Random Displacements (mission building system)

[blackabbot 11]

Hi Drongo, one small problem I've encountered is when changing in the start and preferences sqf rdfriendly side to west and rdenemy side to east capturing objectives and mission ending don't work.

Could it be because you have the AAF faction which are independent in the arma 3 editor set as the East faction in your Scripts

Quick update, setting rdfriendly side to west in the start and preferences sqf I've placed a group of AAF and made Independents are friendly with Blufor in the editor and the scripts run fine, the only problem that remains is if you want to play as the Blufor side

Blackabbot, could you please upload your mission?

[blackabbot 11]

Sorry Drongo as I said in a previous post i hav'nt learned how to upload my missions yet. i am working on that but Just to clarify in the editor i place a game logic and objective marker on the control tower on stratis airport, I lead a Blufor Nato rifle Squad to take the tower, Csat opfor spawn as rdEnemySide and my squad kill them all but no objective captured shows up on screen and the mission does not end, even though i have edited the start and preference sqf in your scipts from rdFriendlySide = West and rdEnemySide = East

By the way i think you do great work for the arma community i hope you will be able to fix this, Thanks

Hi Drongo, Just to let you know i've solved the problem. Looking through your AO v3 Mission generator scripts i noticed you had Blufor as player in the Takistan mission, so i copied the player group sqf from the AO misc folder and pasted it into the RD Misc folder and added nul = [this] execVM "RD\Misc\PlayerGroup.sqf"; into my players init and it works , objectives are captured and the mission ends. theres probably an easier way than this through scripting but this solution works for me,Thanks

I just setup a mission similar to how you described it and I could take the objective. Also the AO scripts use different variable names to RD, so they shouldn't affect each other. I really don't know what is going on.

Anyway, plans for the next release are enemy helicopters. I am also working on a campaign generator system.

Hi Drongo, I owe you an apology for wasting your time , because my scripting knowledge is very limited I did not edit your preference sqf properly.

// What side are the players?

//rdFriendlySide = West;

rdFriendlySide = Resistance;.................I did not change this to West

// What side are the enemies?

rdEnemySide = East;

Your scripts are flawless and work how they should.

Looking forward to your campaign generator system. Thanks again

No worries blackabbot, it can be tough getting started with Arma scripting. Let me know if you have any other questions or problems.

Drongo this looks like a pretty cool set of scripts. I am having some issues though. The enemy spawns as blue force???? I thought I changed the sides in one of the scripts... any suggestions?

How is the lag when using this script to spawn enemies?

[Drongo69 117]

It depends on how many you choose to spawn, but in general it is very mild and temporary.
