Because that doesent work with respawns, Its a one time thing.

[MrMessy187]

you could make a little script to save a players loadout and re-apply it on spawn

Either way VAS doesnt look so difficult to load..

in description.ext ADD:

#include "VAS\menu.hpp"

class CfgFunctions
{
	#include "VAS\cfgfunctions.hpp"
};

and on an item like an ammo box or soemthing add this in the items init box.

this addAction["<t color='#cccccc'>VAS Ammobox</t>", "VAS\open.sqf"];

hopefully should work fine after that.

But I need to place files in the mission folder, There is no folder for the mission its just a pbo file or whatever its called.

[MrMessy187]

well in that case you need to extract the mission files from the pbo edit the needed files add the VAS folders and re-pbo the mission then replace the original..

im not gonna tell you how to do all that step by step pal.. :) hit google and figure it out!

So thats what I was missing, In none of the tutorials did anyone say ♥♥♥♥ about unpacking the pbo file, they just opened a simple file... Is my game broken? Why do I have a pbo file for my mission file?

[Persona]

It's a script you use when you MAKE YOUR OWN mission. When you do that, then the file is not a .pbo file - it's a simple folder with your scripts etc.

What you try to do is to add those scripts to a packed file (called .pbo). You have to unpack it first - put those files in - do the steps domino explained - and open that mission in the editor to place a box to add VAS actually to the game.

It won't work with just copy/pasta.

I am making the mission tho. So why did it pack? Is there a place to get the mission files without exporting to the MPMissions folder?

[Persona]

C:\Users\yourname\Documents\Arma 3 - Other Profiles\yourprofile\missions

This is where you work with scripts.

Thanks! Its not quite how you said for me, but I think I got it. Is the folder supposed to be empty?

[Persona]

If you made a mission in the editor and saved it, then it's stored in that folder.

No I mean the mission folder itself is empty.

[Persona]

Then I don't know what you did :P created missions are located in that one.

No no no no, You still missunderstand. The folder for the mission i made, when I open it its empty. In the tutorial I watched there were files in it. Ive also installed the VAS files and it isnt working in game, hmm.

[Deizelpunk]

Hmmm- Seems like the update today ♥♥♥♥♥♥ everything, Because VAS wont work and the files in arma are all ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, Very different to how the tutorial showed.
