CfgVehicles...

[Dash5]

What's the best way to place units found in CfgVehicles in the editor? Is there a list somewhere with translations? Some example mission perhaps (a la the OFPECTM face/animation/music viewer)?

[nominesine]

Use the createUnit command, and replace the unit in the example with the cfgVehicle of your choice. A complete listing of all cfgVehicles in ArmA can be found in OFPEC's excellent Comref.

EDIT: Here's an example. Go to the editor, place a radio trigger on the map and write this in the "on activation" field:

Code: [Select]

mySoldier = group player createUnit ["SoldierWB", position player, [], 0, "FORM"]
Activate the trigger and you will have a BLUFOR Rifleman in your group. To see other units, simply replace the SoldierWB-part of the code above with any cfgVehicles-entry from the list I linked to.

Yes, I was just wondering if there was an easier way...most of these objects seem to be written in Czech, and translation is really slow going.

The comref cfgvehicles tree is definitely not in czech......trust me.

Okay. What language is it? Certainly not English.

I wrote it, so it must be in english, I only speak and write in english.

I don't mean to sound rude, but forgive me if I don't believe that domek, podesta, kasárna, budova...etc. are English words. The pictures are very helpful, I was just trying to eliminate all of this trial and error, but thanks for helping!

If you click the nice RED text that represents most entries in the tree, it will show you a nice picture of the item in question.

The czech names are the actual classnames of that item in the config.bin file.
