[RELEASE] Engima's Civilians
Engima's Civilians v0.90.40
by Engima
Description:
Engima's Civilians is a script that adds dynamic civilians to an Arma 3 mission. Civilians spawn near player(s) and are removed again when they are far away. Works on maps with enterable buildings.
You can customize how many civilians there will be, civilian units classes, the maximum number of groups to use, minimum spawn distance, maximum spawn distance, and blacklist markers to define areas where no civilians will be. You also add callbacks if you want to do something when units spawn or being removed.
Script works in singleplayer, multiplayer, hosted, dedicated, for JIPs, and on any map with enterable buildings.

The function call (or spawn) that starts the civilian script is beneath. This code are to be put in Engima\Civilians\ConfigAndStart.sqf. // Set civilian parameters. _parameters = [ ["UNIT_CLASSES", ["C_man_1", "C_man_1_1_F", "C_man_1_2_F"]], ["UNITS_PER_BUILDING", 0.1], ["MAX_GROUPS_COUNT", 100], ["MIN_SPAWN_DISTANCE", 50], ["MAX_SPAWN_DISTANCE", 500], ["BLACKLIST_MARKERS", []], ["HIDE_BLACKLIST_MARKERS", true], ["ON_UNIT_SPAWNED_CALLBACK", {}], ["ON_UNIT_REMOVE_CALLBACK", { true }], ["DEBUG", true] ]; // Start the civilian script _parameters spawn ENGIMA_CIVILIANS_StartCivilians; Documentation and a complete reference of set up parameters can be found in file "Engima\Civilians\Documentation.txt".
