OFP/ArmA: Cold War Assault Editor Tutorial - The Basics (1 of 2)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 фев 2014
- Part 1 of 2. This was an attempt I had made at providing a comprehensive tutorial for the editor in the ArmA games, starting from the original Operation Flashpoint as a base. Since all future ArmA games use that engine as their foundation, almost all knowledge in editing ArmA: CWA can be carried over to future ArmA games.
I haven't really seen many good tutorials on youtube on the absolute basics of the editor, so I tried to put myself in the shoes of someone who has never seen the editor before, and try to guide them into first learning the editor, and then how to do progressively more difficult and complex things. This is intended to be the first tutorial in a series that gradually does just that.

I've done the same man, got this game aged 12 in 2001 and have played it for nearly 20 years now, it's a shame my encyclopedic knowledge of modding and scripting this game is no use in the wider world!
One question. how can i change soldier durant the game ? what hotckey can i change soldier ?
How can i change soldier durant the game ? Because in Edit Mission says: Playable as Comandm Playable as Gunner in the tank for example etc.
Thank you so much for this! I really love this game better than other games out in the stores right now. It just can't replace the fond memories in OFP:CWA back when I was a kid.
Nice extremely helpful for a beginner like me.
Please make more!
thanks BTW to anybody not got the game yet ITS FREE ON STEAM UNTIL 10:00 BST
I know I got it on steam
its awesome
2022
Thanks for the vids!
Please keep it coming! Your knowledge of the game shows!
Looking forward to the more intermediate tutorial ;-)
When i try to place a unit, it will link it with the other units and ultimately it says it only allows 12 units per group, but I just want em to be a lone wolf. How do I unlink the in group premise aka the thin blue line that symbolizes that these units are in one group.
This was really helpful thank you for making this
thanks for the comprehensive tutorial
Thanks for this very useful guide :)
love using the editor, great sandbox fun but i wish someone would make comprehensive editor tutorial on how to do things, for example proper usage of waypoint commands. i got this game from GOG website a year ago and to this day i still can't figure out how to do simple things like using the JOIN command. despite my best of efforts i can never get it to work, and that is just one of many examples of things i try in my mission that never work because editor is not very intuitive. but still great fun for such an old game, and especially if you have old crappy computer like me.
One question ; What hotckey can i change soldier during the game ? Because says: Playable as Comand, Playable as Gunner etc
@@martincuadrado766 I am assuming you are making a mistake
Certain vehicles are multicrew in this game, requiring multiple soldiers to operate
When you go near a tank you are given the options to be the gunner(controls the gun/cannon), commander(give orders to the other 2) and driver(drives the vehicle)
@@Azure9577 Ok thank you
Have you been writing scripts? I was avoiding this at all cost like for example i used to place one soldier on the end of the map with few waypoints which would trigger some action i wanted :D
You should write scripts. You can't do a whole lot until ARMA 3 without scripts, and even in ARMA 3 you should have scripts as they can reduce the complexity of certain tasks and take the randomness out of it.

I'm joying this game, a lot of fun play the Vietnam war mods... FUCK, that's a great game! More shooting, big faster action seems like for today, this game is FANTASTIC! I recommend it! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO, SORRY MY "ENGRISH" (Grettings from Brasil).
really good thank you for this are I don't have it but its really good if I get arma cold war
dude di you get i?
Подскажите пожалуйста как сделать так, чтобы отряды не отступали.. а именно чтобы они не бежали в рандомном направлении, ломая напрочь сценарий, после того как было убито четверть или же половину отряда..?
I'm planning to make a whole campaign with this editor
too bad GameSpy is down cuz I would like to play a campaign with other people on this game
Especially when I'm going on a mission and I want the soldiers to go down with umbrellas how and I am neither the commander nor the plane driver
Min 10:01 what hotckey you can change Soldier during the game ?
When it put Control: Playable
Why can't tutorials like this have subtitles? I can't hear what the person is speaking because they just whisper into the mic like they are not even trying!
Lol there is a caption in the settings
thank you
hey is there any possible way to respawn AI units in the mission editor and the player?
What's type on trigger activation
Most important thing in all editor missions :) , with it you direct all..!! End mission, moveing Groups over radio, sirena, when east or west is present or consumption in a certain circle, and so you can also hear various, hint announcements in the distance when, for example, a vehicle or unit is destroyed or it addmusic, text :) , cutscene, when is east, west ready in for example square, coordinates dh58
2022 heck yea
How do i synch two waypoints ? load and Get in ? Do i have to go to groups and swipe from get in to Load to connect them ?
It is connected with the switch - F3 - either through the command, by checking the options in it, or the switch + radio signal, which you then press in BACKSPACE, 0-0-1 or 0-0-2 etc. Depending on what you want, how it's created, or the unit activates it when it enters the coordinates of the field where you place the switch, the most important option in the F3 switch is always "switch" and you have to connect it to that point of the route F5 synchronization and you have to have it in the mission editor the "advanced" option is checked ;)
One question: how can i change soldier durant the game ? Because when put: Playable, so, the player can change soldier during the game
Oh, you see, you answered it yourself.. :D Normally you can't change units in game... so what he said is probably the only option that I didn't even know about.. :) Unit modification is F1, all you can change... only no side west on east or east on west, this you must do right, plane on 1. focus.. otherwise maybe give choice playable as you say.. :)
13:30 how do you disconnect the unit with the group or connect to the group?
F2 choice, choose, this is already 1 from most easy thing.. xD, I have problem understand and write correct all 370 commands to triggers or to inicialization pole units :D
what mod are you using to make it run in 16:9 and how do i get it?
Idk
if you mean format, resolution, it's in the game menu, on the left, how the character is created, in the settings, graphics
Just jump at 2:52
odd i have this on steam but my insert unit window doesn't have all these settings...
Don't forget to change the editing mode from "Easy" to "Advanced."
paulalex19 if you don't mind me asking, where do i find this option?
paulalex19 nevermind i found it, thanks for the help!!!
how do you disconnect a unit from a group?
F2 click in editor
double voice :D
I don't have a preview button!
Hi men can you tell me how tu play champing in multiplayer
Multiplayer doesn't exist :D , it should have been for this game as well, which would have been amazing, but in the end the Czech company didn't agree with a significant investor, just like, for example, traditional Czech brabůrs fell apart, the world Czech game conqueror disappeared or Czech companies are being transferred to foreign owners haha .. xD but he is the best..
Hey...you still there?
all i want is this game with a 3d editor and multiple playable units in the editor (just like the rest of the arma series ( i mean think about it,with the amount of mods availabe , it will be glorious !!!!!!)
The 3D editor as you probably know it was introduced in ARMA 3 but really got its start in ARMA 2, and this allows multiple playable units...
@@theironsword1954 yeah man , srill i am surprised that with all the mods for ofp no one tried to add multiple playable units as a mod
@@lefterboy123 .... It allows multiple playable units... In ARMA CWA... ARMA II had a pretty hard to use 3D editor, and ARMA 3 settled it with a nice, easy to use 3D editor...
@@theironsword1954 yeah it did , but i mean multiple playble units in the editor (the way u csn switch beteen units with a button
@@lefterboy123 Oh, that. I believe thats a gimmick of ARMA 3's editor and how it handles "playable" unit states.
does anyone know how to rotate units?
1) press F1
2) select the desired unit/units
3) press and hold CTRL and left button mouse, and move. You'll see the selected icons rotate.
or right Shift + click left mouse on Group, so you can rotate all Group immediotenaly.. ;)
@@stbklzcczzlv7112 Lol, thanks
how do I delete units
+Kody Haskett Hover over the unit and click the delete button on your keyboard.
or ctrl X
can you tell me how to make planes take off and land thanks you
vladimir putin on the last island go to desert there's a run way place plane then start move mouse to top of screen go forward at a point you lounch
oh cool
(plane name)flyInHeight500;
hover the mouse over the unit and press the Delete key, or mark the entire unit by dragging the mouse into a square or rectangle and press Ctrl+X
How i disconnect a unit ??
go on groups and for example you accidentally connected a bmt to a t80 but you wanted to connect the t80 to a t72 so just have the f3 selected and then just click and hold on the t80 and then drag the courser on to the t72
sorry if i made it to complicated
F2, the 2nd option, can also connect individual soldiers in the same way
why is there no mods that make this kind of thing easier, there is no support any more for this game and it sucks
I think, that this game also thanks foreigners have very lot of mods.. Only in home country is it poor :D
lol he's Romanian, like me 🌚🌚🌚🌚 COMPATRIOTUL MEUUUUU
HOW TO DELETE UNIT IS ....PRESS DELETE BUTTON ON YOU PC
ctrl+x
ctrl+x is Cut
or normal - delete - you just mouse over it
Possible how parachuting
Parachuting is automatic in this game.
@@spacewargamer4181 How to clear it automatically
@@spacewargamer4181 Especially when I'm going on a mission and I want the soldiers to go down with umbrellas how and I am neither the commander nor the plane driver
in flight you automatically jump out of the helicopter or you tell your soldiers to get out, jump, backspace - 4th option and in the editor you put a soldier, edit the unit loaded in the helicopter, you name the helicopter, or if it is a soldier of the east, you give air - parachute and F1 editing you check the units on the right special: in the air
and landing the helicopter is the command in the initialization pole, field: land "land" --- before or after that, you may still have to enter the name of the unit, you also have to name it
make a game logic tutorial
Toooooo quiet
