Way to add more sea life in a certain area?

[cpl_hicks 2]

Hello, does anyone know how to concentrate more sea life in a desired area?

By that I mean the vanilla turtle, tuna, fish, shark etc..???

Thanks

Thanks Dr, but first I would like to figure out how to do it with the config viewer in the A3 editor screen like the area in the picture below but in this specific area:

configFile >> CfgWorlds >> Name_of_map >> AmbientA3

In there you will see for instance under path:

configfile >> "CfgWorlds" >> "Stratis" >> "AmbientA3" >> "Radius40_60" >> "Species" >> "CatShark_F"

cost = 6;

groupSpawnRadius = 10;

maxAlt = 10;

maxCircleCount = "(4 * (WaterDepth interpolate [1,30,0,1]))";

maxWorldCount = 10;

minAlt = -80;

spawnCount = 1;

MY question is what do I do now?

How do I change it?

Do I go in the mission folder and edit the mission text file?

Can this be changed in game?

do I do the change in "init" for a unit or module?

Thanks

any time you use offsetY= and things seem to be up in the air you can just delete the offset.

hope this helps

Thanks, but where do I put this?

Do I create a init.sqf file in the mission folder along side the mission.sqm folder and paste this text into it as is and just change the variables?

Or does it get shoe horned in the mission.sqm file as added text?

Thanks

You could create a script with an array of Sea life to spawn and use something like SHK_Pos to get random water positions and spawn them in.

Yes but see question above......

[colinm9991 20]

Well, you'd initialize it via init.sqf.

Hello,

I am new to script but i want to ask you that can I increase numbers of animals in game without adding any different scripts ? I found a config file in the file animals_f.pbo.
