Editor Database

If you're looking for further information about editing, scripting or modding, please visit the Biki.

I hope a mod can make this a sticky.
I think it would be a very helpfull thread for every missionmaker and should prevent posts like "whats the classname of the m4?"

Original posted by Sickboy in the 6th sense forum

First part will be ArmA classnames.
Everyone feel free to post more infos here, but no ot questions, please.

Giving the player the ability to switch units (known as team switch) is pretty simple in Armed Assault, and requires only a very basic knowledge of the scripting language.
Commands
There are several commands associated with this feature:
- enableTeamSwitch
- addSwitchableUnit
- teamSwitch
- teamSwitchEnabled
- selectPlayer
- setPlayable
- switchableUnits
- removeSwitchableUnit

addSwitchableUnit:
Adds a single unit to team switch
eg: addSwitchableUnit aP

enableTeamSwitch:
This turns team switch on.
eg: enableTeamSwitch true

teamSwitch
Forces the team switch dialog to appear.
eg: teamSwitch

teamSwitchEnabled
Check if team switch has been turned on.
eg: ?(teamSwitchEnabled) : teamSwitch

selectPlayer
Forces a player to switch to a specific unit.
eg: selectPlayer aP

setPlayable
Makes a unit playable, therefore, entering them into an array of switchable units.
eg: setPlayable aP
note: playable units can also be set in the editor, in the control drop down menu when placing a unit.

switchableUnits
Returns an array of all units eligible for teamswitch.
eg: _x = switchableUnits

removeSwitchableUnit
Removes a unit from the array of switchable units.
eg: removeSwitchableUnit ap

Possibilities
This new features adds quite a few possibilities to the game other than the obvious switching of roles when you die. This feature allows something that many mission creators
begged and wished for in Operation Flashpoint, the ability to change clothes in game.
Have you ever wished you could sneak through a town dressed as a civilian, and then pick up a gun and a uniform when you meet your comrades? Have you ever wished you could take that big, cumbersome ghillie suit off while in town? Have you ever wished you could steal the uniform of a dead foe and pretend to be one of their kind? Well, now you can, and, for all you realists out there, team switch can be disabled on death. So you don't have to worry about switching into other peoples bodies when you die.

Disabling Team Switch On Death
Team switch can be used purely as a role or uniform changing feature. If you wish to allow changing of uniforms or roles without giving the player the advantage of having multiple
lives, there is a simple trick to make this possible.
Create a trigger, change nothing other than the condition and onActivation fields.
In the condition field type: !(alive player)
In the onActivation field type: enableTeamSwitch false
Now you can switch clothes without switching lives.

I agree the Biki is the best place for this, in fact 70% of the stuff mention is already there.

Edit: Ok I pinned this topic. But if you take the time to add good information to this thread then please take the time to add it to the Biki.

**deanosbeano** · Dec 4 2006, 22:58

has anybody found the shell/bullet names yet , someone posted the ofp ones but they dont work in arma ( the problem with the biki its all mixed and not specific arma and ofp seperated).
only one i got to work so far is the "BO_GBU12_LGB"
would appreciate the lesser valued shells if anyone could post them.

**deanosbeano** · Dec 5 2006, 18:32

pls can somebody confirm that these are present in arma ?

i have tried to create them using various means createvehicle camcreate and they dont appear. or am i missing something as usual

.

**Big Dawg KS** · Dec 5 2006, 19:58

Well, naturally, nearly all of those weapons don't have a vehicle to go with them in ArmA, so they probably wouldn't be included. There would probably only be shells for the M1, T72, and possibly the artillery.

Furthermore, you can easily find out the classname of any munition by using the fired eventhandler:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">this addeventhandler ["fired",{hint format ["%1",_this select 4]}][/QUOTE]

Add that to the vehicle then just fire the weapon and the ammo classname will be displayed in a hint.

**Balschoiw** · Dec 16 2006, 14:58

Wrote a little Tutorial on defining unit-identities, including description.ext syntax, editor expressions and explanation of variables for Arma editing newbies.
There´s also a Face-folder in the download that shows all Arma faces with the appropriate facename to use in editor.
Download the zip from my webspace

I also compiled a little template mission for Spotter - Artillery
Make sure you have a look in the readme before complaining about things

Download the template here

If you want to host those files ask for permission.

What would also be very helpful is the picture locations for each class. Perhaps if someone could post some config.bin info. I've tried opening them with some OFP tools, but none can extract them to config.cpp.

You are not supposed to manually type in the paths for pictures in ArmA.

You can get them through getText (configFile >> CfgVehicles >> "Addon" >> Picture)

**Kronzky** · Dec 29 2006, 22:20

Classes: http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/C...y:ArmA_Classes

Moves:http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/ArmA:_Moves

And please update the lists (especially the moves) if you find out new ones.
