dm610 1 Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) So ive tried many ways and took the advice of some of the memebers here but i still cant seem to get this to work. I am trying to have a vehicle respawn with the units i have assigned to it. So that basically there is an empty vehicle the units spawn and board there assigned positions and when destroyed the vehicle and units respawn and repeat this process over and over. I have an empty vehicle that respawns no problem. I can assign a driver, a gunner, and a commander and they spawn in the vehicle no problem as i use: this moveindriver vehname; this moveingunner vehname; this moveincommander vehname;. Now i already knew that when i use "this moveincargo vehname; that the unit would not spawn in the vehicle so while searching the forums i found a thread that reccomended adding this "if (_loop == 3) then {_guy moveInCargo _vcl_new};" to the AIvcl_respawn.sqf. So that it now looks like this for [{ _loop = 0 },{ _loop < count _unitsGroup},{ _loop = _loop + 1}] do { _guy = _unitsGroup select _loop; _guy setSkill (_AI_skillArray select _loop); if (_loop == 0) then {_guy moveInDriver _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 1) then {_guy moveInGunner _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 2) then {_guy moveInCommander _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 3) then {_guy moveInCargo _vcl_new}; Now i have it so that the unit assigned to cargo now spawns in cargo but its just one unit, the rest of the units assigned to cargo spawn outside still. I tried modifying the loop ==#, adding multiple "if (_loop == 3) then {_guy moveInCargo _vcl_new};" so it appears like this for [{ _loop = 0 },{ _loop < count _unitsGroup},{ _loop = _loop + 1}] do { _guy = _unitsGroup select _loop; _guy setSkill (_AI_skillArray select _loop); if (_loop == 0) then {_guy moveInDriver _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 1) then {_guy moveInGunner _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 2) then {_guy moveInCommander _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 3) then {_guy moveInCargo _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 4) then {_guy moveInCargo _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 5) then {_guy moveInCargo _vcl_new}; if (_loop == 6) then {_guy moveInCargo _vcl_new}; And still nothing, either one unit spawns in cargo sometimes two units but the rest of the units assigned to cargo do not spawn in the vehicle. Ive searched all over the web and am out of ideas. S.O.S. Edit: Ok so now i have 4 soldiers each named "s1","s2 ,"s3","s4" leader being "s1". Their vehicle is named "h1". In the leaders init i put: nul = [this, 3, 10, "west_spawn","West_WP.sqf"] execVM "AI_respawn\AI_respawn_init.sqf"; s1 assignAsDriver h1; [s1,s2,s3,s4] orderGetIn true; In the vehicle "h1" init i put: nul = [this, 3, 10, "WS1"] execVM "AIvcl_respawn_WP\AIvcl_respawn_WP_init.sqf"; The 4 soldiers spawn board vehicle drive to waypoint they get killed they respawn, the vehicle respawns but the soldiers do not board the vehicle again. Ive almost reached my goal as now the vehicle doesnt drive off with missing cargo i just need to find a way so that [s1,s2,s3,s4] orderGetIn true; Repeats.

dm610 1 Posted August 8, 2012 does anybody knows how to make "orderGetIn true;" repeat continuously? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dm610 1 Posted August 8, 2012 so nobody on bi forums knows how to do this. at this point i have a trigger with the same [s1,s2,s3,s4] orderGetIn true; but i cant get the trigger to repeat somebody has to know how to do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riouken 15 Posted August 8, 2012 This spawns a group and a vehicle and has the units board the vehicle. group3 = [_pos1, east, ["TK_INS_Soldier_TL_EP1","TK_INS_Soldier_EP1","TK_INS_Soldier_AR_EP1"]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; group3veh = [[_pos1 select 0, (_pos1 select 1) - 5,.5], east, ["BTR40_MG_TK_INS_EP1"]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; _nObject = nearestObject [_pos1, "BTR40_MG_TK_INS_EP1"]; { _x action ["getInCargo", _nObject]} forEach (units group3); Just change the _pos1 , groups and veh for your tastes.

kylania 568 Posted August 8, 2012 does anybody knows how to make "orderGetIn true;" repeat continuously?so nobody on bi forums knows how to do this. at this point i have a trigger with the same You wouldn't want that, otherwise your soldiers would never fight they'd just constantly be getting back in their vehicles. As with many posts by many editors recently you should release yourself from the "respawning waves of CoDish baddies" idea and think of groups as one time things. You spawn a singular group, you give it orders and you let it go. When it dies you spawn an entirely different group, give it the same orders and let it go. You don't "respawn" the same group. Of course if you're not cleaning up groups you'll run into the group limit, so as part of the "Is the group dead?" check delete the actual group as well. You could reuse the group name, but the point is that you don't want commands to "repeat continuously" you want to issue the same commands to different groups. Than again, I'm burned out of the Domi style hours long fighting the same things over and over style maps and really enjoy the one-shot-at-victory small scale scenarios much more. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive been playing the one-shot mil-sim missions and scenarios and its been a blast, but ive been wanting to make a sp mission template where theres a single enemy base that is guarded by the opfor and the blufor have there own base which they spawn board vehicles and attack, pretty straightforward. itll be similar to bf and cod in that you can just jump into a match get into the action immediately but encompases arma's approach to realism which makes the action more intense and not so dramatic\cinematic like cod. Thats my overall goal, so if it is possible to have an init command repeat or a trigger to repeat could you please show me as im still slowly learning how to script and its only very simple things as of now.

riouken 15 Posted August 10, 2012 You need three things to make it work. 1. You need to put the functions module down in your mission or you need to be running the mod CBA. 2. You need to create a center for the side you wish to spawn. If you do not have any other units of that type preplaced on the map then put down one unit of the same side and set its probability of presence to 0%. Or you can progmaticly create the center. 3. If your running this from a trigger, then you need to change "_pos1" to "pos1" and declare it before you run the above code. Or hard code the position in the code above.
