Your mission is as follows: Sit, Pick up the controller, open the menu. Click CAM1, Click NEXT until Stranger discovers a hackable camera. Click HACK, click ZOOM. Exit the menu, toggle night via radio Alpha, toggle bad guys via radio Bravo. Click through the cameras and have fun!
Or some combination there-of. You can just press buttons and see what happens.
BONUS: Mission Helicopter
The mission helicopter is scripted to move quickly from base to mission and back. If you like the helicopter it can be easily saved as a separate composition for later use. The scripts "tHELIin" and "tHELIout" go with the helicopter.

FAQ
Q: What is this?
A: SWO Mission Control is a framework for easily adding functional companions to ARMA III. It's a GUI toy.

Q: How do I use it?
A: However you like. This Alpha build is not user-friendly or well optimized; as such, unsupported. Future versions will have a more simple user experience and extensive documentation on how to use the features. Right now I encourage you to load the demo and press some buttons.

Q: Why did the screen and stuff end up on the floor after I followed the steps to add the controller to my own mission?
A: The desk and other static objects are not included in the composition layer. You can either move them into the layer via the entities sidebar or add a few prop objects of your own.

Q: Stranger keeps getting knocked down over-and-over again. What am I supposed to do?
A: Grab a weapon and help him out!

Q: Where's Sasha Ashe?
A: A stand-alone version with the character Sasha Ashe is coming soon. Currently soliciting for character and custom weapon models.  Contact:  wogz187

Q: Why do I get an error about an undefined variable or the in-game monitor starts off black?
A: Make sure to paste the init cam properties (below) into the EDEN mission INIT field under Attributes/General/INIT.

Q: Are you the worst script writer ever?
A: Undoubtedly.*

Q: How do I edit the buttons on the controller?
A: The dialog menu is saved in the Description.ext file. There you can edit both button names and functions.

Q: How do I project the video feed onto a different screen that I choose?
A: Open the attributes of the prop screen (atele1) and copy the Object Specific/texture #0 field. Paste that into the same field of your needful object.

Q: I have a thousand ideas how you can make this better. Where do I send them?
A: Message me on BI ARMA III forums,  wogz187 , or here on the NEXUS forums.

* But I'm trying.
