AI respawn and AI vehicle respawn?

[zdowggg 1]

Hi i was looking through fourms and i cant find an updated way for arma 3 to respawn AI and ai vehicles. I want AI to respawn in vehicles and go to a way point and if they die to do it again

[falconx1 13]

untested but try this:

//make a marker called "Attck" it's going to be the marker where ai is going to attack
AttackLocation = getMarkerPos "Attck";

//---Loop forever
while {true} do {

// wat side to count? west east? spawn more AI when all east units dead
   waitUntil {({(side _x) == east} count allUnits) == 0};

//marker east vehocles spawn at
VehicleSpawner = "yourmarker"; 

_grp1 = createGroup east;
_grp1 = [markerPos VehicleSpawner, EAST, ["O_MRAP_02_hmg_F"], [], [], [0.25, 0.25]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;


_wp0 = _grp1 addWaypoint [AttackLocation,0];
_wp0 setWaypointType "SAD";
_wp0 setWaypointFormation "LINE";
_wp0 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE";
_wp0 setwaypointcombatmode "YELLOW";
_wp0 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";


  sleep 5;

};

can you tell me the part ware i can make an ai vehicle respawn over and over and ill go from there

[falconx1 13]

while {true} do {

//marker vehicles spawn at
VehicleSpawner = "yourmarker"; 

//_grp1 = createGroup east;   //you actually dont need this line of code
_grp1 = [markerPos VehicleSpawner, EAST, ["O_MRAP_02_hmg_F"], [], [], [0.25, 0.25]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

  sleep 5;

};  

every few seconds a vehicle with crew will spawn at a marker u made inside the editor.

so open the editor and make a marker and name the marker "yourmarker"

and make a file called init.sqf in your mission directory and place the code above

Orange text is just comments and not code being executed.

This first line, as it says, creates a variable which is the position of the marker named "Attck".

//make a marker called "Attck" it's going to be the marker where ai is going to attack
AttackLocation = getMarkerPos "Attck";

This line (completed with the } after sleep at the end) means "keep doing this as long as true is true :)

//---Loop forever
while {true} do {

This is what respawns your guys, it's waiting for there to be no more EAST units alive. The script waits here till everyone is dead.

// wat side to count? west east? spawn more AI when all east units dead
   waitUntil {({(side _x) == east} count allUnits) == 0};

Now that everyone is dead we use this line to get the name of a marker where we want the bad guys to spawn on, "yourmarker" in this case.

//marker east vehocles spawn at
VehicleSpawner = "yourmarker"; 

These lines create a group of an Ifrit.

_grp1 = createGroup east;
_grp1 = [markerPos VehicleSpawner, EAST, ["O_MRAP_02_hmg_F"], [], [], [0.25, 0.25]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

These lines make a waypoint at the marker location we created at the top.

_wp0 = _grp1 addWaypoint [AttackLocation,0];
_wp0 setWaypointType "SAD";
_wp0 setWaypointFormation "LINE";
_wp0 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE";
_wp0 setwaypointcombatmode "YELLOW";
_wp0 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";

This line waits 5 seconds, then checks for everyone to be dead.

  sleep 5;

};

You could condense it down to this:

while {true} do {

waitUntil {({(side _x) == east} count allUnits) == 0};
   sleep 5;

grp = [getMarkerPos "heliBase", opfor, ["O_MRAP_02_hmg_F"], [], [], [0.25, 0.25]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
null = [grp, (getPos player)] call BIS_fnc_taskAttack;
sleep 5;
};

ok i got the one unit to spawn only problem now is it needs to be a hunter and not an op for vehicle also i want a nother car with it and 2 panthers with it

is there any way if a place a blue for unit on my editor i can just make that unit respawn that way i can give it markers more easy and stuff if not continue with this

gess what im asking is if i place blur for vehicles on the editor is there any way i can make them respawn over and over on my marker that way when i place new units in my editor thel respawn on my marker

[kylania 567]

You've got all the code you need right there. If you wanted blufor instead of opfor and a hunter instead of an ifrit there's only a few things you need to change in the code. I've broken it down line by line so it should be pretty easy to tell what to change, give it shot. :)

Please can someone help - I just cant get my head round respawning vehicles.

I am using the code below to spawn a Gorgon, driver and gunner which then proceed to patrol round their waypoints. The $64,000 question is what would I need to add to this to make the vehicle respan afer it has been destroyed

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

	_con2GRP2 = createGroup EAST;  

	_con2 = createVehicle ["O_APC_Wheeled_02_rcws_F", getMarkerPos "c1a", [],0,"NONE"];
	_con2  setDir 280;

	_VarName = "con2"; 
	_con2 SetVehicleVarName _VarName; 
           call compile format["%1 = _con2", _VarName]; 
           clearMagazineCargoGlobal  _con2;
           clearWeaponCargoGlobal _con2;

           _con2pilot = _con2GRP2 createunit ["O_soldierU_AR_F", [0,0,1], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
           _VarName = "con2pilot2"; 
           _con2pilot SetVehicleVarName _VarName; 
           call compile format["%1 = _con2pilot", _VarName];

          _con2pilot moveInDriver _con2; 
	_con2pilot setCombatMode "BLUE";
	_con2pilot setBehaviour "SAFE";
           _con2pilot allowDamage true;
           _con2pilot setCaptive false;
	sleep 3.0;

           _con2gunner = _con2GRP2 createunit ["O_soldierU_AR_F", [0,0,1], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];

	_con2gunner SetVehicleVarName _VarName;
           call compile format["%1 = _con2gunner", _VarName];
	_con2gunner moveInTurret [_con2, [0]];
	_con2gunner setCombatMode "RED";
	_con2gunner setBehaviour "SAFE";

 		_con2 lock true;



_waypoint0 = _con2GRP2 addwaypoint[getmarkerpos "c1b",0];

_waypoint6 setwaypointtype "cycle"; 
_waypoint6 setWaypointTimeout [0, 0, 0];
_waypoint6 setWaypointSpeed "NORMAL";
_waypoint6 setWaypointCompletionRadius 0;

if (true) exitWith {};        

Will be forever in your debt if someone can help with this - I am sure the answer is somewhere in the forums but I cant find it

Thanks in advance

Oh forget to mention this will be running on a dedi server
