MC Mission Framework

This is the MC mission making framework, used for Arma 3 missions played with MC. There are quite a few documents on how to use it and achieve different things with it:

For questions about the framework, or mission making for MC in general, check out our documentation or find us in #mission-making on our Discord.

Main features

Safe start

Safe start activates several safeties at mission start for a set duration:

• players are invincible
• fired bullets are removed
• player-crewed vehicle damage and guns are disabled

This is a mission parameter and can be set on the slotting screen. Default value is 5 minutes.

You can change the available values and the default in description.ext, look for class f_param_mission_timer.

Buddy team colors

Playable characters can automatically be assigned to fireteam colors depending on their name (variable name).
Make sure you name your units accordingly:

• Squad leader: xxx_SL
• Fireteam leader: xxx_FTL
• Medic: xxx_M
• Automatic Rifleman: xxx_AR
• Assistant Automatic Rifleman: xxx_AAR
• Anti-Tank: xxx_AT

By default, teams will be setup like this:
