Random Spawn

[Horner 13]

Hey, I used this code for random spawn except for the chernarus soldiers i used takistani "used on OA"

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// Randomize placement of a group within 6 spots

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if (! isServer) exitwith {}; // NOTE: in multiplayer, only server should create random numbers.

// Create Group for units to be spawned into; must have group created BEFORE spawning units in.

groupPrimo = createGroup RESISTANCE;

// Pick Location ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

n1 = round ((random 6) + 0.5); // generates random number from 1 to 6

if (n1 == 1) then

{

G1 = "GUE_Soldier_CO" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker1", groupPrimo];

G1 setdir 180;

G2 = "GUE_Soldier_MG" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker1", groupPrimo];

G2 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_GL" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker1", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_AT" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker1", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

};

if (n1 == 2) then

{

G1 = "GUE_Soldier_CO" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker2", groupPrimo];

G1 setdir 180;

G2 = "GUE_Soldier_MG" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker2", groupPrimo];

G2 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_GL" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker2", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_AT" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker2", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

};

if (n1 == 3) then

{

G1 = "GUE_Soldier_CO" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker3", groupPrimo];

G1 setdir 180;

G2 = "GUE_Soldier_MG" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker3", groupPrimo];

G2 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_GL" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker3", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_AT" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker3", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

};

if (n1 == 4) then

{

G1 = "GUE_Soldier_CO" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker4", groupPrimo];

G1 setdir 180;

G2 = "GUE_Soldier_MG" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker4", groupPrimo];

G2 setdir 180;

G3 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_AT" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker4", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

};

if (n1 == 5) then

{

G1 = "GUE_Soldier_CO" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker5", groupPrimo];

G1 setdir 180;

G2 = "GUE_Soldier_MG" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker5", groupPrimo];

G2 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_GL" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker5", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_AT" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker5", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

};

if (n1 == 6) then

{

G1 = "GUE_Soldier_CO" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker6", groupPrimo];

G1 setdir 180;

G2 = "GUE_Soldier_MG" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker6", groupPrimo];

G2 setdir 180;

G3 setdir 180;

G3 = "GUE_Soldier_AT" createunit [getMarkerPos "marker6", groupPrimo];

G3 setdir 180;

};

okay they spawn, all works well, except i can walk up to them and they dont engage. What is going on?

[Melmarkian 11]

When there are no editor placed units of a faction, they really behave abnormal.

Just place a unit of the faction and set possiblility of presence to 0.

Could be your problem.

[demonized 20]

use the createCenter command before the spawns if there are no units of that side present on the map before the spawn.

edit: Melmarkian beat me to it :)

[Horner 13]

ok thanks guys ill see if it works :)

wait demoized where do i put the createCenter command?

[demonized 20]

if (! isServer) exitwith {}; // NOTE: in multiplayer, only server should create random numbers.
_SideHQ = createCenter resistance;

[Horner 13]

still isnt working..

[demonized 20]

// Pick Location ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

n1 = round ((random 6) + 0.5); // generates random number from 1 to 6

that is a error, it gives a 0.5 to any whole random number from random 6.

now you see that none of the options will ever start as not one of them is something.5....

should be:

n1 = round(random 6); but you can get the ocassional 0 and then noone will spawn, if this is not the plan, then use ceil instead.

n1 = ceil(random 6);

but people spawn and the right people too they just dont engage.

[Melmarkian 11]

I see you are using the RESISTANCE side for the spawned groups. Are you sure you set them to hostile to the right side?

Just for fun of it, this should do the same and is much shorter: (not tested)

_myunits = ["GUE_Soldier_CO","GUE_Soldier_MG","GUE_Soldier_GL","GUE_Soldier_AT"];

_n1 = ceil(random 6);

{_new = _x createunit [getMarkerpos format["marker%1",_n1],groupPrimo]} foreach _myunits;

Melmark when I go up to them the name is red that should mean they are hostile right?

[demonized 20]

maybe try BIS_fnc_spawnGroup instead:

1: place a function module on map.

_group = [getMarkerPos "marker1", resistance, ["GUE_Soldier_CO","GUE_Soldier_MG","GUE_Soldier_GL","GUE_Soldier_AT"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup
