no problem. i'm curious at your movie. if you have any other problems with the editor, let me hear. also still learning the editor the possibilities are so massive:)

Could someone check this. in the editor since the update i cant find by F1 unit> side, "Game logic and Empty" only blufor, opfor, independent civilian and ambient life. Did they delete those two with the latest update? found a workaround to get those back by opening old saved scenes. Would be a shame for others who wanted to play around with the editor to create their movie. Becouse in "Empty" you could find all the other objects like, cars, props, bodies, structures etc etc. edit: its important you start the editor from DayZ.

The green line means that he is grouped to the unit(in this case the civillian). You dont want to have that. Make 2 groups. one civilian(s) and one zombie(s) How to do that: When the zombie is attached to the civ. Press F2 (groups) click the zombie and hold left mouse and slide away from the zombie. This way you unlink the zombie. To attach units to each other. It works the same way. F2(groups) left click and hold and slide to the unit you want to attach to. Give the leader of the group an higher rank in unit setup(F1) lower ranks will follow him. This doesnt work with zombies. Every zombies needs to be a own group with own waypoints. Else they dont walk or run. and stay in place. still trying to fix this and find a workaround so they can be grouped. Had the same problem with the zombies overtaking the civ. How i fixed this. I didnt :) I knew where i wanted to shoot the scene, from wich point. Then i gave the civ a headstart placed the zombies further away. Tweaking this so at the point where i wanted to shoot the scene the zombies just didnt overtake the Civ. Other way you can slow down zombies is to make a couple of waypoint to the destination. At every waypoint they stop for a moment. but that just look weird. Hope you understand, My english isnt that good :)

thanks for the beans, enough to survive for a while :) @snafu, nice to hear that you worried about the guy:), now going to try to achieve the same with episode 2, more difficult becouse its a group, and one of them shot the poor guy. @sneaky that shot was inspired by that scene of i am legend, cool that you noticed it:)

longer work in progress. last work in progress im going to post till final version.

a sneak peak of episode 2. still work in progress so its a raw version. finally found the music im going to use. difficult to find music for a good sequel. and to make a good or better one. but ill give it a shot. hans zimmer- time with a extra sound/speech layer from: the great dictator-charlie chaplin. love that speech.

nice :D ill keep an eye on it. this tutorial is also usefull. the editor likes to change faces of the character after preview. with this you can set the face you want so it wont change. set face tutorial: list of faces: http://community.bis...:_CfgIdentities

thats true. important part of dayz. would be happy if mine ended at the frontpage. but i dont think they are going to place it becouse it has some different elements in it then you can find in dayz, im hoping more creative people are going to create movies this way instead of the standard gameplay rofl movies. that would be really nice.

thanks:) would be nice if it was posted on frontpage, but some things in the movie arent similar as in the dayz mod. started with the second movie. but still need to get somethings right in the editor. the second movie is going further with the sniper dude. there will be again some familiar dayz gameplay elements in it. this time teamplay. not going to spoil more.

started some more testing with civilians shooting zombies. for a new movie/sequel. not easy becouse the civilians and zombies are both neutral. but kinda got it right. bit too much hate on the civilians side:P.

Nice, i can see why you are interrested in the free cam.

thanks, Dayz is hard. @beany, if you made something would like to see it:)

only used this script. this way you can add weapons and magazines. searched aturoial video for you and here you can find the weapons and ammo names http://community.bis...ArmA_2:_Weapons and a video how to use waypoints. for the rest of your ideas is best to use google what you want to achieve. i also just started with the arma2 editor:)

watch this. tutorial about free cam in arma 2 editor. you need to start dayz and then go in the editor. under civilians youll find zombies. to make a character running use waypoints in the editor. to give characters weapons youll need to script. its not easy and youll need to tweak alot. so dig deep in the editor, and use google to search on arma2 editor questions.
