Cannot place units in Mission Editor

Hey everyone,

Need some help, for some unknown reason I cannot place units in the mission editor. Even when I click on group, waypoint, etc inside the editor I get no menus. Any suggestions.

You mean the 3D editor? In that one you need to start with a logic for each side if im not mistaking. Have a look at these vids i thought it was explained there.

Double-click to place a unit.

Double-click to place a unit.

Dont you just love the simplicity of that!

I wont play a game unless it has an editor, OFP ruined that for me, lol

But I think he meant 3d editor, dont sound like he dont know what hes doing for the 2d editor, or does he?

Don't know, I can only go by what he's written :)

Guys,

I am talking about the default mission editor within ArmA 2. I am pretty expierenced scripting and making missions. This has never happened to me before. Happened after I installed COWarMod, might has something do to with userconfig, dta, etc files.

I double click on the map to try and place a unit nothing, try to go to unit, waypoints, groups, nothing.

Disregard, I can place units now, maybe it has something to do with TrackIR5 which I have read in archived posts.

Wouldn't it make sense to ask me in the COWarMod thread, instead of posting a new thread somewhere,

I dont see how anyone else can help you if they are not familier with COWarMod and its files.

If you have issues with a mod then post in the thread of the mod that you might be or are having issues with,

thats standard procedure.

I had this shit the other week, it is a conflict mostly caused by running trackIR while editing.

Also check in task manager that only one instance of A2 or OA is running.

It's a ball ache ain't it?

I had the same problem with TrackIR 5 running. All I had to do was change the default key bindings in TrackIR 5, because it uses a lot of those function keys by default and takes precedence over Arma2. For example, I changed centering from F5 (or whatever it was) to right windows key.
