhere I can find all the internal references to the many objects in the game that can be created. ---Edit--- And one other thing I need strong clarification on: 1) How do I find the NAME of a GROUP 2) How Can I create a group and add units to it. 3) Why don't I see group names/references in the mission.sqm anywhere? And one more thing: 4) If the leader of that group (say a1) dies, and you create a unit as part of that group, how do you then get the new guys group ID/name? 5) The game only seems to allow me to create a unit and add it to an existing group, but the "createGroup" command does jack all. This would probably do it. Regards David

Hi all, I'm about to give up and I've trawled this site and tried different code and no success. I don't move on in complexity until i can get the simple things working: in a file called spawn1.sqs: _grp1 = createGroup west; _man1 = _grp1 createUnit ["SoldierWB", getMarkerPos "base", [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"]; I exec this inside the game using the [] exec "spawn1.sqs" on "RADIO ALPHA". I have a marker named "base" Yet, no man/soldier appears! I'm racking my brain and I can't get this simplest of things to work. please help
