Loving this series. Very simple and well spoken instructions. Thanks.

[@vaf1782]

hello, thx for your tuto, they are great. can you make other video for other modules alive plz?

[@EdWallitt]

This video is part of a playlist, you will find videos on other modules in that playlist.

[@jamiegrover3181]

Great tutorial. Thanks Ed.

[@KeeneFx]

Can you not just set up 2 TAORs one for each side (red and blue) and apply both military and civ placement for each?

[@EdWallitt]

Yes you can but you need to make sure that the TAOR enclosed structures that are military and civilian in nature.

[@mpnewhart8022]

Hi thanks love the tips. I have a question. I like a single player arma life mission on the steam workshop. Although I would like to change the faction. He has it listed as Afghan army I would like to change it to NATO or USA . How would I go about changing that?

[@youngtilt5506]

is the alive ai moduel anything special or is it just vanilla arma ai also can you run something like vcom ai along with it?

[@EdWallitt]

the AI module is required, but you can use a third-party AI addons as well. I have used VCOM in the past with great success.

Thanks so much

[@Steggman]

huh, i had no idea you were meant to sync CQB to location. I jsut leave it alone and it spawns all over the map. (yes, im watching this in 2022!) ;)

[@paulhowells7216]

when you placed down the blufor fighting opfor when this is played in MP do you have to place more men of different classes so people can join i.e rifleman, sniper and so on.

[@EdWallitt]

Yes, you need to place down more individual units and make sure that they are marked as playable. You may also want to look at the multiplayer options menu to setup the settings for respawns and the medical system.

[@paulhowells7216]

Edward Wallitt will you be doing a video about that anytime

[@EdWallitt]

Yes, I most certainly will. In fact I think that may be my next video. Hopefully should be able to get it done this week.

[@OfficialUSKRprogram]

holyfuck the crackling drives me fucking insane fix your mic!!

[@SerGallow]

You have spawn points literally attacking each other, which isn't mission viable. You need to create zones between them. Give the HQs actual objectives. How do you cqb a spawn point when enemies are spawning ontop of you?

[@miltonmilton7438]

awesome videos..audio is bad though :(

[@Ghostweston]

Sorry if my question seems obvious. I'm new to ALIVE. Is it possible to set the military commander as AI and then you play as a fire team leader that is given objectives by the AI commander? I ask this because I prefer to play Arma as a soldier in the fight rather than the commander telling all the units what to do. Your videos are awesome by the way! Excellent guides for noobs like me. lol

[@EdWallitt]

The military commander will always be an AI. If you want to receive task from them you need to a) be in the same faction e.g. BLUFOR and b) place down the C2ISTAR module. In this module you can set it up so that the AI commander will give you tasks based upon his current objectives. See ALIVE wiki for more info on C2iSTAR module - alivemod.com/wiki/index.php/Command_%26_Control

[@Morales2000]

Are there any alive mission templates ? That we can download and edit

[@rcherie3]

why did you not sync the civ objectives to the AI commanders. Do you need to do that?

[@EdWallitt]

No, the two civilian modules (population and placement) should never be synced to anything.

[@rcherie3]

Thanks for the quick response and sorry, I was referring to the Military placement (civ. obj.). Will a (CSAT) AI commander not attack a (NATO) Military placement (civ. obj.) if he is not synced with it?

[@EdWallitt]

Ah I see. Sorry for misunderstanding. The beauty of ALIVE is that you can do it however you want. If you wanted the BLUFOR military commander to attack the civ placement then sure just go ahead and sync that module to the placement. Should work fine.

[@rcherie3]

Awesome! Thanks for your help. Definitely will be keeping an eye out for any new videos you upload!

[@michaeldarmanin2369]

this is probibly really dumb but how do u asses zeus during the game

[@EdWallitt]

You need to make sure that the game master module is down in your mission and linked up correctly (lots of videos on KZbin with detailed instructions). Then you should be able to press your zeus key in mission and have access to it (place units/assets etc).

[@michaeldarmanin2369]

Thanks man im new to ARMA but ur vids helped alot
