ebabil Posted April 20, 2014 Posted April 20, 2014 i am trying to make a few military bases on top of the mountains. should i place every unit over and over, or can i select an area and copy-paste all of the contents to another place? second question is, when i try to put an object to the editor, i must check if it hase been placed correctly by entering the game. is there any other practical method to do this like real time editor?

baltic_dragon Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 AFAIK you cannot select an area and copy the items. However, you can create a template and then paste the units in the template with one click. For more information, please visit my website. If you want to reach me with a bug report, feedback or a question, it is best to do this via my Discord channel. Details about the WinWing draw can be found here.

ebabil Posted April 21, 2014 Author Posted April 21, 2014 How can I do that? I don't want to mess up with creating every single item over and over FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5
baltic_dragon Posted April 21, 2014 Posted April 21, 2014 From the manual: "Because you can create ground vehicle groups that consist of many different types of vehicles, it may be useful for you to save a vehicle group composition for later use. A good example might be an artillery battery that consists of artillery units, ammunition trucks, a command and control truck, security APCs, etc. You can place these all in a single vehicle group and then use the Template tool to save it and use it again later. Additionally, templates may be useful in conjunction with the STOP AND DEPLOY TO TEMPLATE action of the Trigger Menu. To create a new template: 1. Create a new ground vehicle group with all of the group's required units. 2. Position the units as desired for the template. Keep in mind that moving the lead unit of a group will move the entire group. 3. With the desired group selected, press the Create Template button. 4. Select the appropriate country for the group from the COUNTRY drop-down menu. 5. Confirm that the ground vehicle group that you wish to make a Template of is listed in the SELETED GROUP field. 6. In the TEMPLATE NAME field, enter a name that you wish to save for the Template. 7. Press the SAVE TEMPLATE button. User templates are saved in the file \\Config\MissionEditor\templates-v1001.lua You have now created and saved a template. You have controls at the top of the Template window to manage your templates. The top field allows you to select the country for which to save or open Templates. The field below the country field is a drop down menu that lists all the Templates you have created for the selected country. Using the heading field, you can orient the template using the left and right arrows or by clicking on the dial. The set orientation is indicated in the HEADING field in degrees."
