snak Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Can anyone explain how to create a ground vehicle group as a template ie 1 bmp, 1 shilka, 8 t80s and tanker? I just cant get this to work thanks for reading this Paul
nomdeplume Posted March 13, 2012 Posted March 13, 2012 Create the group as normal, then while it is selected, hit the templates button in the toolbar on the left side of the editor. Then enter the name you want to use for the template and press the save template button. If I recall right, there's basically two sections to the dialog you get when you activate the Templates option; the top bit lets you load an existing template (and once you've selected the template, clicking on the map will place a new group using that template), while the bottom bit allows you to create a new template from the selected group.
snak Posted March 16, 2012 Author Posted March 16, 2012 nope just cant gte this to work i wanted to create a template 8* t80 and 1 *shilka. The manual is crap
Invisibull Posted March 16, 2012 Posted March 16, 2012 nope just cant gte this to work i wanted to create a template 8* t80 and 1 *shilka. The manual is crap Page 184 in the GUI manual explains how to do this very clearly, and step by step. i9 9900k - GTX 2080 Ti - MSI Z87 GD65 Mobo - 64GB HyperX Predator RGB DDR4 3200MHz - Win10 64 bit - TM Warthog w FSSB R3 mod - TrackIr 5.
MadTommy Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) It is a simple process. Make a group, arrange them as you wish. With them selected, click on create and modify template button.. give them a name..click save template. Done. p.s if you think the manual is crap go try Rise of Flight or Cliffs of Dover mission editor manual....the DCS manual is very thorough and actually exists!

snak Posted March 17, 2012 Author Posted March 17, 2012 i have just worked out that it is possible to change individual vehicles in a group, i was adding new groups which was why i could create a template:smilewink::smilewink:
MadTommy Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Yes you can have a group made up of different vehicles. In group properties under 'unit' you can edit each unit type. You can't create a template made up of different 'groups'. You make one group with a mix of units, placed as you want and save that as a template. p.s its courteous to thank people trying to help you. :noexpression: i5-3570K @ 4.5 Ghz, Asus P8Z77-V, 8 GB DDR3, 1.5GB GTX 480 (EVGA, superclocked), SSD, 2 x 1680x1050, x-fi extreme music.
