Hi. I bought Operation Flashpoint last week and haven't gotten off my computer chair yet. I have started making a half-decent map in the Basic editor. I have worked out most of the features but can't work out how to edit a waypoint that has others following it without have to change it all after the waypoint you are editing. For example, three waypoints all joined. If I edit the second one, that becomes the last one and is executed after the third one. I'd alos like to know if it is possible to add weapons to the game; like lying around on the ground.
Cheers,
Hezoe

Look for "waypoint order" in the insert waypoint screen (F4)

try some of these it doesnt allow me to get the exact url of the pop up so you should read
Macguba's Guide to Mission Editing for Beginners
macguba's quick guide to reducing lag
and then play the
Tutorial Mission

that should definately get you making some great missions they helped me.

also this isnt in the right place but since your new to the forums

To get weapons lying around use a weaponholder.    Search around the site to find lots of info.     It's easy but it's not basic:  get the waypoints and triggers nailed down first and read the tutes recommended.  There is a link to the Editors Depot in the banner at the top.

Haha, FilePLanet. It is a joke!  ;D
I think that I'll just get used to and fully understand the features of the basic features before tackling advanced. Slow and steady us my mum says!
I've started making an interesting map where you start out as a civilian that is part of a secret resistance movement but are caught by the Russians. It is on Everon.
