Spawn and disable spawn on command

[Nutzgo 15]

So I'm making a kind of "shooting range"-scenario with live targets. On one place, I want the players to have the possibility to spawn enemy units.

Per now I have a laptop with Init ->

Quote

this addAction ["Spawn",{spawned=true;publicVariable "Spawned";}];

I have a SpawnAI-module with VariableName "spawn1", synced with a trigger with condition ->"Spawned" - that starts spawning of 1 enemy AI. When he dies, a new one spawns after 15 seconds.
But I can't figure out a 'temporary disable' function. 

Help?

1. Make your trigger repeatable.
2. (Define your variable spawned on mission start, eg in the init of the module)
3. Change your laptop init to this:

this addAction ["Toggle Spawn",{spawned = [true,false] select spawned; publicVariable "spawned"}];

Explanation:

spawned = [true,false] select spawned;

same as 

spawned = if (spawned) then {true} else {false};

but faster. true values will be treated as 1 and false values as 0.

You may want to add a tag to your global variables as "spawned" is very generic and might be used by the game or another script.

( fixed IF statement in quote as it was round the wrong way )

Just...

spawned = !spawned

As simple as it gets.

Also the fastest way to flick a switch so to speak.

spawned = if (spawned) then {false} else {true};//0.0014ms
spawned = [true,false] select spawned;//0.0011ms
spawned = !spawned;//0.0006ms
