Missioneditor request for 1.1: copying objects to clipboard

[pappavis]

Dearest ED devteam.

 

Would it be possible to allow the copying of objects into the clipboard, so as to paste them from one mission into another?

Also handy will be to copy from Windows applications clipoard into Lo-mac.

 

I like to create populated airfields, with aircraft and helo's parked, and some flightroutes for transport planes (or even CAP). Doing this straneous repetitive action repetitive for a 12-missions campaign takes the fun from missionmaking.

 

The idea is that one creates for example stationary SAM complexes in a part of the Krim controlled by a strong faction, and/or vechicles then select Edit --> Copy from a dropdown menu, in the next missions / stage of a campaign i want to Paste the objects into the new campaign stage.

 

I hope you could implement this feature into the missioneditor. All of missionbuilding lo-mac fans will be grateful.

i think what you are saying is the same as what i would like, but just to clarify ....

 

a feature i think would be great is being able to "copy" a flight. I make multiplayer maps and often want quite a few of the same type of aircraft/waypoints/loadout for clients on one side.

 

all i have to do then is creat say one F15 with all its waypoints and loadout etc and then hit copy 5 times and boom ... i have 6 identical aircraft for clients to choose from.

 

Cheers.

 

PS great game ED and thanks for listening to our requests! love ya work!

Operation Flashpoint (http://www.flashpoint1985.com) has the most comprehensive missoin editor unrivalled in ANY game anywhere.. hopefully lua can someday bring that level of scripting possibilities to lo-mac :shock:

 

The comments of both Cobra and Xfire is what we need in the missioneditor 8)
