Spent a good 3 hours last night playing with the OFP Elite editor. It
was great fun but there are 5 matters that I just could not resolve.
Someone might be able to help?
a) the ability to load troops onto heli's is unusual. You can load
them on to empty heli's but not those under the option of 'aircraft
groups'. I can't remember the exact name but it includes such
things as 'helicopter transport' and 'guarded helipcopter'. In
fact I cannot find a way to load anything on to these heli's so what
is their purpose? Apart from the pilots there is nothing else in them.
Strangely I discovered that I can load my own troops onto such vehicles
as the 'guarded heli' (even though they do not land) by pointing at
them in the sky and ordering my troops to load on to them. However,
once this is done, I cannot then direct the heli anywhere. It is very
frustrating!
b) Is it not possible to create extra waypoints for myself and my own
troops?
c) How do I call in a support unit. I can't see any option to do
this, and I'm not sure how to create a support unit.
d) I suspect I know the answer to this already but here goes. Is it
possible to have units perform an action during a scenario? For example
if I am transporting troops a distance, before entering a town from the
west, and only want tanks to start rolling in from the east as I enter
the outskirts, is this possible? I suspect any trigger events like this
are not. Surely though this leaves us only be able to create 'instant
action' type scenarios because every action must start the moment we
begin the scenario. Have I missed something here?
e) Lastly, any one know what units take up the most xbox resources, and
cause the most screen stuttering? Created a scenario last night
consisting of a few 'Western' platoons battling a few 'Eastern'
platoons, a coupe of tanks and small armoured units, and a heli patrol.
Once the bullets began flying the frame rate dropped dramatically.
