ARGHHH! Is There Any Way To Turn Off That Blasted Unit Limit?

[Captain Wacky]

I'm getting really annoyed with a mission I'm making at the moment. It is getting quite long and I just got that annoying message: Only 69 units/groups per side. And then, I can't preview until I delete some. D'oh! The thing is, I still want to make it bigger and to do that I need to add more enemy units. Is there any way to extend the unit limit, or turn it off completely? This is really peeving me as I don't want to turn into two missions. I just want it single, so I can submit for my first properly submitted mission. So, any way to do this? I would really, really appreciate any help from you guys. Cheers.

Not sure but I think not.

However, you do know that the limit is to groups?
Meaning that you can have 69 groups in your map with up to 12 units per group.
So that would make a total of 828 units per side. And in addition to that you can make the Resistance fight side by side with you, so that gives you another 828 units to that side basicly.
I don't know what kind of a suicide slaughter massagre mission you're making but I'd say 1656 units fighting on the same side is enough   ;D

Is it?! Cheers! Now I'll just ungroup loads of 'em! Ahahahahahahahaha!!!!!! It's not exactly a massive massacre, but I just needed more units. Now that I know that I feel better. Although your massacre words may have given me an idea for a cool slaughter mission!  ;D

Now I'll just ungroup loads of 'em!

eh?  :hmm: You mean you will group them, right? Right.  

If you've got 3 soldiers on a map separately, they will consume 3 groups. But if you group them they'll make only one group all together.  

Although your massacre words may have given me an idea for a cool slaughter mission!

Watch out for lag though  ;D

I don't think that you'll se 828 enemies at once. So before you turn OFP into a slide show I would suggest that you learn about the deleteVehicle- and createUnit-commands

Is it just me or is it 63 units rather than groups? I swear it was units! But if that's not the case. DAMNIT! And here I was using the CreateUnit command to get me a few extra guys when all I needed was to just drag a line from one bastard to another! DAMN! DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!
But hey, you could be wrong. (Or so I hope)
Anywho assuming it is "units" then just use the ol' CreateUnit command my man Sui taught me about a few posts down.

lol Black Magic, it IS groups.
It would be pretty anoying if it had been units.
I have had to group alot of guys together to get some of my missions through.

depending on which side theyre on, you can use resistance to augment the side youre on or against. Just add the units you want as resistance, then edit mission file with note/word pad and change the unit name's designator letter ie:

soldierEB  east
soldierRB  Resist
soldierWB west,...

by changing the W/R/E to whichever you like it uses the skin without changing the side. Ive just made one mission (still isnt finished) but Ive got about a 3rd of the enemy units as resist 'wearing' soviet uniforms.
