question 1..
how do u get men to parachute out of a chinook helicopter?
p.s. i have gold upgrade and i saw them do this in one of the missions in gold upgrade
questin 2...
how do u get to the place where you create briefings and pick the gear your guy can have or cant have?
p.s. yes i am sort of a nooby at map editer ;)
-
to make men parachute, make a trigger, and put it to activation "alpha"
in the init field put; [soldier1, soldier2, soldier3, etc.] action ["eject"]
for selection of wepaons from the briefing, you gotta write a description.ext file, which i do not know how to do yet, there are a few tutorails out so far.
BTW, dont worry, we were all newbs once, im just beginning to grow out of that stage, but youll learn quickly, stick with it. :afro: :thumbsup: :wave:

Question 2:
You can also make ammo and weapon boxes from where your men can pick up weapons an ammo. Men can drop their current weapon and pick new one.
Works best wiht playable men, but can be done by AI:s also
-
question2 :
you can put in your mission folder the file ini.sqs which is executed when the mission's loaded. In this file you can write
man removeWeapon "weaponname"
man removemagazine "weapnname"
man addweapon "weaponname"
man addmagazine "weaponname"
so you create your customized equipment.
-
To allow you to actually choose weapon loadout in the briefing you need to have a description file (just a text file called description.ext). There are lots of things you can do with this file, below is an example of how to allow weapon selection. Remember though that you will only be allowed to select gear if you are the group leader

if you hunt around you should be able to find the names of the new resistance weapons and magazines.
