Enemy occupation system (eos)

Markers are not refreshed for the JIP... Invisible one stay default until there is one capture...

Is it possible to have a 30% of spawning 1 APC? Since for my mission, I found if I just used random 1, it spawned way too many vehicles.

[mariodu62 5]

in files eos_init and eos_spawninfantry you have _currentmarker instead of _currentmarKER.

could you explain how you used the Gamelogic? I've never used them so far.

Thanks for the update. Just wanted to say this script is AWESOME. Used it in an OP for my group I had been working on for a few weeks, OP had 6 OBJ's and one final OBJ, (should be on Armaholic soon, Operation Green Mamba) all using EOS. The larger objectives had dynamic battlefield enabled, and that worked extremely well. We took our second objective, and after about 5 minutes started getting hammered by enemy reinforcements, so before we were able to move out to OBJ3 we had to hunker down and defend OBJ2. Also spawned an enemy attack chopper which took me completely by surprise and was awesome. Script worked flawlessly, I encourage those of you who use ACRE and have a team to play with to try my mission, it went very well.

Thanks Banga for the great script and continued updates!!

The game logic is a constant object which can be used to store variables through out the mission. In this case the server game logic holds all the eos markers and is used to set the market colours for all the jip players. Sorry for the block of writing. I'm on my phone

Great. I'll be sure to check your mission out myself

No prob! Thought so while looking through the script, i'll have to keep that in mind. Your script really is a lifesaver for weaker Servers :D.

hey BangaBob,

my units are still leaving the area when i use markers with a "B" size smaller than 100. It appears always when there is a chance that (random _eosMarkerSizeB * 0.5) is below 38~40.

setting a minimum distance works for me:

_InfMovDis = random _eosMarkerSizeB * 0.5;

if ( _InfMovDis < 40 ) then { _InfMovDis = 40; };		

0 = [_sideEOSInf, _currentPOS, _InfMovDis] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol;

[grillob3 11]

BangaBob how do i make a trigger to tell "task is completed" when EOS marker is green/clear?

try to modify _currentmarker by _currentmarKER ... it should be better after...

waituntil {"colorGreen"==(getMarkercolor "mkrName")};

Hint "eos cleared";

Ah yes. I will do this in the next version. So the group patrol will be anchored to the marker and not the position they spawned.

[bohicafool 12]

Great job! It works great no errors at last :)

[t-800a 151]

no, that doesn't interfere with the problem & workaround I mentioned.

[grillob3 11]

waituntil {"colorGreen"==(getMarkercolor "mkrName")};

Hint "eos cleared";

did not work.

Should i put in condition or activation?

[mantls 2]

in your eos_init.sqf it won't work anyway (afaik) as it's only run on the Server.

maybe try something like.

{

{waituntil {"colorGreen"==(getMarkercolor _x)};
hint "Area Cleared"; 
} forEach EOSmarkers;

No Idea if that'll work out, but give it a try.

[tinter 186]

I don't know how the script interprets decimal values like 0.5, but when I tried to use random 0.5 or even as low and random 0.01, not much was changed. I tried setting up something like if (30>random 100) then {1} else {0}, but I'm not too familiar with scripting and I'm not sure how I would return those values, since I know that code needs to be executed for then and else. That's all I've tried and I'm not sure what else to try.

[mariodu62 5]

Need variable definition in Gearbox...(for dedicated it should be necessary..)

private ["_eosMarkerArray","_eosTypeArray","_eosFactionsArray","_dynamicBattlefield"];

[tinter 186]

How would I best go about spawning a sniper team with this?

[bangabob 42]

Add the group name into eos_SpawnInfantry.sqf

[tinter 186]

Chances

_apchnc=0; if (30>random 100) then {_apchnc=1} else {_apchnc=0};

Add the group name into eos_SpawnInfantry.sqf

But then it spawns in with all the other's. I'd want it to be a group of it's own.

For both eos_GearBox and eos_JIP when local hosting (haven't tested dedicated server):

Error Undefined Variable In Expression: server

_eosMarkers=server getvariable "EOSmarkers";

Did you add the gamelogic called server?

[kahna 13]

Well now I feel stupid. Thanks Bob, it's working. Gonna get some EOS 1.8 play time in, I'll let you know if anything goes awry.
