Hey guys,

As i am busy with a mission generator with levelled lead elements i need to know a couple of stuff about current technical stuff for info sharing between units.

At the mometn the full functionality is on paper. If i need the FSM Editor to assist i am yet unsure.

However to get contrete i prepared a couple of questions which i hope you guys can help me answer as i still am uncertain of the direction i wanna go in.

Ingame intelligence questionsCurrently in Arma 2 ingame you can go "talk" to soldiers walking by. You can ask them if they saw someting lately. Seems like there already is a subjective "i know about" information pool. No i dont mean "knowsabout" but i mean fully worked out functionality like in BIS function. Concrete: Does anybody know where i can find this functionality and if you already did take a look, what are your findings?

Is there good and reliable way of asking if a group has had contact except from monitoring it all yourself in a loop?

Is there a good and reliable way of asking where the group/lead has lately seen those contacts (locations), except from monitoring everything yourself in a loop.

Basicly i need to know what has already been done by functions that i am not aware of as when i look in the help BIS functions i see none available. ??

Also the command : Knowsabout and Reveal as i heard are not reliable in Arma 2?

Knowsabout give me info about what unit knows how well about another unit. That is like the world upside down. This mean that I have to figure out all units and ask if he saw that while basicly it should tell ME what he saw. Is there something like that?

==================
Just to add this :
http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/nearTargets

As i gues the HQ Centre is the groups secretary and gathers that intel to be requested by the nearTargets command. This seems a very nifty command.

However how is this list updated? In other words, how actual is the information and when will it be removed from the list? Is that only by confirmed KIA, time ???? I dont mean how can i update that list but how does the AI/Centre maintain that list? I need to know that so i can place its information in perspective.

Anybody knows?
