= Arma 3: High Command =
High Command (HC) allows the player to slip into the role of a commander. Instead of having control over a group of several units, as high commander the player can take control of serveral squads and teams.


== Setting up High Command ==
# Create a new scenario in [[Eden Editor]]
# Place a player unit
# Place the '''High Command - Commander''' module
# Synchronize the module with the player unit
# Place the '''High Command - Subordinate''' module '''four''' times (The number of modules doesn't matter, place as many as you wish)
# Place '''four''' groups. Any group type will do e.g., Sentry, Fire Team, Weapon Team
# Synchronize each group with one of the previously placed modules.

=== Additional Information ===
* If no subordinates were synchronized with the High Command - Commander module, all groups of the commander's side will be automatically be added to the High Command.
== Taking Control ==
After pressing the '''preview''' button, you take control over the '''four''' groups. By pressing {{KeyboardShortcut|Left Ctrl|Space}} or the {{KeyboardShortcut|App Menu}} key, you can open the ''command bar''. The ''command bar'' will now display the '''four''' groups. Select them with {{KeyboardShortcut|F1}} to {{KeyboardShortcut|F4}} and give them orders.

=== In Map View ===
Groups can also be selected with opened map. Open the map, click on one of the group markers and then click anywhere on the map to command the group to move to this position.
[[File:A3 HighCommand MapView.png|Your setup should now look like this|800px|center]]
Hovering over the group markers in map view will also provide additional information such as condition and callsign of the group and name and rank of the group leader. Furthermore, current waypoints of the groups will also be shown on the map. They are indicated by an X symbol.

==== Advanced Waypoint Usage ====
When the map is opened, multiple waypoints can be place by holding {{KeyboardShortcut|Left Ctrl}} and pressing the left mouse button. Furthermore, waypoints can be dragged by selecting a waypoint and holding the left mouse button. Additionally, right clicking on a waypoint allows for further customisations such as:
{| class="wikitable" width = "800px"
|-
! Property !! Description / Available Values
|-
| Waypoint Type || Move, Cycle, Seek and Destroy, Guard, Unload, Load, Get Out, Get In
|-
| Combat Mode || Stealth, Combat, Aware, Safe, No Change
|-
| Formation  || Usual waypoint formations
|-
| Speed || Limited, Normal, Full, No Change
|-
| Timeout || Group waits <tt>x</tt> minutes and proceeds to the next waypoint afterward
|-
| Wait Until || Group waits until a certain day time is reached and proceeds to the next waypoint afterward
|-
| Radio || ?
|-
| Create Task || ?
|-
| Cancel Waypoint || Deletes the waypoint
|}
==== Cycle Waypoint ====
The cycle waypoint behaves a bit differently from what we are used to. The if a waypoint it set to ''cycle'' the group will actually never move toward it. Also timeouts and other waypoint properties are ignored. Instead, once the cycle waypoint is the last waypoint left, the previous waypoints are re-created. (Click to view .gif)
