Problem with Ambient Civs not spawning.

[Redphoenix 1540]

So, I am currently working on a MP mission on Panthera Island, but I am still at the basics.

I wanted to use the game logic now to create civilians and vehicles to give the map a bit more life.

Well, I was able to let vehicles spawn, but somehow not a single civilian showed up.

Codes for Ambient Civ Game Logic is as following:

this setVariable ["townlist",[bled]];this setVariable ["debug",true];

Civilian and Vehicle Module are using the same game logic. So somehow, there must be something wrong...

not sure if panthera has been set up for Ambient Civs.... have you tried your method on a stock map to rule out an error by yourself? atleast then you'll know for sure if it's panthera or just an issue in your code.

I just tried it on utes at Strelka and it work np

this setVariable ["townlist",[strelka]];this setVariable ["debug",true];

so as mentioned it could be a map issue.

Well, thats unfortunate.

That means that I have to put civilians down normaly and let them walk in a specific route I have to set down in the editor.

Or is there another script (or way) to bring some life into the cities?

Could try giving single civilians random patrol routes with BIS_fnc_taskPatrol or upsmon.

Setting their skill to 0 could help reduce server strain but this still isn't the most resourceful method.

Place down town game logics. You have to do that for custom maps AFAIK.

If you would have read carefully my post, you should have noticed that vehicles spawns are working, but no civs are spawning.

Which means, that I have placed down city game logics....

Yeah but vehicles always spawn with the module all the time AFAIK, not just in towns. The ambient civs work differently, they need CITY LOGIC.
