[edit]

Mission rotation

One can set an automatic mission rotation. It will automatically select a mission join a player joins with no admin logged in. Once the mission is done and still players on the server, it automatically switches to the next in the cycle.

[edit]

ArmA

The following example shows one for the missions included with the demo.

class Missions

{

class MPCTF_01// name for the mission, can be anything

{

template = M02CaptureTheFlag.SaraLite;// omit the .pbo suffix

cadetMode = 1;// difficulty 0=veteran 1=cadet

};

class MPCOOP_01

{

template = M01Cooperative.SaraLite;

cadetMode = 1;

};

class MPCTI_01

{

template = M03ConquerTheIsland.SaraLite;

cadetMode = 1;

};

};
