OA Folk Platoons

From F2 EN

Description

The Folk Platoons preplaced infantry platoons. You may want to read About the Folk Platoon.

Required files

All the code associated with this component is found in:

init.sqf
mission.sqm

However, the pre-placed formations are designed to work with the following components (all of which must be enabled):

How to use

How groups are named

Each pre-placed group is pre-named using lines of code in each individual unit's Init: field. For example:

GrpGUE_CO = group this;

The reason this line is present in the Init field of every individual unit is so that regardless of whether one, some or all units are used in the mission, the group is always named GrpGUE_CO (if the line is only placed in the Init field of the group leader, the group will not be named unless the leader slot is used by a human player, which is not guaranteed).

Changing group compositions

You can of course change any group's composition by selecting an individual in the editor, double-clicking, and altering the value of the Unit drop-down. There are some important rules to remember when you are configuring the group and/or individuals:

Try to change individual units by editing an existing individual, since this helps to preserve the contents of the Init line.
If you accidentally remove an individual and replace it, or add a new one, ensure its Init field is the same as the other group members (e.g. GrpGUE_CO = group this;).

Platoon structures

All the platoons and attachments follow the same structural and naming conventions. Full details can be found in the tables below:

Tips

Cutting down on pre-placed units will reduce your mission file size, which has many benefits.
If you add new units to the existing platoons, be sure to check (and possibly modify) other related components to account for your changes.
