Thanks to Bohemia Interactive for the greatest Mil Sim game of all time.
Thanks so much for watching!

It was quite difficult to kill the BAD BUYS, but I have managed to kill the BAD GUYS as intended. I am a super rookie and this was the most concise short version of how to use multiple triggers triggered by a trigger. Many thanks, you have answered quite a number of How To's and I think I am ready to start my first mission.

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Awesome. Good luck with your mission!

[@twobyfour]

Outstanding. I pretty much build missions so as command an AI section in SP....I know, masochist right? These tutorials and this one particularly have allowed me to create much more in-depth missions. Knowing how to use Tasks and Triggers properly really is a game changer for me. Lots of questions and requests but I know you`ve probably got a list a mile long! Still, many thanks for your time and effort chief. Cheers.

[@gabrielguidry9742]

Super random, but just wanted to say thank you for making this video. I had wanted to get into arma mission making for quite some time but was always overwhelmed by all of the things the editor could do. Then I saw this video and most of your other tutorials and now I'm running my missions on a rented server with my friends. Thanks for taking the time to do these tutorials.

[@OnlineCombatBN]

You're welcome. So glad you're getting into making your own missions.

[@bitboydcs9825]

Well done. I appreciate the methodical approach you take to building out a simple mission. A couple of handy tricks you revealed as well, the spacebar 3 times to resize area triggers is brilliant, a big time saver. The file additions (Player gear save) are a huge plus, I used variants of these in the past...with mixed success. :D Thanks for sharing.

[@OnlineCombatBN]

You're very welcome

[@Devinity08]

you have such a calm voice, very comforting for such a hardcore action packed game

[@yappydawg8985]

It is great to see the complete mission making process. I learned a lot of tips that will make it look like I know what I am doing now. Thanks!

[@Mariner311]

Thank you - I have watched a LOT of the ShackTac videos over the last year and enjoy them - but always wondered HOW such missions were created, and seemingly in the midst of a mission, "edited".

[@deccable8827]

Fantastic tutorial, covers alot of the basics that can be brushed over and forgotten by a new mission maker Great work as always mate

Hi, I just have a question, I have arma 3 base game only, but I don't have access to 3d editor, should I get arma 3 apex to have eden editor?

[@FrostyyMcToasty]

​@@ARMASPIRIT what do you mean, the editor is in the base game

[@romanium365]

Your video is exemplary. It's simple and easy to understand, man. I didn't know how to create any task in the editor until I saw your video. Kudos, you're the boss.

[@ThunderTaco206]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I am new to the editor and of course decided to build a fairly complex, multi-objective mission. The in-editor tutorials are terrible, and no other video I've found has been this good. You are awesome.

[@madzangels]

Great tutorial as a template to build more on, covering the base fundamentals - it's much easier to get more advanced, once you know this stuff so thank you - 30 minutes well spent, I just copied your mission and tested it, then started to edit for my own tailored version - thanks man

[@armandopensa4228]

Very nice an simple tutorial, helped me make my own little mission. Can't wait to make more of them with the help of your guide.

Awesome mate, i used to love map and mission making in DFBHD, have wanted to do the same in ARMA but i could never get my head around it, this tutorial is going to help enormously and have me spending way too much time in front of my PC.

[@evolgenius1150]

Im glad to find that. Im trying to remake (as best as I can) Goatman, an abandoned game we found on steam where you hunt this demon goat guy, but I wanna make it Arma 3 ified. 😛 Basically we drive, fly in, or somehow get to a preset FOB in chenarus or esseker or livonia or something, with maybe a campsite and some gear and we go hunt these monsters, but its Arma 3 so ill add dynamic zombies or spooks or mutants and we can drone strike hordes of monsters lol. Theres no goatman or minataur mods but theres plenty of dinosaurs and stalker mutants and skinwalker guys I could use.

[@user-ek7gi5vq9p]

Not sure if you've covered this or not, or if you're familiar with how, but a tutorial on how to create NPC (voiced) dialogue would be fantastic.

[@PeterMaddison2483]

This tutorial should come as standard with every install of ARMA3. I have had ARMA3 for over a year and have hardly touched it due to the impossible level of complexity it has to create missions and objects. Also, in watching this tutorial, I've discovered I need a degree in programming, which, luckily, I have, but it's 30 years old and rustily out of date. I will however, give it a try... Where can we get a list of the 'commands' that we see you typing. Also, how are you moving about so smoothly & quick? p.s. liked & subscribed 👍

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Bohemia Interactive forums is where you'll find explanations of code used in the editor and in making scripts. The explanations are generally not very clear, but that's all we have.

[@thunderflaps6969]

Loving your tutorials - I've been using them to make a campaign for my gaming group and we're having fun, however I'm struggling with: 1) Segregating Simplex Support - can a single player be the only one to issue support requests, like a chain of command so others have to radio in for e.g. artillery? 2) High Command - I can't get this to work neatly. Is it just buggy? Units tend to still do what they want, even if I issue them waypoints. I'd like to my gaming group to have platoon level strength, so about 4 troops/squads each, but ooph... clunky! Thanks!

[@OnlineCombatBN]

I'll get to your questions soon mate.

[@christiangargiulo1583]

Hi, could you do a tutorial on how to create a mainly aerial mission. Maybe with the ability to create various tasks of your choice (perhaps by selecting it from a blackboard) and with the ability to fight against hostile planes with a random respawn .. I take this opportunity to congratulate your videos, I hope it will fulfill this dream of mine .. Maybe add some of your own goodies too. 😊

[@supersoldier4806]

My first scenario task starts and ends at the same time, and the secons won't start. It worked but only for a second. Can you help me, master?

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Check the trigger conditions. They are firing at the same time and they shouldn't be doing that if you configured them correctly.

[@supersoldier4806]

I fixed the issue, the condition in the 10x10x10 trigger was empty Thx alot❤

[@HeyRnold]

For some reason I get both of my tasks coming up at once instead of the second one popping up after I complete the first task 😢

[@OnlineCombatBN]

Check your trigger conditions. You've mixed something up in one or more of the triggers.

[@Bob24778]

For some reason my area trigger for Opfor not being present will not trigger after I've killed all hostiles. Any advice?

[@OnlineCombatBN]

So, you've killed all opfor, and the trigger didn't fire? Check trigger settings, you've missed something

[@Bob24778]

@@OnlineCombatBN type "none", activation "OPFOR", and Activation type " Not Present". I'm using the SOG DLC if that makes a difference. Also the task is synched to another task that uses an area trigger for the players to move into a position.

Is there a way to have the mission start my team in its start point without having to choose which spawn point we want to spawn in? i have two custom spawn points set up near where our task are at (which is around 7km from where we start). I want to be able to just load into the mission where the team is placed at on the map in the beginning , but be able to choose which respawn point from the custom markers if we get killed. The only way I'm able to do this now is similar to how you did it in this video, by placing a respawn marker by the starting position. Any response would be greatly appreciated!
