no scripts involved, its all done in the editor. When exporting it to single player mission, it works. But as multiplayer mission it doesnt..

Intros created in the editor don't work in multiplayer.  If you want an intro in multi you have to use scripts

Bit of a correction here...

Intros do not work in multiplayer full stop. It doesn't matter if they're scripted or editor driven.

It is possible to have a cutscene at the start of the mission, but the 'intro' section of the editor is skipped in MP.

Van Gogh, I found this out a bit late myself. My workaround via help from MacGuba and others was to copy and paste the elements from the intro into the mission itself and just have triggers activate it at the start of the mission.  

   Scripting it is more reliable , but you can get something to work this way. After the "intro" is finished, you can have a trigger to deletevehicle all unnecessary vehicles, objects, units, etc. to help ease lag in your game. Hope that helps!  ;D
