Hi Seiken05,

I wish I could help you here but I am new to campaign scripting, the campaign mission that's posted here is my first so like you I'm still learning.

Your best bet is to ask someone like Bogie, he has a lot more experience than me at this type of mission scripting.

Sorry I couldn't help.

[Cant_ID_You]

SeiK, You can make extra groups but you'll have to change all the xmls to make them work in the game. Your best bet is to modify a friendly model's texture so that character looks the way you like it and then use the original character name(for example:

1)paint up the marine texture.

2) then place the human marine squad in the editor/world. make sure it is set to us marine squad

3) then you have to use the SetPlayerControl element to make them show up in the command menu.

SetPlayerControlled Element

This element is used to enable or disable groups to follow or take orders from the player team.

It can also set a destination vehicle for the group, which will disable the player control when the group gets close that that vehicle.

<element type=â€SetPlayerControlled†group_id=â€group_01â€

value=â€trueâ€/>

<element type=â€SetPlayerControlled†group_id=â€group_01â€

value=â€true†group_localize_id=â€support_us_marinesâ€/>

type:

SetPlayerControlled

group_id:

Name of group to add or remove from player control.

value:

Which mode to set, “true†or “falseâ€.

Optional attributes:

group_localize_id:

Name of string to show in order list.

Thanks Cant, i did it, but i don't use extra_groups. I used a normal group_manager folder but i like to learn how do in extra_groups. Again, thanks...
