AI script to spawn at height

[acsriot 1]

So I'm making an ALIVE mission , and I'm using the Nimitz Addon so I have all the players and supports spawning on the character. I usually like to add a AI spawn script and I have made this one

"B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getmarkerpos "spawn", group player];

"B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getmarkerpos "spawn", group player];

"B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getmarkerpos "spawn", group player];

"B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getmarkerpos "spawn", group player];

"B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getmarkerpos "spawn", group player];

"B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getmarkerpos "spawn", group player];

"B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getmarkerpos "spawn", group player];

with a corresponding spawn marker and item with a add action , the trouble i'm having is how do I get the AI to spawn at the height of 18 so they don't just fall into the water

Try this:

for [{_i=0}, {_i < 7}, {_i = _i + 1}] do {									// 7 determines amount to spawn
_unit = "B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getMarkerPos "spawn", group player];
_unit setPos [getPos _unit select 0, getPos _unit select 1, 18];				// 18 determines height
};

It's a bit more efficient (not that you'll notice any performance increase, it's just good practice not to repeat code) and should do what you want.

dosen't seem to work =/ only spawns 1 and still spawns at standard 0 height

use this for height difference - setPosATL

as for not spawning stick a 0.5 sleep in to check - or randomise their position when spawing -

for [{_i=0}, {_i < 7}, {_i = _i + 1}] do { // 7 determines amount to spawn

_unit = "B_recon_TL_F" createUnit [getMarkerPos "spawn", group player];

_unit setPosATL [(getPosATL _unit select 0) + _i, getPosATL _unit select 1, (getPosATL _unit select 2) + 18];

sleep 0.5;

};

Oh yeah sorry about that. Mikie wouldn't it be best to use ASL as he's using a ship which is above water?
