Evenin'.
Starting a thread for people who want to ask questions for people who have ArmA2. I know some people here have, so I'll start Please remeber to use spoiler tags: Soylent Green is People, when posting information about the campaign. How are the factions set up in the editor? Is it the classic East/West/Resistance/Civilian, or do we have 6 distinct factions? If the latter, is there a way to set up alliances without using the setfriend command? -------------------- The Rules - Nothing too complicated, follow these and we'll have no problems.

Thanks Andre.
I also have another question about the attachTo command, after discovering it. Is it possible to attach humans into vehicles' cargo so they'd be able to shoot while traveling? |

You're welcome I have not seen this by default nor in the missions.Maybe it is possible by scripting but I have to find out...but I do not think so. But the BMP3 has multiple gunner seats,it is called "left gunner" & "right gunner" and you can use a stationary PK at an angle arround 30° to 40° -------------------- |

No its not in, A long time ago it was planned, but i think i remember BIS saying they wernt going to implement it quite a while ago. Its more than likely that it could work with scripting, after all people got it working in OFP be it with some slight issues.

Its more than likely that it could work with scripting, after all people got it working in OFP be it with some slight issues. Actually this is possible with the attchto command (I think this is what Rellikki was asking about). You can attach soldiers to any vehicle, and even animals, though there's not a good horse addon yet, and there's no way to control how animals move short of taking direct control of the animal itself. You'll need to set the deadzone right up when attached to a vehicle, as you can't turn, also for some reason you can't reload when attached to stuff. I think you could set up a reloading system through scripting if you had enough time though. @AndreACE: I probably could... but... well... it'd take effort... and... well... I'm too lazy EDIT: Curse you Benoist and your ninja posting!
