Unit Deletion

[sprucewaine 1]

How would you go about caching units only to be deleted later, but doing it all locally?

 

Ive set up a nice script that populates towns with random patrols, now i just need a way for the patrols to get deleted once the player leaves the area.

Spoiler

//config
enemyFaction = [
	(configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "Indep" >> "IND_C_F"),
	1,
	false
] call BIS_fnc_returnChildren select {inheritsFrom _x isEqualTo (configFile >> "Man")};
publicVariable "enemyFaction";


//variables
centerposition = [worldSize / 2, worldsize / 2, 0];
publicVariable "centerposition";

Locations = nearestLocations [centerposition, ["NameVillage","NameCityCapital","NameCity","NameLocal","Airport"], worldSize / 2];
publicVariable "Locations";

trigArea = 2000;
publicVariable "trigArea";

//functions
HNK_fnc_createInfPatrols = {
	params ["_trig","_locName","_activation"];
		for "_x" from (floor random 2) to 0 step -1 do {
			_pos = position _trig;
			_safePos = [_pos, 0, trigArea] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
			_grp = [_safepos, resistance, selectRandom enemyFaction] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
			_grp deleteGroupWhenEmpty true;
			myCurator addCuratorEditableObjects [units _grp,true ]; //debug
			[_grp, getPos leader _grp, 1000] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;
 		};
};

HNK_fnc_createVehPatrols = {
	params ["_trig","_locName","_activation"];
		for "_x" from (floor random [0,0,1]) to 0 step -1 do {
			_pos = position _trig;
			_safePos = [_pos, 0, trigArea] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
 		};
};

HNK_fnc_setupTrigger = {
	params ["_trig","_locName","_activation"];
	
	if (_activation) then {
		[_trig,_locName,_activation] spawn HNK_fnc_createInfPatrols;
		
	} else {
		
	};
	
};

HNK_fnc_createTrigger = {
	{
	   _pos = position _x;
	   _trg = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", _pos];
	   _trg setTriggerArea [trigArea, trigArea, 0, false];
	   _trg setTriggerActivation ["ANYPLAYER", "PRESENT", true];
	   _trg setTriggerStatements ["this", "[thisTrigger,_x,true] call HNK_fnc_setupTrigger", "[thisTrigger,_x,false] call HNK_fnc_setupTrigger"];
	   
	   
	   _m = createMarker [format ["mrk%1",random 100000],_pos]; //debug 5 V
	   _m setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE";
	   _m setMarkerSize [trigArea,trigArea];
	   _m setMarkerBrush "Solid";
	   _m setMarkerAlpha 0.25;
	   _m setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; 


	} forEach Locations;
};



//execute
[] spawn HNK_fnc_createTrigger;

 

 

HNK_fnc_createVehPatrols does nothing, thats for later once i figure out how to delete the spawned units. :P Also i ment to type selectRandom instead of floor random.

Doesn't ArmA 3 have a default version for this now? https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Arma_3_Dynamic_Simulation

I am pretty sure that there is still a group limit attached to that. Its like 288 or something now, bumped from 144.....

My group used this at one point, I think
