Mission start

How can I start the mission like the showcases? I mean the view from the sky?

0 = [player, "Alone on the beach, a young man dreams of love.",80,nil,270,1] spawn BIS_fnc_establishingShot;

See it in action here.

Thanks, one question...how do you know all of these things? I mean, I'm studying c++ at school and things like that so I have the basics but it seems like you know the entire .sqf language or whatever its name is :p

Been messing with this stuff for over a decade now and work in IT so have a lot of time to browse the forums. :) So, basically I have no life so therefore know this stuff. heh That PBO I linked has a lot of examples of all the Mission Presentation stuff in it.

Yup, thanks again for the help!

yea, he's awesome, and the syntax King :bounce3: So what you do is add him on steam and bug him all day like i do. lol

If you don't mind me borrowing this thread on the topic of mission starts ^^ - Would you also know how you, just like in the showcases, display a static picture with some text on the side?

The showcase stuff is a video played via BIS_fnc_titleCard:

//Initial showcase video
"a3\missions_f_beta\video\SUPPORTS.ogv" spawn BIS_fnc_titlecard;
