The only time vehicles should self destruct is if they are >400m from the objective and >300m from the players and:
1. the crew is all dead or
2. they can no longer move or
3. they haven't moved in more than 30 seconds (since they are supposed to be going to the objective)

Maybe I should raise the 400m and 300m numbers if they are self destructing when you are engaging them. The intent was that they would be destroyed and a new vehicle would spawn in if it got stuck on it's way to the objective.

why enemy vehicle auto destroy?

Sensational, thanks mate. I'll load it up over the weekend and have a crack.

WallyJas, I just pushed an update that has the option to play with a 'main base'. All vehicles and players will respawn there. After capturing an objective, a couple quad bikes will spawn so you don't end up stranded. You choose the base location at the start of the game. Hope this fits the bill for you.

It only shows under the multiplayer mode of Arma. You can play it solo though. Here's the way to start multiplayer games:
1. start arma
2. choose Multiplayer - server browser
3. Host Server
4. Make sure 'Host:' says LAN if you don't want anyone to join your game. LAN makes it private, INTERNET makes it so your friends can join. If you choose Internet, give it a password. Then click the 'Host Server' button.
5. Choose "Altis" from the maps list in the upper left, and choose the game "Insurrection Combined Arms" in the right panel.
6. Click the 'PLAY' button in the lower right.
7. Click the 'disable AI' button unless you want some AI to play along with you. I usually leave 2 or 3 of the AI to play with on my team. You can toggle each slot by clicking the symbol that looks like a head or a computer chip and a head.
8. OPTIONAL. You can change the settings by clicking 'PARAMETERS' in the upper right. Skip this for now.
9. Click 'OK' in the lower right.

where do you find this mission in the menu?

Thank you mate, I appreciate your time.

Yes. I'll add it to the list of possible additions. Thanks.

Hi mate, my apologies for not being more specific. I was thinking back to your 'ARMA Convoy' mission where I'm pretty sure you had the option to choose the spawn/start location of the NATO team. For this mission I love the new combined ops element and just thought that if there was an option to be able to choose to spawn at a base (instead of in the field) with all the vehicles it might offer a little more realism. So in short, option 1 spawn in field with vehicles (as it is now), option 2 spawn at central main base with more vehicles and spend more time in transit to AO, wherever it may be. Does that help? Cheers

I'm trying to understand what you're proposing. Is it something like your original start point becomes a main base and you and your vehicles only respawn there even after taking objectives? Or is it more like you always respawn at the starting base, but the vehicles spawn at the start base and at the most recently taken objective? The distance between the main base and the objectives could become pretty far in these cases. Explain your idea a bit please.

Loving this mate, really nice work. Any chance you can add a parameter to enable/choose to spawn at a main base instead of close to the AO please?
