Hello You can place AI mortars but they dont fire. Any way to get them to engage enemys or set then to fire with in a certain radius?

Hello Any way have making AI set traps in woodland areas or road mines?

Hi Iv had a look at this but all i can find is how to use the Mortar. Is there any way to have Enemy AI fire motar rounds in a certain area. Also is it possible to add disassembled weapons to units. Like the Static GMP or mortars.

Cheers Anyone have any ideas about the Mp5 issue

I have PMC weapon class names... AA12_PMC m8_carbine_pmc m8_carbine m8_carbineGL m8_compact m8_compact_pmc m8_holo_sd m8_SAW m8_sharpshooter m8_tws m8_tws_sd these should be all good

Hi How can i add weapons in helicopters that ALL players can access. I have added weapons in using `this addweapon cargo` command but only i can view the gear in coop missions i have created? I played 2 player coop

Hi So iv just bought the PMC expansion and now if i add the MP5A5 or MP5SD weapon to a unit the weapon appears to be there i can fire it and everything but its invisible on the player. he appears to be holding it but you cant see it. Anyone else having this issue? Also has anyone come across a weapons class list for PMC

thank you or your reply. i have tried several different methods i have found on the net and none of them seem to be appropiate for my mission.

Hi anyone know how i can airdrop a few vechiles at the start of a mission. Im wanting a C130 to paradrop 4 ATVs. cheers dave

I have this code for the init.sqf etc but im not sure what to do with it to get it working. The code for the init.sqf however it is using publicvariables and i dont have a clue how to use these or how they work. i wouldnt know where to start mark the task off as complete. But this does display all tasks for all the charactors with respawning if you are killed and team switching. blueforUnits = [p1,p2]; _tskobj_2 = []; {_tskobj_2 = _tskobj_2 + [_x createSimpleTask ["Eliminate the enemy from the camp"]];} forEach blueforUnits; for "_i" from 0 to ((count _tskobj_2)-1) do { (_tskobj_2 select _i) setSimpleTaskDescription ["Find the Camp and take out the enemy units", "Eliminate the enemy camp", "The Camp"]; }; _tskobj_2 spawn { waitUntil {campclear}; for "_i" from 0 to ((count _this)-1) do { (_this select _i) setTaskState "Succeeded"; }; };

Iv found another way of doing this. The code for the init.sqf however it is using publicvariables and i dont have a clue how to use these or how they work. i wouldnt know where to start mark the task off as complete. But this does display for all the charactors with respawning if you are killed and team switching. blueforUnits = [p1,p2]; _tskobj_2 = []; {_tskobj_2 = _tskobj_2 + [_x createSimpleTask ["Eliminate the Mass grave camp"]];} forEach blueforUnits; for "_i" from 0 to ((count _tskobj_2)-1) do { (_tskobj_2 select _i) setSimpleTaskDescription ["Find the Camp and take out the enemy units", "Eliminate the enemy camp", "The Camp"]; }; _tskobj_2 spawn { waitUntil {campclear}; for "_i" from 0 to ((count _this)-1) do { (_this select _i) setTaskState "Succeeded"; }; };

Hi, Im new to arma and to mission editing, I love the game but im having some issue with creating my own missions. Firstly i have created my own briefing.sqf with set tasks/objectives. How ever i have two squads and if i am killed and i respawn into a playable AI squad memeber the mission briefing disappears. I have managed to get this working slightly as i managed to get the briefing to display on respawn but if i had completed an objective it wouldnt update the green marker tag to say it had alreay been completed. So i just gave up and left the briefing as before. I play this mission with a friend who controls the other squad. heres the briefing. /* * Mikey's Briefing Template v0.03 * * * Notes: * - Use the tsk prefix for any tasks you add.

The othe issue i have is my insertion is via TWO helicopters and iv copied the tutorial >>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgwHR...eature=related this applied to both choppers. However if my friend contols the second squad the heli will just hover over the landing. If i play on my own and control either of the squads both helicopters land. if i control the squad he normally controls it will land for me and the chopper wont when he controls my usual squad. Iv sent him the mission and it will work for him and not for me.
