scripting with modules

[TheSithSiggi 0]

Hi!

 

We are a bit new to Arma scripting and could use some pointers:

 

My friend and I are working on an Escape like mission and we are wondering:

 

- Is it possible to write a script that for each town/village the Civilian presence and  BLUFOR Site module are generated when Independent players get within e.g. 1000m of that town/village?

 

My plan (not sure it's the right one):

 

- In Eden set out the modules with variable name defined

 

- make triggerSpawnScript.sqf --> write å script that applies a trigger area to each town/village that is activated when Independent is within 1000m of citycenter an executes the moduleSpawnScript.sqf below 

 

- make moduleSpawnScript.sqf --> write  some code that looks like this:  forEach town apply  "module variable name" call ["CityCenter"] BIS_fnc_locations 

 

-  Do all customFiles.sqf have to be executed via the init.sqf file? 

 

Are we on correct path? or way off?

 

thank you

Wouldn't it be better to have placed triggers run a single script that spawns the modules at the location?

 

What's the purpose of using BIS_fnc_locations?  Do those modules even use it?  I do know using "CityCenter" with BIS_fnc_Locations is rather disappointing.
