ArmA mission editing topics that don't have specific home page yet, we just pile them up here until we organize them properly, sorry :)

====== Units Playabe in Multiplayer ======

**How to make many units/vehicles playable in multiplayer?**

Well you usually do this in mission editor by double clicking the unit/vehicle, then choosing Control -> Playable, however if you have alot of units this can be tedious task. So what you can do is to open mission.sqm in [[:editing_tools#text_editing|EditPadPro]] and search for the units you want to be playbe, lets say they are as following:
<code>
				class Item1
				{
					position[]={11424.611328,51.777458,7839.839844};
					id=67;
					side="WEST";
					vehicle="VTE_acsoldier";
					rank="SERGEANT";
					skill=0.466667;
				};
</code>
Now you must place one line there to make this unit playable in MP, this line is called //player="PLAY CDG";// and here is the example how I wrote/copy pasted the line into the class Item1:
<code>
				class Item1
				{
					position[]={11424.611328,51.777458,7839.839844};
					id=67;
					side="WEST";
					vehicle="VTE_acsoldier";
					player="PLAY CDG";
					rank="SERGEANT";
					skill=0.466667;
				};
</code>
Very easy. After you have added the lines to all units and saved mission.sqm file, then re-load it in ArmA mission editor and you have all the edited units playable.

====== MoveInTurret ======

**How to move units into multiple doorguns?**

If you have vehicles (for example BIS UH60MG) which have multiple doorguns, you cannot simply use "unit moveInGunner helo;" command to move in gunners. You need to use moveInTurret command. See this example:
<code>
unit1 moveInTurret [helo1,[0]];
unit2 moveInTurret [helo1,[1]];
</code>
Would move unit1 into the first and unit2 into the second doorgun.
