~~In Arma, the~~ default means of interacting with ~~the environment will be~~ the scroll wheel. This is how vehicle inventories are accessed, ~~door~~ are opened~~, vehicle engines turned on and off~~, and so on. Once the desired option is highlighted, use {{Key press|Space Bar}} to ~~make the selection~~.

The default means of interacting with things is the scroll wheel. This is how vehicle inventories are accessed, doors are opened, and so on. Once the desired option is highlighted, use {{Key press|Space Bar}} to select it.

EDC ~~(and a lot of Arma units)~~ makes use of an addon known as '''[https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=463939057 ACE]'''. ~~It's difficult to describe what~~ ACE does ~~succinctly (and it will be referenced frequently), but one of the~~ many things ~~it does is introduce an~~ interaction system.

Hovering over it will expand into further options (if applicable). To select an option, hover ~~the mouse~~ over ~~the option~~, and then release the {{Key press|Win}} key.

EDC makes use of an addon known as '''[https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=463939057 ACE]'''. ACE does ''many'' things, including a custom interaction system. This is accessed by holding the left {{Key press|Win}} key. Moving your mouse will move the cursor, slightly move the camera, yet interaction options will stay still. Once close to an interactable object, options will appear as circles. Hovering over it will expand it out into further options (if applicable). To select an option, hover over it, and then release the {{Key press|Win}} key.

ACE interaction is used for many things, including:

* Knocking on vehicles

* Joining someone's group

* Passing a magazine to another player

ACE ~~similarly~~ allows interaction with the ''self''. This is done by holding {{Key press|LCtrl|Win}}~~. This will work in most any situation, including while your map is opened~~. This is used for many things, including:
