AI Spawn Script Pack HELP!

[Amerikaner00 10]

My problem is that i use the militarize sqf and the patrols are all passive they don't even twitch when i past them. in other words if i am an OPFOR and i make a BLUEFOR patrol, and i pas by them they just don't do anything and i need them to attack, not just walk and say hi.

Here is the code i am using on the Gamelogic :

nul = [this,2,300,true,false,false,[30,15],0.1,0.75,nil,nil,nil] execVM "militarize.sqf";

What is wrong? or is this script only made to occupy and thats it?

I have been using this script for a few weeks now and it works pretty well. I'm not seeing the issue you are describing. When I use it to spawn units with the militarize.sqf they act normal (move around, patrol, go in and out of buidlings). The only difference I can see from your code and mine is that I use "default" for the AI skill level. Maybe try changing that in your line (change 0.75 to "default") just to try it.

@Amerikaner00,

Are you sure you have included LV_functions -folder and patrol files in your mission folder so that it looks like this:

If you have, would you like to send me the mission folder or .pbo so I can take closer look why you're having this issue?

I'm finding that for some reason, when I use the "fillhouse" scripts on Altis my map refuses to load, it just hangs until the game stops responding. Scripts probably need updating, since the game is still in development, things are bound to get broken.

[spunfin 34]

Ah ok. I actually haven't tested anything on Altis yet, but going to do it today and try to see what causes these issues! :)

Okay, I tested everything quickly on Altis and everything but fillHouse seems to work.

Like you said Phlux1, it gets stuck on loading.. And atm I really can't see why it would do that.

I'm working on it, but if anyone would like to check out if there's something obvious causes for this, here goes:

/*
			***		ARMA3Alpha FILL HOUSE SCRIPT v1.36 - by SPUn / lostvar	***

					Fills house or buildings in defined range with soldiers

		Calling the script:

				default: nul = [this] execVM "fillHouse.sqf";

				custom:  nul = [target, side, patrol, patrol type, spawn rate, radius, skills, group, 
								custom init, ID] execVM "fillHouse.sqf";

	Parameters:

target 		= 	center point 	(Game Logics/Objects/Marker name, ex: GL01 or this or "marker1")
side 		= 	1 or 2 or 3		(1 = blue team, 2 = red team, 3 = green team) 						DEFAULT: 2
patrol 		= 	true or false 	(if true, units will patrol) 									DEFAULT: true
patrol type = 	1 or 2 			(1=only inside building, 2=also outside of building) 						DEFAULT: 2
spawn rate  = 	1-100 OR Array 	(on how many percentage of possible positions are soldiers spawned) 					DEFAULT: 50
			NOTE: Array - you can also use following syntax: [amount,random amount] for example:
			[10,12] will spawn at least 10 units + random 12 units 
radius 		= 	1 or larger number (1=nearest building. if larger number, then all buildings in radius) 			DEFAULT: 1
skills 		= 	"default" 	(default AI skills) 										DEFAULT: "default"
			or	number	=	0-1.0 = this value will be set to all AI skills, ex: 0.8
			or	array	=	all AI skills invidiually in array, values 0-1.0, order:
	[aimingAccuracy, aimingShake, aimingSpeed, spotDistance, spotTime, courage, commanding, general, endurance, reloadSpeed] 
	ex: 	[0.75,0.5,0.6,0.85,0.9,1,1,0.75,1,1] 
group 		= 	group name or nil (if you want units in existing group, set it here. if nil, 					DEFAULT: nil
				new group is made) EXAMPLE: (group player)
custom init = 	"init commands" (if you want something in init field of units, put it here) 						DEFAULT: nil
			NOTE: Keep it inside quotes, and if you need quotes in init commands, you MUST use ' or "" instead of ".
			EXAMPLE: "hint 'this is hint';"
ID 			= 	number (if you want to delete units this script creates, you'll need ID number for them)		DEFAULT: nil

EXAMPLE: 	nul = [this, 2, true, 2, 50, 1, 0.75, nil, nil, 9] execVM "fillHouse.sqf";
		spawns in nearest building east soldiers in 50% of possible building positions with skill 0.75,
		and makes them patrol in & outside of that building

It gives no errors, just gets stuck on loading.

All external scripts/functions should be excluded from this issue since my other scripts uses them successfully on Altis.

Very weird since after all it's quite simple script.

I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the CQB AI changes and how they interact with buildings it may not be related to your script at all. I'm not in front of my home PC at the moment to test, but I'm thinking the problem is at BIS's end on this one, considering the changes they've made. I'm going to try placing some AI in and around buildings by other means when I get home and see if that causes the same issue.
