i dont think we can cheat the money maybe in later updates they might bring out cheat code for money who knows... meantime we will have to wait ...

the trainer option only works when you have exactly 500 credits; regardless of whether its a campaign mission or a scenario.
so wouldnt it be possible to manually enter the credits?
what i mean could look like this:
i go into the building browser, press numpad 9 and hear "activated". now i have lets say 5 seconds to enter my current credits via the numpad, so for example i have 450 credits so i press numpad 4 5 0; after a while i hear "deactivated" again and the trainer now knows my current credits and can modify this value instead of the standard 500.

edit: i just tried the cheat in the campaign mission badlands, as it seems to be the only mission where you can buy helicopters: after you capture the first city and the hq is deployed, get your cash to exactly 500 (buy / sell weapons / ammo / something). as soon as you hit 500, follow the trainers instructions and there you go, lots and lots of cash...

Yes! after you posted (and before your edit) I came up with the same idea, with a bit of messing around its possible to get your credits to exactly 500, pause it and run it.

Thanks for coming up with the idea dude, smart thinking indeed

Also good idea on having a custom value, Cali+Pwiz might want to include this on their trainer engine for future games

regarding the cash cheat.. i'm currently also having problems to get the cash up.. its only worked on the S currency.. my $ still remains the same.. any solutions to it anybody??? 🤔

OK . . .im not sure what u guys are having a problem with. . the whole has to be 500 thing is wrong on the dogs of war u start with 800 and it works fine the thing is that u have to do it right at the start before the money in the construction menu has changed. . playing it i have noticed at the beginning if the AI is the commander it might change quickly due to it maybe buying a unit in that case be quick!!

In the instructions its besed on if the AI is the commander due to it says press one for defenses and if u are the commander defences are option 2
Pressing the number is not needed u can select it with the mouse quick while the money is at the beginning value!
Give it a few second some times it might take more that one try im not sure why this is but it does. . also wait a few seconds after u hear deactivated to go out the construction menu!

As for the post about the helicopters i havnt got the names of the missions memorized but the first one in which i could buy a heli was the dogs of war mission!
Even tho at the time i couldnt complete it due to the Bug. . (the amount of times i restatred and had to shoot my guys in the leg. . drove me nuts!)

Thankyou god of gaming for delivering unto us the 1.3 patch!!

what is the s currency for?

im in the rebel mission where you start with 300 dollars, and the trainer option for money doesnt work. can anyone post instructions on how to get it working? i read that somehow i gotta get it to 500?

i got it to work... i went to CoSMOS and the money ho was displayed in Arma 2, i typed in and pressed the first scan button. then i got like 10 adresses or more, typed in 100000 on the first adress.. didnt work,typed in 100000 on the next adress didnt work, next, and next and next and boom i found the adress. I then saved the adress i checked the money in arma 2 and it said 109000. But the game got a little messed up after changing all those values. so i copyied the arma 2 folder in my documents( all youre saved games i placed in that folder) and placed it somewhere else. reinstall the game and placed the folder back to my documents. Went to CoSMOS and located the adress and change the value to 100000. i used standard settings in CoSMOS( scan type: exact value. value type: 4 bytes) it is a little work but damn it is worth it!
