ffs, when i save it the file is called init.sqf.txt...help

[TheJserver]

@Rijelthelovefool Go into your control panel, small icons on the drop down - then folder options. In there select the view tab, then uncheck hide extensions for knows file types. You should then be able to edit the file type.

can you do this with things other then a heli?

[TheJserver]

@projektpanzerfaust

Sort of. I'll explain: Infantry and vehicles both have moving animations (running/ wheel/ track rotation) which will not be played when they trace the route. So yes it works and the unit will follow the path but anything other than helis will pretty much reference pose through the route. - Not an issue with non external view vehicles such as a tank crew or in any situation where you cant see the wheels. (far off)

Might just have to try and see what works with your mission.

[girlonwork]

[9911MU51C]

and you dont need to name the man you can just type "this moveincargo (vehicle name)"

[9911MU51C]

does this work in arma 2 free?

[evilnight91]

i have a problem, it doesn't save when i do escape... But i have the "start recording". Any idea?

It seems it doesn't work with planes from mods... I tried to land with a F18 on the nimitz.
