BIS_alice_mainscope setVariable ["vehicleRarity" not working

[opendome 91]

Hi everyone!

 

Im trying to prevent alice from spawning these unsung civilians. Im using this code

 

 

BIS_alice_mainscope setVariable ["vehicleRarity",["uns_civ_doctor",10,"uns_civ_gvt_m",10,"uns_civ_gvt_f",10,"uns_civ_town_m",10,"uns_civ_town_f",10,"uns_civ_town_m2",10,"uns_civ_town_f2",10]]; 

 

but it doesn't seem to work?

[dreadpirate 173]

I think the Wiki has a typo, try "civilianRarity" instead of "vehicleRarity"

[opendome 91]

Thanks for the reply! Unfortunately I tried that as well but Im having the same issue, it almost seems like its spawning more of those

[dreadpirate 173]

Try other values than 10, like 0 or -1.

 

Alice and Silvie have been exhibiting some strange behaviour under the latest patches.

 

What sort of mission do you have? Maybe there's another way to go?

[opendome 91]

Hmmm yea its been a struggle every step of the way thats for sure. Im trying to make an MSO Vietnam mission (http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=13336) and it uses the (AEF)Wolffy.au Civ Setup Script

Because Alice doesn't exist for A3, there are a bunch of different civilian spawning scripts which might be ported to A2.

Civilian Occupation System, for instance, allows you to specify the classnames of civvies to spawn...

[opendome 91]

Oh this is for arma 2 oa and the scripts been out for longer than a3. Im trying to use it on an arma 2 oa mission

[dreadpirate 173]

What I mean is, I've taken A3 scripts and made them work in A2 with a little modification. If all you need is some civilians wandering around the villages, it shouldn't be that hard.

[opendome 91]

hmmm yea it just won't seem to work :( ive tried values like 100, -20, 10, 79 and they still spawn
