Need help with Coordinates

[Ricki]

Hey i'm having trouble with coords, I go into single player, Alt +E, using 2D map editor, Make my marker positions, Get the coords through the file, Then convert them to class markers in mission.sqm and my markers show up in the ocean. I dont understand. I'm using the correct marker format, just coords are whack.

Possibly they show up in the wrong order in the file try setting a tank trap on your server and looking through the database instead

Could you please show the coord values BEFORE and AFTER conversion for the mission sqm?

If your pressing Alt-E your using the 3D editor not the 2D

Arma 2 OA <<< Launch
Go to single player <<<
Go to editor <<<
Select map <<<
Make Baby <<<

Could you please show the coord values BEFORE and AFTER conversion for the mission sqm?

        class Item1
        {
            position[]={5006.791,338.98325,10028.285};
            name="highloot";
            type="Empty";
        };

from mission.sqm to Mission.sqm

        class Item6
        {
            position[]={5006.791,338.98325,10028.285};
            name="HighValueLoot2";
            text="High Value Loot";
            type="waypoint";
            colorName="ColorRed";
        };

I didn't convert it or anything?

If your pressing Alt-E your using the 3D editor not the 2D

Arma 2 OA <<< Launch
Go to single player <<<
Go to editor <<<
Select map <<<
Make Baby <<<

My appologies that is what i did, But i used Arma2 not Arma2 OA, And do i need to change the coords to anything? I just copy'd and pasted them But doesn't work

thats how i do it... should be a direct copy. have to see the whole mission file to know what else could be wrong
