Randomness?

[Andy1970 10]

Hi folks can someone advise me please?

Im making a tour on a map i have & i was wandering if i write down exactly what im trying to do if some kind people could either write down how i do it or point me to where i can find easy to understand instructions?

My "tour" will last for a few months & i will save my progress as the tour goes along!!!!

I need to:

1) Have random enemies spawned throughout the tour - random amounts of enemies but must be something like insurgants & Taki mil only. NO AIR. I need the spawning area all over where i will play but not in my camps, or within say 300m of my player in any direction

2) Civvies spawned - I think ive sorted this with an ace CIV module ive just downloaded

3) Random weather - what is the best way of doing this?

4) dead bodies to leave the game after say 2hrs?

5) Random IED's - is it possible to have them randomly placed around the towns & on roads so i have to deal with them?

6) I will be wanting to save my game as i go along & also is it possible to put an end date for the game to end?

7) Whats the best way of getting my AI to do first aid in the field ( i would like it be be realistic if possible)

8) My BAF to respawn back at my main base (NOT AT MY FOB) & when there is enough of them to board a chopper that would take them to my FOB & once they are there they would join my team.

Many thanks for any help folks

All of those things are mentioned or covered (more or less) in this Editing and Scripting thread. Your best bet is to take each one and research it here. You're more likely to get some help if you concentrate on one thing at a time anyway.

Such things as AI healing are covered by the ACE mod if you are using it, or there are a few revive scripts around that may help (search for revive and you'll find a few).

There are a number of 'Taxi' scripts that are here that you should be able to modify to transport your AI troops to a FOB.

Anyway, there are a lot of scripts in this thread your best bet is to search and find the ones that suit your needs best.

Working on this one right now. News on Armaholic. :)

For random placement of AI, DAC (Dynamic AI Creator). Will do almost everything you want in one Addon or script pack.

This will come in handy for what I have in mind. This is a great site for answers :)

As Coyle posted, DAC v3c is a great tool - be sure to read DMarkwick's tutorial thread as well as the manual if you decide to try it. Weather, battlefield clearance, spawning of camps/bases, grunts, vehicles & helis (not airplanes) all available.

As for healing: COSLX/A2SLX will give all AIs the ability to give first aid (still need medics for full healing of lightly wounded). Also enables AI to treat & capture enemy wounded, plus lots of other useful functions.

Demonized's Automedic script automates the medics in your squad so you don't need to give them orders. To me they seem to act faster than in vanilla though I haven't done any real tests. I use this in almost all of the missions I make for myself.

DAP's DAPMAN addon gives healing abilities even to civilians. Nice. Does not work with ACE or SLX (to avoid script clashes).
