(CWR 1.90) Try using this on an object pre-placed in the mission editor (such as a house): hint format["%1", typeOf object xxx] Now place an object in the editor, save the map, and open up the Mission.sqm. Find the line: vehicle = "XXX", and replace XXX with the name of the object that you found above. Save it, and load the map. (this method is no longer available since ArmA)
