A super basic ArmA 2 editor guide showing you a few of the things I use to create scenarios. I don't know everything there is to know about the editor, this is just me passing on some of what I've learned so far.

You can honestly never get bored with the Arma 2 editor, so good.

@cinemadario 10 лет назад

MOST SIMPLE way of a quick firefight ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! -Place 4 groups on each side! -Give those groups only one waypoint (chose Guard waypoint, you can put it right in front of the group) That's it! Just go and pick a fight...any group with a "Guard" waypoint will move to the location of the fight...if you start fighting some where else they will move there too! You can place a helicopter on the other side of the map, as soon as the fight starts he will move to the location of the fight Remember...all you need is one waypoint for each group a "Guard" waypoint

@15RoyalFlush 12 лет назад

To delete a single unit, hover over the unit with your cursor until the name appears, then press the delete key. As for grouping, you can only link people to you if you are a higher ranking unit. Thumbs up so he can see.

I honestly spend more time on the editor than playing the game. It's great. Once I've perfected the scenario I try it once and make a new one. Aha. Amazing the amount you can do. I've been wandering if you can make a unit group and copy and past it repeatedly? Anyone know? Oh and if you don't have Arma 2 or Arrow head, If you're going to get one I couldn't possibly suggest which to get, they are both as goodfas each other but original being based on USMC vs Russia and Arrowhead is U.S. Army vs op-for insurgents in desert maps.There is the editor in both.

@nicob.2641 9 лет назад

Jacob hey dude! To answer your copy past thing all you need to do is: Copy the unit by click holding and dragging the little green box over top of the troops you want to copy, then click ctrl + c will copy and then ctrl + v will spawn it. Plus if you ever want somone to play or even test one of your maps I would love to!

@VickeLang 12 лет назад

when you create a unit select none in "special" where its sais "In Formation" by default. also if u want an helicopter to spawn in the air select "flying"

@rileykenyon3626 10 лет назад

Great Video, one of the most helpful mini guides i've found on RU-vid. You've most definitely been told this by now but to delete individul units or groups hold DEL (delete) and move your cursor over the unit you would like to delete. :p nice video!

@stlknowswhy 10 лет назад

To clear one unit, hover over an object and click delete on the keyboard

@patriots1225 12 лет назад

I like how Sidestrafe actually responds to his viewers!

@michaelbruin6681 9 лет назад

Thanks for demystifying that! I found you can delete individual objects by just hovering the marker over them and hitting delete.

@BLACKYTICO 10 лет назад

Thanks my friend for video so special.the editor its amazing,we cant use everything at there.hello from Costa Rica,***

@Lunchyyy 12 лет назад

The sense of pride in that outro!

@zenoist2 11 лет назад

When you have it running well its good fun to select EVERYTHING and drag it to a different town or location. It usually needs tweaking though.

@skuggdans 11 лет назад

I like this video, thanks a lot, SideStrafe. :) Also, I think it's very impressive to comment for 25 minutes straight and being on point all the time.

@CopGunGuy 12 лет назад

Great tutorial on the basics. Regarding deleting individual units, for me all I have to do is put the cursor over whoever I want to delete and press the delete key, I'm not sure but maybe you have to select them first.

@kelog111 11 лет назад

I have just started playing arma 2 and this is a great editor video ty

@ivangavrilovic4926 9 лет назад

i made some awesome missions thanks to this tutorial and i enjoy them much :) gj man

@sirjogs 12 лет назад

Thank you! ive been needing this

@ChaplainDMK 12 лет назад

Actually, you can get some really great scenarios going by just using the synchronise system for waypoints, some basic trigers and "x moveingcargo y" command. (x being the unit name of the unit moved into the y units cargo) This way you can for example create a mission where you are deployed via helo with music being triggered, and have a parallel squad have a synchronised attack on a location with you.

@DrMeowsif 9 лет назад

Idk if you figured it out yet, probably, but I hover over the unit then press the delete button and that seems to work, hover with mouse, press delete button

@TheFoxxyGrandpa 12 лет назад

By hovering over them i mean you have to have the black dialogue box telling you what unit it is to delete it, you can have your cursor somewhat over the tank and hit delete.

@sergeantshizzle 12 лет назад

Set formation to column. Making a convoy mission in ArmA has always been tedious but there are scripts you can use to make the convoy very robust. ArmA 3 is having a big layout change which could mean that it's easier to manage things like convoys.

@WinchesterDelta1 12 лет назад

Hey sidestrafe. To group and ungroup units select groups with F2 click and hold the unit you want to group or ungroup and drag the line to any unit in a particular group to group it, or into nothing to ungroup.

@SideStrafe 12 лет назад

Enter key on the number pad depending on the difficulty level set.

@NotHisRealName 12 лет назад

Hey @SideStrafe, if you're loving Arma2, you might want to consider getting a Track IR headset. It takes a little bit to get used to, but after a while, it makes moving around the AO so much easier. Especially as far as situational awareness is concerned.

@wowfail6835 9 лет назад

How do you get all those maps

@SideStrafe 12 лет назад

I'll try that, thanks.

@AssistantNick 12 лет назад

SideStrafe, it would be great if you did a video or could include in the description only, what kind of softwares you are using, ie. for recording (Fraps, DxTory), rendering (Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere or even Windows Movie Maker), your export settings etc, because your quality is very good and I am sure more people would like to know.

@01newuser 12 лет назад

It's because they're set to In Formation. Change that setting and you'll see they spawn where you placed them. However, they will want to return to formation once they spawn if they are in your group.

@roman7302o 12 лет назад

To delete the individual units press and hold the delete key while you hover the mouse cursor over the unit.

@TheFoxxyGrandpa 12 лет назад

To delete specific units you just hover over them and hit delete. You can also select a bunch of units at once and hit delete I'm pretty sure.

@bradhunt120 12 лет назад

you may also hit control x and delete al selected units vise versa you may copy by control c and past control v

@MegaTimebomb098 12 лет назад

nice video sidestrafe

@wierdwesterner 12 лет назад

You either have to have them selected or hovering over the unit icon so that you can see the name of the unit i.e. "Rifleman"

@SashaMasonVR 12 лет назад

The Editor is the best part of the whole game.

@Klutzershy755 12 лет назад

Great video man!

@MrYutoob 12 лет назад

a while ago, you were complaining about how the ai bots leave cover. that problem completely goes away with turning on the super ai in the difficulty menu. the linking units things depends on which direction you link units. if you link one unit to another, that's like saying "you follow him". the only thing that changes this is the rank of units. the standard cut, copy, and paste also work here

@MassiveM110 12 лет назад

the enter on the numpad at the side is the default for third person

@sniper321fire 10 лет назад

to clear the unit hit the delete key by the backspace and to clear like all highlighted units shift delete

@MonotoneCreeper 10 лет назад

You delete individual units by highlighting the unit then pressing the delete key when hovering over them.

@zoltrixzoltrix 12 лет назад

You can hold the delete key and hover over the units.

@Ordo250 12 лет назад

And the linking is what the synchronize option is partly used for

@Unknown1355 12 лет назад

If you want OPFOR move when BLUFOR triggers trigger, use syncrhonise tool. Link the trigger to OPFOR's waypoint. OPFOR will move to waypoint when trigger conditions are met. Problems with group tool were that all were under SL's command (AI.) You must detach unit from squad to put him into new squad. Also, basic scripting is useful. Mostly put them to Intilaziation box, there you can start animations, modify loadout and for example set flying height to plane. It's alot of copy-pasting though.

@joshuapierson801 11 лет назад

make sure you are in create unit mode. all you do is select one unit then press the delete key but only for one, click and drag and select multiple units then hold left shift and press delete to delete selected.

@Riyun72 11 лет назад

For BAF I dont have MTP and the woodlands or desert etc isn't well defined. The colours are blurred. Is that a patch or expansion to get those properly? Or some graphics issue because its fine for US or German etc.

@175firefighter 9 лет назад

When I open my mission editor, I don't have any options, in my drop down list(s) to chose from. I can't set a group. I can't set a unit down. I can't do anything in the editor. So where do I need to go to download all the available files, unit types, structures, etc. so that I can utilize my editor. I DO NOT want to create a mission. I am simply trying to build a AI base. Can someone help me please?

@AhemYoYoYoYo 12 лет назад

Hi, really liked the video. Just a quick question: Did you do it in the Arma 2, Operation Arrowhead or the Combined Operations editor?

@ronconr 11 лет назад

You should select the units and press Ctrl+X, which will cut them out. Then if you press Ctrl+V you can paste.

@zolifeher568 9 лет назад

To clear a unit is CTRL X to copy and past is CTRL C and CTRL V

@raioni1059 9 лет назад

+Zoli Feher ctrl+x is cut not delete. If you ctrl+x, then ctrl+v it will move the unit.

@Sverath 12 лет назад

Hey Side, do you know how to increase the Field of View. I just find it kind of annoying when i'm not using my crosshair but my face looks likes its on my gun the entire time, even when its not in thirdperson.

@BlacksVideos 12 лет назад

People, google ''mr murrays editor guide'' and click on any of the first link. Its a PDF file containing everything you need for creating your own missions - both easy and advanced. Thumbs up so people can see.

@MrYutoob 12 лет назад

there is an app that gives links to the bi studios wiki where all the commands are and how to use them. just google armaholic arma2 command lookup

@Supercapy11 10 лет назад

Thanks a lot you have really helped me. You just got a like :)

@underpowerjet 11 лет назад

allows you to preview it....how do you not get it.

@Re_Mecs 11 лет назад

@JAEProductions1 11 лет назад

Sorry I accidently posted the last comment (I'm on iPad) I have Arma II Free but I can not go on campaign and are there are only Utes and Chernarus in the vanilla game? Which DLC is the best?

@netmd6 12 лет назад

Yes, this! Its a bit expensive (and please dont forget to get it with the TrackClip PRO) but it is definitely worth it for ArmA an other games as well.

@diogocarvalho2535 12 лет назад

i changed the button, just go to controls, infantry controls: toggle view( search for it) and there is the button :D Hope it helped

@BceltsRayRAy20 12 лет назад

make sure you have the unit tab selected on the side bar

@1legionary 12 лет назад

do you know were are the chemlights and flares listed?

@TheShadowCamel 12 лет назад

SideStrafe, you have to move your mouse over the unit so that the name of the unit shows, and then click delete

@20electric 12 лет назад

SideStrafe you should have put the scripting wiki in the description or something, it has loads of awesome information about scripting for the mission editor, just google arma 2 scripting and it's the first thing that comes up.

@foster_9984 10 лет назад

you hover over the unit and press the delete key, Idk why it wasn't working for him but its DELETE KEY

@Jegemurk 12 лет назад

im not to good at editor but where it says "condition of presence true" change it to FALSE and it will show up on the editor map but when you load it there will be nothing there aka its invisible but nothing is taking up that space so you can walk through where it should be

@SorensChannel 12 лет назад

Great video as always, will you posting Arma 3 videos when it's released? If so I'd love to play with you

@SideStrafe 12 лет назад

Thank you

@1SpyCrab 12 лет назад

How can you delete that link ? Without placing individual units ?

@ApocalipticToaster 12 лет назад

In british it is in fact Platoon. I don't know what part og the military "section" is must be a TA or special forces thing.

@TehBoss 12 лет назад

lol a good question could be, can his system handle a battle that huge? 50 vs 50 alone pushes mine to the limit, and I have a pretty well specced computer too.

@7U57HTJRYGHG 12 лет назад

everytime the video ends and the music starts it, made me feel very patriotic

@Rangerfull3 12 лет назад

Awesome, you should do a bit more and do like.. tutorial on building defensive positions then test it against a simple OpFor assault.. NOW THAT.. would be cool!

@sahhull 12 лет назад

Delete multiple units.. Select the units and press shift and delete. to selectively select units press CTRL and click on the units you want to select.

@JavaBasher 12 лет назад

Which DLC do you need to have the Canadian Forces? (CDF) I heard you needed a DLC but maybe they're already in the game by default.

@M0L0V 12 лет назад

18:40 To delete a single unit hover the cursor over the unit and hit delete key, deleting a larger squad hold delete key and float your cursor over them like a rain of death.

@tanner5209 9 лет назад

Hey, how do I place Soldiers inside vehicles? I spawned a CH47 and it spawned with only the crew and then I spawned a team and placed myself in carge hoping they'd follow me but they kept walking off. I'm speaking of the AI

@alex1baseball 9 лет назад

If you want the Chinook crew as a separate group from your Fireteam or what not you can put "this moveincargo nameofvehicle;" without the quotes of course, just remember to name the vehicle and put the moveincargo for the units you want in the Vehicle.

@diegojose4173 10 лет назад

i been asking for Editors & Skirmish against bots in FPSs lately, by now only CoD Ghosts allows you to play againts Bots.

@TheDotdotdot0 10 лет назад

did you try fc3? You can also make your own map with ai in skyrim and fallout. I love ames with mao editors and ai.

@yogidrummer333 10 лет назад

you realize most FPS games on PC have editors and bots right? Maybe trade in your console for a PC????

@TheDotdotdot0 10 лет назад

yogidrummer333 i have a gaming rig. I dont have an xbox 360 or ps3. I want something that lets you place your own buildings, maps, etc.

@yogidrummer333 10 лет назад

I dont have a name Oh okay... well Arma allows for placement of structures and what-not, but not for major buildings. You might try the Far Cry series as they allow you to completely modify the terrain and place buildings, but of course it's not as large a setting as Arma, nor does it have the graphics of Call of Duty or Battlefield, but it's still a lot of fun to be able to create just about any type of map you can think of. The future looks bright though and I'm sure someone out there has the same dream as you and many others and is working on something like that. Just keep your eyes open. Hell, there may already be something good like that out there. A lot of these Minecraft-type games are looking hopeful.

@lavon9305 9 лет назад

yogidrummer333 not far cry ..the ai is worth SHIT try CRYSIS the editor is a little more complex but just watch a few videos

@anter176 12 лет назад

You hold the cursor above the unit so you see the name and then press del

if you have dayz can you edit zombies?

@Enelition532 12 лет назад

To delete one unit, you select the unit and press the delete key, the mouse must hover over the unit. To delete a squad select the squad, and press shift and delete, no mouse position required.
