Make AI build more than 1 static defense at camps

[pcc 14]

In Commander_BuildTownDefenses.sqf, I changed if (Count _existingDefenses < 1)  to if (Count _existingDefenses < 5)  and increased the chances.

But it still only builds 1 defense per camp.

		if (_total > 0) then
		{
			ScopeName "CreateDefense";

			//Find empty layout position and create defense.
			for [{_count = 0},{_count < _total},{_count = _count + 1}] do
			{
				_position = (_layout Select 0) Select 0;
				_existingDefenses = NearestObjects[_position,_weapons,3];

				if (Count _existingDefenses < 5) then
				{
					_direction = (_layout Select 0) Select 1;
					_defense = _weapons Select Random (Count _weapons - 1);
					_type = _defenses Find _defense;

					if (_type != -1) then
					{
						//Calculate % chance per minute of constructing defense. At game start chance is much higher so there will be starting defenses.
						_chanceModifier = (BIS_WF_Constants GetVariable "TOWNCONSTRUCTIONTIME") / 60;
						if (time < 45) then {_chanceModifier = 10};
						
						_chance = _defenseChances Select _type;
						if (!IsNil "_chance") then
						{  						
							if (_chance > 0) then
							{
								_chance = (_town GetVariable "SV") / 20 * _chanceModifier + _chance * _chanceModifier;
								if (_chance > 0) then
								{
									_script = _defenseScripts Select _type;
									[_type,_side,_position,_direction,true,true] ExecVM (corePath + Format["Server\Construction\Construction_%1.sqf",_script]);
								};
							};
						};
					};

					BreakTo "CreateDefense";
				};
			};
		};

Not tested, but you might try this:

 

In custom Init_Common add a new variable, like:

CampDefensesNumber = 3;

Copy script Server\Init\Init_DefenseLayout.sqf to your mission file.  Where it has this:

Spoiler

//If a layout does not exist then auto-generate one.
else
{
	_direction = ((Direction _location) - 45 + Random 90) % 360;
	_position = [_location,13 + Random 6,_direction] Call GetPositionFrom;
	_layout = [[_position,_direction]];
};

 

 

Change it to this:

Spoiler

//If a layout does not exist then auto-generate one.
else
{
	Private ["_count"];
	for [{_count = 0},{_count < CampDefensesNumber},{_count = _count + 1}] do
	{
		_direction = ((Direction _location) - 45 + Random 90) % 360;
		_position = [_location,13 + Random 6,_direction] Call GetPositionFrom;
		_layout = [[_position,_direction]];
	};
};

Appreciate the help.  Unfortunately, AI still only building 1 static defense. 

 

Edit: Actually AI is building more static defenses now just saw a D30 with spg9.  Decreased the variable TOWNCONSTRUCTIONTIME.

But for reason though it doesn't happen consistently.  Also sometimes they built the weapons in the same spot but both weapons are still functioning.

 

I noticed by default mortars are built 3 at a time and spaced out but they don't get manned by crew like other static defenses.  So I copied the loop from Construction_Mortar.sqf to Construction_StationaryDefense.sqf, but they always get build at same spot resulting in overlapping.  Not sure, how I can get them to space out more.

Could add a nearObjects check for a nearby static, and have the new one reposition if one is found at the position.  A small radius check like 5-7 meters and nearObjects works fine.

 

As far as mortar crews, they would come from town garrison units.  Garrison units are dependent upon a town's supply value.  Lower SV and fewer units, more SV and more units.  Each town only has a limited number of garrison units to man static defenses, and with more statics added they might go to other statics elsewhere.  When reinforce happens they won't go over the limit set by the town's current SV.

 

Defenses use garrison: PVFunctions\RequestGarrisonDefense.sqf
Virtual garrison loop: VG\UpdateDefensiveVG.sqf
Town defenses loop: Server\Server_UpdateTownVirtualDefenses.sqf
