1: Thats STR files you deal with

2: YOu have to look under scripts>Camera. Please be more specific

3: When you set up players, make the two factions consider eachother as enemies.

4: Name Each unit, or make a team and put them all in that team. Make waypoints for them to follow, and name the path Then under unit>Move [unit/team] follows [waypoint path name] EXACTALLY.

5: Yes. There are many ways to do this. DO you want them to dive in/Para dropped/built?

Thx and for the 5th 1 i would like to Para dropped and also thx for all the others. The maps i make and edit are way smaller in game than on world builder tho.

I would just like to add something about intro's. To make a captions show up on the map, use the script: "Scripting\Breifing\Show a military breifing caption." Now type a name for the caption like "Caption 1" & show it for a certain number of miliseconds. (It's usally trail & error to get the right time.) Now open up a Notepad file & right there for the first line the same name you typed in the script. If you went ahead & named it "Caption 1" then type that for the first line. Under that right what you want your caption to display & enclose it in quotation marks. Under that type "END" so it should look like this:

Caption 1
"Welcome to my map!"
END

You can do the same for more captions except you can put all your captions in this same Notepad file. After your done with it save this Notepad file in your map folder & name it "map.str" then file will then become an STR file. To edit it, just double click on it. If a window comes up that says somthing like, Can not open file, just click on, select from a program list. Then select Notepad & check, "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file"

For the para dropping make a team called 'Rangers'.
Then make that team have 8 rangers, belong to player (Insert US player here). Then go to reinforcement options, and make them deliverable by Plane.
You have to make two waypoints. One called 'Paradrop' and one called 'Paradrop start'. Paradrop start is where the plane comes from. Then under scripts, set up a condtion, and then under teams 'Have an instance of Team Rangers be spawned on waypoint 'paradrop'.

FYI, you can use different names, I just assigned names for sake on convenience.
