That's very nice because I hate the Editor Addons as they fill the listboxes with stuff that I never need!

The command you need is createVehicle, look for it in a reference. What you need is a complete list that lists all class names of the buildings (i.e. the unofficial comref which has an object class tree)

I have the unofficial ComRef in .pdf format (Adobe Acrobat).

Gimme your e-mail and I'll send it by the way.

Or I THINK it's in the tutorial section of the editing depot.

What you want to do is grab the Resistance House list (http://www.ofpec.com/editors/tutorial_cat.php?id=3) to get the names of buildings.

Then you simply use:

bld = "buildingname" createvehicle position

To put the building where you want it. You can also use:

bld setdir direction

to rotate it to your satisfaction ;)

Preferably put it in the init so it shows at the start of the mission without a delay.

You can of course alter the sqm file, changing the vehicle to that of a house name and the house name will show instead of the unit you placed in.

well i use civillians placed where i want building to be, then save.
-
then alt-tab out of editor
-
goin to mission folder u just saved
-
and find mission.sqm
-
open it with note pad and find ur civilian in the list and change the vehicle name ie:civilian an change it to building name.
 once u find that list of names of coarse
-
thens save.
-
then go to the editor again using alt-tab
-
and load mission again, so it changes the civy to a building
thats it!!!
-
how ever if u double click the building an hit ok it will change him back to a civy----- which means u gotta go back in an change the .sqm again thats all.
-
hope that explains it ;D
