evilarma

Thank you I will. I restarted the game and now the action menu is showing the explosives but I cant order my ai to place it on the tower. They just place it on the ground in front of wherever their standing at the time but it doesnt destroy the tower when it goes off.

Im not sure where to put this and I have searched everywhere for an answer with no luck so here it goes. Im playing a mod called whole lotta stratis and there's a part where you have to destroy an antenna but I cant get my AI to place a charge. Even when I try to take the charges from him and do it myself there is no action for placing it. My question is how do you place explosives and more importantly how do you make your AI place explosives. I need to know so I can figure out if I'm an idiot or if there's something wrong with the game. I assume if I or my AI has what is needed there should be an option in the action menu to make them place the charge. I tried just dropping a charge on the ground but then it just seemed to disappear. I love this game but there is to much going on for bohemia not to have detailed tutorials or a better boot camp. 75 percent of the time when I search google for answers to things Ill find info on whether or not something can be done and in what circumstances it can be done but absolutely no info at all on how its done like what combination of frigging buttons to push to make shit happen. I have the Arma 3 Tactical Guide and its 350 pages long but no where in the entire thing does it say anything about how to actually do anything. Its frustrating as hell because I love this game but I'm so busy with my little girl and work that I cant spend an unlimited number of hours trying to blindly figure everything out like the devs apparently want you to do. I would very much appreciate any help. Thank you.

I don't think you could go to in depth. It wouldn't just be extremely helpful to new players but it could also be extremely fun if done right. With everything going on in ARMA you could almost make a whole campaign out of it. I am extremely surprised no one has come fourth and done it yet. A split between a traditional boot camp setting and then specific missions for each type of play and game mechanic would be unbelievably awesome. Like a bunch of mini games. Someone please step up for the community. There's just to much going on for someone like me to learn who is trying to juggle an intensely dangerous job and a 1 year old daughter while studying to try and get out of my intensely dangerous job all on top of trying to keep the mortgage and bills paid. I need help with this game. The ARMA 2 boot camp was ok but it didn't explain some things very well and it was assumed a lot that the player already new important details going in that fresh players just couldn't know.
