This may sound stupid, but i've looked through alot of stuff and can't find a way so that at the start of a mission it gives you the option of choosing you and yuor squads weapons. Please help???

SIMPLE  ;D !!!

First, you must be the squad leader (or alone). Second, in your mission folder you must have a text file named description.ext. This file can a certain number of things, but for weapons and ammo it's (example) :

//type commentaries here

class Weapons
{
class Binocular
{
count = 2;
};
class M21
{
count = 1;
};
};

//and the ammo

class Magazines
{
class M21
{
count = 9;
};
};



DONE ! :toocool:

There are tutorials on description.ext in the Ed Depot.    And/or you can download the Tutorial Mission and use the description.ext in there as a template.      You'll also need the weapons and ammo listing from tutorials - references.

i agree with rhysduk

CHOFPSE is an easy to use script editor which gives you also a few very helpful wizards at hand.
Especially the Briefing, Overview and Description Wizards are a great help. Give it a try and i'll bet you'll love it.
