[Arma 3] Looking for a Stratis bootcamp/training mission template or mission-making advice

[u/Connection_Future]

Hey,

I'm trying to make a kind of bootcamp/training mission on Stratis for my small server and a few friends, especially for someone who's completely new to Arma. (I got my significant other to play Arma :O)

Years ago I played with a unit that had a really cool training/lobby mission. It was basically a proper base with shooting ranges, vehicles, medical training etc. I also remember they had a medical area with a script where casualties would arrive and you could practice treating them. (ACE with KAT of course, so naturally they died.)

I'd like to make something similar around Stratis Air Base, but I'm honestly pretty bad at Eden and scripting. My mission-making skills are basically "here's a jet, there are two enemy squads over there and an APC, have fun" :D

What I have in mind is stuff like:

• spawn / briefing area
• arsenal
• rifle range
• grenade / AT training
• obstacle course
• vehicle area
• helicopters
• simple ACE medical training
• Zeus/instructor area

I'd prefer to keep most of the actual base vanilla so I don't have to rebuild half of it every time I change mods.

I'm not looking for a paid commission and I'm not expecting someone to build the whole thing for me for free either. I'm mostly looking for:

• existing training missions/templates I could edit
• compositions
• useful scripts
• old missions people are willing to share
• general advice from people who actually know what they're doing in Eden

Also trying not to turn the airfield into a 2000-object FPS killer because one of the PCs is an old GTX 1050 laptop lol.

If anyone has anything similar or knows a good starting point, I'd appreciate it.
