Good evening. I've been messing around with the Mission editor for ARMA 2 (base game, haven't looked at OA yet), and I've been starting small, trying to basically put together a quick, simple night-time raid on a supply depot on the Utes map.
I've been able to figure out how to set up some patrols, place units on the map and put in a victory condition (blowing up said depot), now I'm trying to get some scripted events in, and am having issues.
I'm trying to get two Blue Force characters in, piloting a CRRC in to the coastline, guided by two waypoints from the carrier. I want them to both be Force Recon soldiers (Team Leader and Demolitions Specialist), with the team leader driving and the demo spec. "in cargo".
While I can easily get them both in cargo with a 3rd soldier driving, or have the player drive as whatever the default crewman is, I cannot get it to specify which soldier class I wish to have driving, and the waypoints appear to be stuck under water, and are effectively unusable.
I have attempted using triggers to place soldiers into an empty CRRC (using assignDriver/Cargo commands), which didn't work (or didn't trigger, I'm unsure), attempted to use the assignDriver/Cargo in the character's individual 'initialization' sections, to no success.
I am not a programmer, and have no SQS or SQF experience. (Just some VB and C++ from years ago) If anyone could help me get on my feet with a resource with more explanation for laymen than the Arma wiki, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.
The names of the units, in case it helps if you wish to assist me with an example.
Team Leader: bluforOne
Demo Specialist: bluforTwo
CRRC: bluforTransport
