CptDezusa 31 Posted April 26, 2017 I was wondering how can i set up that if you fly helicopter or a plain the trigger zone won't trigger ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CptDezusa 31 Posted May 8, 2017 Hi so is it possible that if you fly a helicopter the trigger won't trigger, i have been reading her to find out if someone have asked it before but i can't find no on. In my mission you can fly helicopters to another objective but on the way you can pas some markers that have mission on it and i don't want them get trigger.

CptDezusa 31 Posted May 8, 2017 can you explain this a little bit more for me pls i did this, than i fly over so that works, but when i land the trigger won't spawn the units. is the 1000 meter in high or is that the distance of the trigger to spawn the units ? and and what is the false at the end. Sorry if this is alitelbit off, but i really will like this to work [ "SpawnFarm", "markerFarm", 1000, "({ getPosATL _x select 2 < 100.0 } count thisList ) > 0", "EAST", "ANYPLAYER", false, "", "" ] call T8U_fnc_TriggerSpawn; It was wrong this, but still dont work can i fly over the marker [ "SpawnFarm", "markerFarm", 300, "({ getPosATL _x select 2 < 500.0 } count thisList ) > 0", "ANYPLAYER", "PRESENT", false, "", "" ] call T8U_fnc_TriggerSpawn; hmm i did 500.0 because i thought that was the height of it I got it to work man thank you for this getPosATL _x select 2 < 20.0 that's the height. Again thanks for this, it's really good [ "SpawnFarm", "markerFarm", 300, "({ getPosATL _x select 2 < 20.0 } count thisList ) > 0", "ANYPLAYER", "PRESENT", false, "", "" ] call T8U_fnc_TriggerSpawn; 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neodyn 14 Posted July 3, 2017 Hello, maybe i can't find it. But is it possible to spawn units via script on a certain marker and then let the spawned units move them to an marked area. Because it seems to me there is only an option to spawn units in an marked area and let them patrol in this area where the got spawned. Sorry i think i found the correct option: mySpawnContainer = [ [ [ BASIC ], [ "ATTACK", “mkr” ], [ COMMUNICATION ] ], [ [ _group, "marker" ], [ "ATTACK", “attackHERE” ] ] ]; "mkr": ? "marker": Spawn area "attackHERE": marked area which has to be attacked by the spawned units But is it possible to run this call in an script during the mission?

Andres97 17 Posted December 31, 2017 Since last update T8 is showing a lot of 'undefined variable' script errors. As far as I could check, the script still works normally, but just in case it would be nice if someone could check thoroughly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ireson 10 Posted March 22, 2018 There seems to be an issue with waypoint creation as many groups seem to get a first waypoint at 000 000 and then the other waypoints. Edit: According to the debug, they are FLANking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackheart_Six 279 Posted June 9, 2019 Good Day All, I know this script is a dead product but it works really great. I am trying to create a spawn position on the water at a designated area marker. Here is the error message. If you turn on debug, the units spawn, but they always spawn on the coast nearest the area marker.

I've tried to fix it, but I have limited knowledge writing code. But I love to learn, so I would like to walk through it, and see if I am close in my deductions. First the script.....

Error in expression and Error in position. With the error being 0 elements provided, 3 expected. I believe the first item needing correct is the "error in expression". If that is corrected then the "error in position" may correct itself. Are there ANY experienced coders on these forums, that may be able to fix this issue? (In my best foghorn leghorn voice, "That's joke son, you see, a joke!"). I'll keep plugging way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackheart_Six 279 Posted June 9, 2019 Appreciate the help, .kju. Unfortunately, did not solve the issue. I tried several different ways also. And tried to use BIS_fnc_findSafePos to force it on the water. No luck. I am going to look for other solutions, like EOS, etc. I may revisit it. The reason I like this system is the built in tasks to patrol, attack, defend, etc. etc. It works pretty well. Once again thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blackheart_Six 279 Posted June 10, 2019 Hi .kju, Different error from before. Also different results at mission start. The units don't spawn at all. My setup is 2 markers - one over land, one over open water. Original code, both units spawn, the one over water spawns at the nearest coastal position. The over land spawns correctly.
