Setting Correct Timer On Defend Co-op Mission

[RizlaUK 4]

Hi,

 

I'm running an Invade & Annex Server and i'm trying to change a few things. The main things being when the mission turns into a defend and the A.I. counter attack. It's setup in such a way that when the Bluefor have killed most of the Opfor and there is only around 15 Opfor left a 6 minute countdown is activated and what should happen is;

 

a. the timer expires and if Bluefor are in the AO area then it's classed as a succesful defend.

b. the remaining 15 Opfor are elimated before the timer ends, also a successful defend but it ends the timer early.

c. Bluefor are elimated and a new 6 minute timer is activated, if the Bluefor don't re-occupy the area within the 6 minute countdown, it's a failed defend. (This behaviour should happen at any time during the Defend, basically if the Opfor elimate all the human players they need to get back to the AO within 6 mins or it's failed and a new AO will spawn)/*

 

As it stands at the minute, what is happening is;

 

a. we get to the 15 remaining Opfor and the timer kicks in, but when it expires, it doesn't despawn the last few Opfor and activate a successful defend.(we have to still find the last 15, which gets boring)

b. we are elimated by Opfor and the AO stays in defend mode forever, until we get back and kill all the Opfor.

 

I wonder if somebody could help with this please?

 

Regards

 

Rizla
