Few questions: Mission.sqm; V80; Lamps...

[MorMel]

I belive that some of these questions have been already answered... Yet i searched the FAQ and did not find anything that could satisfy my doubts.

So, the first question is: How do we search for answers without checking each board ("Search" at "OFP Editing FAQ is not reliable).

Now, the real questions:

- randomSeed (3rd line of Mission.sqm), is it and editable value, i mean, if i change it, will it improve or change any paramters of a mission?

- V80 - this chopper has only a crew member that can fire and pilot at the same time. Unfourtunately, it seems to be dum: it doesn't fire to ground or air targets and it always flees (even with "this allowfleeing 0"). What's happening?

- How to light a street lamp, the ones from "gunslier"(?) addon? I don't wanna use NearestObject and switchlight, as they're relative commands and non reliable... Tried switchlight and inflame at init but it doesn't work...

HELP ME HERE!!

"Search" at "OFP Editing FAQ is not reliable

What do you mean?   Is there a problem with the search function?

It is true that not everything that gets marked solved makes it into the FAQ - you just can't get the staff, you know.      However the forum search function covers all boards (or whichever ones you want) so you should still be able to find things.     Usually you have to try a couple of times till you hit the right keyword:   POW brings up nothing in the FAW but prisoner gives you just what you're looking for.

OK! OK! But please, answer!!! I cannot find anything through "Search" (at least about what i'm looking for).

My prob with V-80 is solved. In fact, the chopper is very, very stupid... even with max skill.

What about the Lamps and randomSeed?? Tried every suitable command, and none of them work.

New question: Where can i find resistance houses (the name that should be at config.bin). I want them so that i can place a few in a personal mission... Oh, and objects, like walls and so...

Just didn't find a tut for these.

Use object with switchlight .. if you zoom in close and click on Show IDs you can discover the ID of the lamppost, though they are not marked onthe map so Preview the mission to check you have the right one

object 12243 switchlight "on"

Random seed I don't know about, but I presume it is used in generating random numbers.     Computers can't pick a number out of thin air, they need a starting point and the random seed is it.    I assume that editing this number will make no difference to your mission.

You can place Resy houses if you get Kegetys' Editor addon, which is in the Ed Depot.

Damn you, Macguba! You even answer questions i haven't asked yet (the thing about objects)... You're amazing!

Well, what i want with the switchlight is to light an addon lamppost i downloaded, but i figured out that the prob was on the lamppost...

Anyway, thank's for the help.
