How to create a nice CBA Rose menu in Arma 3.

by

Creating a nice CBA Rose Menu is very useful in Arma 3. You may only need to press one button and this can open a menu that has multiple options. This requires the CBA mod for Arma 3, but it is an awesome looking feature for this mod. A very easy way to make a custom menu instead of using the retarded scroll menu. But I can not find any useful documentation on this, so I need to work things out myself.

Put the code above into the initPlayerLocal.sqf file. This will create a lovely menu when the right Windows key is pressed. This is a very easy way to make a CBA Rose Menu work in Arma 3.

This version of the Rose menu has icons and tooltips when you hover over each option.

See the screenshot below. This shows the all-new menu in action.
