1. How to place a Player-Unit

Let's start with something that is very easy.

1. Start ARMA 3 and open the Editor.
2. Choose the map Stratis.
3. Move to any location with the mouse + hold right mouse button.
4. Double left-click on the map.

A window pops up.

5. Go to the down-right corner and press 'ok'.

The window disapprears.
The blue dot you see is a unit.
The arrow indicates it's direction.
The red circle around it tells you that this is a PLAYER unit.

6. Now press PREVIEW in the black bar above the map.

The mission loads (slowly) and you play as the unit you just placed.

2. How to change Weather, Time and Date

1. Go to the Weather-Tool (looks like a clouded sun)

You can set behavior of INDEPENDENT units (currently not implemented).
There's actually nothing more to explain here.
Since ARMA 3 the month has an effect on the sunset:
It'll be dark at Dec 11, 4 am but it'll bu sunny on Jun 11, 4 am.

3. How to place an OPFOR unit

1. Double Left-click on the map.
2. Set "Side" to OPFOR.

That's it.

4. How to set a simple waypoint

1. Place a PLAYER unit.
2. Place an OPFOR unit.
3. Left-Click the OPFOR unit to make sure it is activ.
4. Go to the Waypoint-Tool. (looks like footsteps)
5. Double Left-Click where you want the OPFOR unit to go.
6. Press ok and go to PREVIEW.

5. How to set a simple trigger

1. Place a unit
2. Go to the Trigger-Tool
3. Double Left-Click where you want the trigger to be
A window pops up
4. Set Activation to BLUFOR and DETECTED BY BLUFOR
This makes sure that only BLUFOR units will activate the trigger
5. Go to the 'Effects'-Tab at the bottom
6. Set Type to "TEXT", Effect to "PLAIN"
7. Write "Works" in the Text-Line and press ok
8. Press PREVIEW
When you run through the trigger it'll display "Works" on the screen.

6. How to find out weapon classnames on your own

1. Place a unit.

The window you just clicked away will pop up again ;)
3. Put this "this addEventhandler ["fired",{hint format["%1",_this]}]" into the INITIALIZATION of the Unit
4. Press ok and Preview
5. If you fire a weapon ARMA will show you a message like:

"arifle_MX_Hamr_point_grip_F" is the weapon fired and "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag" is the ammo used.

7. How to equip a unit with (another) weapon

1. Place a Civilian Unit (Side = Civilian)
2. Put this into the INIT:

removeAllWeapons this;
this addWeapon "arifle_MX_Hamr_point_grip_F";

3. Press ok and Preview.

You placed an armed civilian

Just wanted to say still works.

bomb = "R_TBG32V_F" createVehicle [(getMarkerPos "bomb1" select 0),( getMarkerPos "bomb1" select 1), 0];

Two bombs one trigger:
bomb = "R_TBG32V_F" createVehicle [(getMarkerPos "bomb1" select 0),( getMarkerPos "bomb1" select 1), 0]; bomb = "R_TBG32V_F" createVehicle [(getMarkerPos "bomb1_1" select 0),( getMarkerPos "bomb1_1" select 1), 0];

Not all ammo works.
For example'
M_NLAW_AT_F, M_NLAW_AT_F work.
Mine_155mm_AMOS_range, ATMine_Range_Ammo doesn't.

Just need to figure out which ones do and which ones cause what size explosions and damage.

Not sure why there is such a delay between the Trigger being activated and the explosion though.

Pineapple Express 24 Thg03, 2021 @ 3:19pm

Why do I have to use a script to make a civilian armed? Can't you just go into the arsenal by right clicking a civilian and then clicking "Edit Loadout" with the gun icon next to it?

bro 23 Thg02, 2021 @ 8:46am

damn good tutorial

[1AD]normannobrot 12 Thg08, 2019 @ 10:19am

these are pretty shit to be fair, basic and still doesn't explain alot. how do you get spotlights to work?

Rachel Slur [tác giả] 25 Thg07, 2016 @ 10:22am

Arma 3 Tools. You can download them in Steam.

Dillpickle1 25 Thg07, 2016 @ 9:36am

Silly question. How do you remove props/buildings that are already built into the map?

MyDude 1 Thg06, 2016 @ 4:10am

Got it working. but i have bigger problems, i used the Hide/Show module on a group of enemys. the way it works is im using Utes, and im also recreating the Trial by Fire mission. the enemies in Strelka work perfectly, but the enemies in that small base on the way to the airfield And the airfield enemies arent hidden, and they shoot the helicopter down while going to the LZ. i can give you the Init of triggers. or the mission file. either way, its annoying, ill see if i can get it fixed tomorrow.

Rachel Slur [tác giả] 30 Thg05, 2016 @ 12:48pm

@SteelBright

Solution on the official forums [forums.bistudio.com] They are using the commands vehicle [community.bistudio.com] and in [community.bistudio.com].

MyDude 29 Thg05, 2016 @ 4:02pm

How do i make it to where, After 10 minutes, a helicopter appears. and goes to an Airfield, and when i enter it. the mission ends. (and of course, have the helicopter wait for me.). Or,

The vehicle appears after 10 minutes. and i get in it, and mission ends? i have the 10 minutes and vehicle. but i dont have the script/init for ending the mission upon entry.

MaticFox 19 Thg01, 2016 @ 9:40am

well the equipment shows blue and after that i can spawn empty units but i cant spawn just a player unit, its gotta be a car of heli or something like that, it wont let me spawn just a player
