Hi all, just spent the past 2-3 hours looking around for a method to do this, and a few tries in the editor too. Rundown of what I'm looking for, and why: I'm trying to make a training mission for me and my rather small group of Friends (3 of us at the moment heh) where there are 2 in a Helicopter, either Apache or Cobra, and one "Spotter". Training on the lethality of the weapon systems, and for the spotter so they are being as vigilant as they can be. Spotter also has Laser Designator for when/if we wanna change it up a bit and use an A10 or similar. I'm looking for a way to make it so that "the team" get a message (titleText/hint) when a target is killed/destroyed and then to give a number of available targets left. I have tried to use a simple IF statement in the editor but I think (know) I'm doing it wrong, I just don't understand how to make my own variable's and then add them into the IF statement. Anything that I think of like deadcount=1; if deadcount=1 etc just gives me error's in the editor, asking for extra ";", which if I add does nothing (as in, the editor accepts them, but the expected behavior is not observed). I have a horrible feeling the first reply is going to point me directly at the thread I need :j: . Thanks for your time, Matt.

First of all, I'd like to say thank you for such a brilliant addon, really does help with the immersion and feel of the game, amazing work. While testing the Mod on the continous warfare maps (Takistan 24 player, with AI and no other human players) my OA seems to crash and it's only done this since I added this addon. Seems to be a random crash, but each time the game is trying to play a sound I think, or is in the process of playing a sound (last crash, I had an M1 Abrams driving past me while I was on foot, no other sounds). I have tried removing and re-adding the addon, removing and/or changing the location of the sonic cracks (a little confused as to which folder they should be in?). I am not using the ACE Mod at all, and have removed that folder entirely as it says in the readme. I am running Arma2 under Combined Operations via Steam (used the Armaholic FAQ and using Mod Folders, launch options/command line edited to suit) Quite a frustrating problem as I can't re-create it accurately, it just seems to happen every so often. Even when in heavy combat, tanks and APC's all firing at each other and me the game is fine, then a small sound later, maybe a reload or a vehicle starting it's engine and it crashes. The crash has no error message it's just a windows Vista "This program has stopped responding" with a wait or close button, no other message that I can see. Keep up the good work otherwise, amazing job! Regards, Matt
