bangabob 42 Posted May 3, 2013 Cheers for this mate, I got it working with help and code customization by/from SPUn!@BangaBob - Is that the only way to do it or? Dirty Haz Yeah. Feel free to adapt the script with more squads but good luck. I've tried that route and things get very weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunter Severloh 4020 Posted May 6, 2013 ill see if I can change it to get it to work with arma 2 this weekend. Wouldn't this be a matter of changing the classnames for the units in the script, or is there coding specific to Arma3 that would prevent this script from working for Arma2CO?

bangabob 42 Posted May 6, 2013 Yould need to change _eastHeavyInfantry = ["OIA_InfSquad_Weapons","OIA_InfTeam","OIA_InfTeam_AT"]; _eastHouseInfantry = ["OIA_InfTeam","OIA_InfTeam_AT"]; _eastMotorisedInfantry = ["O_Ifrit_GMG_F","O_Ifrit_MG_F"]; and case 0: { if (_debugHint) then {Hint "EAST AI selected";}; _heavyInfantry = _eastHeavyInfantry; _houseInfantry = _eastHouseInfantry; _motorisedInfantry = _eastMotorisedInfantry; _grpType = "OPF_F"; _sideAdjust = East; _GrpClass = "infantry"; _heavyGrpClass = "infantry"; _aiSide = "EAST"; _detectionSide = "WEST"; _eastTanks = ""; }; To ARMA 2 commands so _grpType = "OPF_F"; would be _grpType = "RU"; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMOxx75 10 Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) Is it possible to have (best way to describe it sorry) hooks into units that spawn? For instance once the group has spawned from a particular marker is there a way to use a trigger to essentially hook that unit so I can control things like giving them way points and changing their behavior? I was avoiding asking if you could add additional parameters for these things if there was a way for me to do it externally. Something like what this thread is talking about: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?152935-Naming-a-group-created-in-a-script-when-you-call-the-script Edited May 10, 2013 by JMOxx75 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedog88 4 Posted May 14, 2013 how would i set this up to spawn more random group sizes. it seams that the script only spawns 4 guys per square provided you disable reinforcements, vehicles and extra squads. when i added in extra squads they kept spawning and spawning. might have been due to my revive script however, more random group sizes would be nice.

All the group name are private to each marker and i can forsee many problems when trying to 'hook' them ---------- Post added at 14:36 ---------- Previous post was at 14:34 ---------- how would i set this up to spawn more random group sizes. it seams that the script only spawns 4 guys per square provided you disable reinforcements, vehicles and extra squads. when i added in extra squads they kept spawning and spawning. might have been due to my revive script however, more random group sizes would be nice. You can add more group types to the pools at the top of the script. This will spawn different sized groups. But individually creating units will require a new perspective on the script.

mantls 2 Posted May 27, 2013 @TheDog88: The 3. Param in the bis_fnc_spawngroup function determines the amount/type of units which are spawned. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_spawnGroup So in order to randomise the amount a bit more you'd have to do something like: _num = random 20; // max amount per group [getPos aPos, EAST, _num,[],[],[0.25,0.35],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // change 1. param to your desired position Cheers.

mantls 2 Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) Hey, I'm having some problems with the script. this is how i call it. if (IsServer) then { _grids = []; _counter = 1; _amount = 157; while {_counter < _amount + 1} do { Call compile format [' _grids set [_counter, "ins_%1"];', _counter]; _counter = _counter + 1; }; if (!isMultiplayer) then { hint "#1 worked";}; //choose random spots _counter = 1; _amount = 85; _InsAreas = []; while {_counter < _amount + 1} do { _pick = [_grids call BIS_fnc_selectRandom]; _grids = _grids - _pick; _InsAreas = _InsAreas + _pick; _counter = _counter + 1; }; if (!isMultiplayer) then { hint "#2 worked"; _test = count _InsAreas; hint format ["%1 Areas", _test]; }; _amount = count _grids; _counter = 0; while {_counter < _amount + 1} do { _mark = _grids select _counter; _mark setMarkerAlpha 0; _counter = _counter + 1; }; if (!isMultiplayer) then { hint "#3 worked";}; _amount = count _InsAreas; _counter = 0; while {_counter < _amount + 1} do { _mark = _InsAreas select _counter; Null = [_mark,True,False,350,true,0,true] execVM "EOS.sqf"; _counter = _counter + 1; }; }; This way it returns an Error in line 113 saying: _spotfriendlies = [u]#[/u]createTrigger [........]; Error: 0 Elements provided, 3 expected. I know that the Script doesn't find the markerpos, i just dont know why however. Ive tried putting _mark into quotation marks (just to make sure) "" but while that didnt cause an error it still retursn [0,0,0] as postion. EDIT: Alright, solved it ^^ The {_counter < _amount + 1} was the problem. Sorry for bothering, should've known. cheers Edited June 15, 2013 by mantls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KevsNoTrev 44 Posted June 15, 2013 Hey BangaBob, great script. I am using this in conjunction with SHK_pos to get a random number of markers to give a bit of dyanmic range to the mission. My question is regarding using SHK_buildingpos in your script. The range is 50m (this is fine- I know I can extend if I want to) Hhow do I make the units patrol if they don't find a building within range? I don't like them just standing there 'waiting to be shot' thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe edit that to get units which can't be placed anywhere to default into a patrol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although why don't you want a helicopter to spawn the zones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sbua16 19 Posted June 26, 2013 Is it just me, or is the skill of 'spawned' AI a lot higher than what we've set at as in the options. Spawned Enemy AI will have close to 90% accuracy, whereas enemy that is placed manually within the editor will have a noticeably lower accuracy level. I've noticed this not only with EOS, but with the any other script that spawns AI (including the 'site' modules within the editor). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
