• I have had plenty of suggestions to do very simple things in the games I mod to blow up the lines of code and do the exact same thing I already am doing, but in a more complicated, roundabout way that ends up working slower.

    “Why are you spawning blank soldiers and then equipping them, instead of spawning already equipped soldiers?”

    “Because I can only spawn soldiers already equipped with stuff from a pool of premade classes, and I want to customize their loadout. It also takes 5 minutes longer to load them in already equipped for some damn reason, whereas when I do it this way it only pauses the game for 10 seconds before it’s good to go.”

    “… ARMA’s engine sucks.”

    “Agreed.”
