Best way to spawn veh after killed or ammo depleted.

[jandrews 116]

Hey all. Was wondering the best way or if this has already been listed here. I googled with little luck.

Anyhow, I would like to have a boat and aa vehicle spawn at random locations to cause headaches to players:). Not very sure how to do this. Any ideas . And then have them respawn once killed or ammo depleted. Most likely killed as players will need to destroy them. I figure the vehicles will patrol a large area so giving them unlimited fuel.

Ideas or links to already listed threads. Thanks!

Ok, I know, post your code and may be we can help. I understand. This is where i am so far. I am not sure how to:

 

A. RESPAWN this stuff once the vehicle is dead ( I have read using eventkilled) or

 

B. how to delete the vehicle IF it becomes "stuck" somehow for say 10 minutes or so. You know arma driving.

// unit spawns on getPos, unit deletes from several ways (dead or stuck)
// nul = [] execVM "WaterPatrol.sqf";

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

// game logic markers
// random position for patrol

_water = getPos ([water1, water2, water3, water4, water5] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom);

_boatGroup = createGroup east;
    _boat = "I_Boat_Armed_01_minigun_F" createVehicle _water;
    waitUntil{!isNull _boat};
    _boat setVehicleAmmo 1;
    _boat setFuel 1;
    _boat allowCrewInImmobile true;
        "I_C_Soldier_Para_7_F" createUnit [_water,_boatGroup];
        "I_C_Soldier_Para_2_F" createUnit [_water,_boatGroup];
        "I_C_Soldier_Para_3_F" createUnit [_water,_boatGroup];
        ((units _boatGroup) select 0) assignAsDriver _boat;
        ((units _boatGroup) select 0) moveInDriver _boat;
        ((units _boatGroup) select 1) assignAsGunner _boat;
        ((units _boatGroup) select 1) moveInGunner _boat;
        ((units _boatGroup) select 2) assignAsCommander _boat;
        ((units _boatGroup) select 2) moveInCommander _boat;
    [_boatGroup, getPos _water, 3500] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol;

// wait for dead or stuck

waitUntil { sleep 5; !(alive _boat) or ()};

sleep 10;
deleteGroup _boatGroup;

Lastly, I am always open to suggestions for more efficient code. Am no novice here. :)

Ok I found entity killed event handler. However not sure how to use it.

_id = addMissionEventHandler ["entitykilled",{ _this execVM "my.sqf" }];

How do I tie this in to the boat being dead?

[jandrews 116]

_boat = addMissionEventHandler ["entitykilled",{ _this execVM "WaterPatrol.sqf" }];

Do I place this in the init.sqf? Anyone know if this is how this works? Am not at PC now. Will try later.
