Enemy Units Spawn Script based on Count -- Help!!!

[carlostex 38]

Allright fellas i have this:

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// EnemyPopulate.sqf
// Script and code by: CarlosTex
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

if (!isserver) exitWith {};

private ["_aU", "_targetUnits", "_delayCheck"];

_aUE = {alive _x && side _x == EAST} count allunits;
_aUR = {alive _x && side _x == RESISTANCE} count allunits;

_au = _aUE + _aUR;

_targetUnits = _this select 0;
_delayCheck = _this select 1;

while {true} do {
       sleep _delaycheck;
if (_aU < _targetUnits) then {
	_grpe1 = [getMarkerPos "def_spawn1", east, ["Ins_Soldier_CO", "Ins_Soldier_MG", "Ins_Soldier_AR", "Ins_Soldier_GL", "Ins_Soldier_Sniper", "Ins_Soldier_MG", "Ins_Soldier_AR", "Ins_Soldier_GL", "Ins_Soldier_AT"],[], ["CAPTAIN", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT"],[0.7,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5],[],[],round (random 360)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
               _grpe2 = [getMarkerPos "def_spawn2", resistance, ["GUE_Soldier_CO", "ACE_GUE_Soldier_Engineer", "GUE_Soldier_Sniper", "GUE_Soldier_2", "GUE_Soldier_3", "ACE_GUE_Soldier_Engineer", "GUE_Soldier_MG","GUE_Soldier_AT"],[], ["CAPTAIN", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT", "SERGEANT"],[0.7,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5],[],[],round (random 360)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
               _grpe1s= [_grpe1,(getMarkerPos "b18"),500] execVM "BIN_taskPatrol.sqf";
               _grpe2s= [_grpe2,(getMarkerPos "b19"),500] execVM "BIN_taskPatrol.sqf";
       };

       _aUE = {alive _x && side _x == EAST} count allunits;
       _aUR = {alive _x && side _x == RESISTANCE} count allunits;

       _au = _aUE + _aUR;

       player sidechat format ["Number of enemy units is %1", _au];
};

This script i created does almost everything i need except i want it to check units only in a marker or trigger area instead of checking all map.

I can't figure out the code, total noob scripter!!

Thanks!

_au = {alive _x AND side _x in [WEST,EAST]} count [url="http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/list"]list[/url] triggerName;

If you want to check it without using a trigger - say distance from object named tent...

could try something like -

_list = ((position tent) nearEntities [["Man"],5]);
_num = EAST countside _list;

player sidechat format ["Number of enemy units is %1", _num];

_au = {alive _x AND side _x in [WEST,EAST]} count [url="http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/list"]list[/url] triggerName;

This works well when i make the trigger activate as Anybody present.

I'm really happy with these scripts, work without problems single player, dedicated, you name it. Performance is also great. Didn't notice any slowdowns when units spawn.

So i'll share them.

First version simpler.

if (!isserver) exitWith {};

private ["_aU", "_targetUnits", "_delayCheck", "_triggerName", "_enemySide1", "_enemySide2", "_unitsWave", "_grpe1", "_grpe2", "_grpe1s", "_grpe2s","_enemies","_spawnMarkers"];

sleep 1;

_unitsWave = [5,6,7,8,9,10];
_spawnMarkers = ["infspawn1","infspawn2","infspawn3","infspawn4"];

_targetUnits = _this select 0; 
_delayCheck = _this select 1;
_triggerName = _this select 2;
_enemySide1 = _this select 3;
_enemySide2 = _this select 4;
_aU = {alive _x && side _x in [_enemySide1, _enemySide2]} count list _triggerName;
_enemies = [_enemySide1,_enemySide2];

while {true} do {
if (_aU < _targetUnits) then {
	_grpe1 = [getMarkerPos (_spawnMarkers select (floor random count _spawnMarkers)), _enemies select (floor random count _enemies), _unitsWave select (floor random count _unitsWave)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;                            
               _grpe1s= [_grpe1,(getMarkerPos "b18"),500] execVM "BIN_taskPatrol.sqf";
                sleep 0.1;                               
               _grpe2 = [getMarkerPos (_spawnMarkers select (floor random count _spawnMarkers)), _enemies select (floor random count _enemies), _unitsWave select (floor random count _unitsWave)] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
               _grpe2s= [_grpe2,(getMarkerPos "b19"),500] execVM "BIN_taskPatrol.sqf";

     sleep _delayCheck; 
     _aU = {alive _x && side _x in [_enemySide1,_enemySide2]} count list _triggerName;             
};

Second version more complex.
