I was asked several times on how to spawn them automatically , without any editing in the 3D editor and create multiple spawns. This is why i created this spawner : The scripts of ALIAS are NOT included ! This Spawner Script is supporting the following : Burper Farty Flamer Screamer Smuggler Sparky Steamer Strigoi Worm Everything in the description.ext , is ready to use with these scripts. There are settings for : Debug Max Number of the spawned scripts Blacklist Zone distance Safe distance spawn from players Select ( scripts ) The spawner will work automatically , without need of placing Markers in the 3Deditor. The spawn position will be random. #CAUTION : Inside the Description.ext , the initServer.sqf and the initplayerlocal.sqf , there are extra codes for Farty and Flamer Scripts. If they are not in use , they must be deleted. Credits and Thanks to : #SPECIAL THANKS TO ALIAS ! He was my motivation to start scripting. I'm following him all these years and for me , it's a unique person. The least that i can say is , thank you ALIAS for everything ! Thanks to All script contributors Thanks to everyone who tries to do the best for this game! Thanks to BIS for such a great platform . Thanks to BIS Community and BIS Community Forums .

Valken 622 Posted May 2, 2019 Hi George, I am a mission newbie. So do I just open an existing mission, and copy and paste all the contents from your Description.ext initServer.sqf initplayerlocal.sqf into the existing mission pbo files of the same name? Then add the anonomly scripts and sounds folder into the same directory as the above files like: Description.ext initServer.sqf initplayerlocal.sqf AL_swarmer folder AL_burper folder Sounds Or do I need to move all the files from AL_xxx folders into scripts? There is also an init.sqf so do I merge the custom code from initserver.sqf into init.sqf instead? Please advise. I want to edit an escape mission to test this. Thank you! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEORGE FLOROS GR 4207 Posted May 2, 2019 Hello there Valken ! -I don't remember if the sounds for the escape mission are defined in description.ext or in another .hpp file. -The swarmer script was not included in the list , because it's working differently from the other scripts. First , you need to download the Alias scripts that you want to use and add the folder like : AL_burpy in the mission folder. Then you need to add all the files from my example mission , or include them in the files that there are existing. Inside my files , there are also some comments , that you need to follow , in order to use or exclude the codes , for the Farty and the Flamer scripts. In your case you need to exclude these lines from the , description, initPlayerLocal and initServer. so in your case, you need only to add in the initServer : //________________ Main_init ________________ []execVM "GF_ALIAS_Anomaly_Spawner\Credits.sqf"; // Please keep the Credits or add them to your Diary []execVM "GF_ALIAS_Anomaly_Spawner\Main_init.sqf"; and add the certain ( or all ) the CfgSounds , from the description. If you don't make it to work , i'm here to check this as well. I'll be waiting for your news ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valken 622 Posted May 2, 2019 Hi GF, I tried your original mission in Stratis, SP and it works. But I copy all the scripts to an MP Tanoa mission folder, it would hang at loading. I tried to load it in SP and it loads into the Tanoa map, but no anomalies show up on the map. So is it because the mission.sqm needs to add the anomalies and the set it to MP? Can it be set to randomize the anomalies zone, between x - y distance, except for water, then set to spawn when any active player or AI, but not ambient animals comes within A or B to the zone to save on performance? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is tested and working in SP/MP and Dedicated. Might be that you are doing something wrong ? For the performane , alias scripts will work when a player is close the anomaly, so don't worry about this. The anomalies spawn position will be on a random ground position. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aussie battler 94 Posted May 3, 2019 I totally agree with you George, the scripts dont effect server performance. It all starts spawning in & moving when players get close to the mission. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrStregatto 31 Posted May 28, 2019 Hi I'm sorry to bring up this topic, but even following the instructions, I can't spawn or see sfx from most the anomalies. And the flamer and strigoi aren't showing up. I dunno why NVM. I figured out that I'm stoopid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maff 250 Posted August 15, 2019 2 hours ago, WarhammerZeus said: it crashes each time for me and im not sure why i get this error HERE. The +GF_ALIAS_Anomaly_spawner_Script.Stratis mission linked in the first post appears to be missing the AL_farty folder and the description.ext can't copy something that isn't there. If you know what you are doing, a temporary workaround might be to download AL_farty from here. Or, wait on a response from @GEORGE FLOROS GR. // +GF_ALIAS_Anomaly_spawner_Script.Stratis description.ext // Ln 88: #include "AL_farty\equipment_prot_toxic.hpp" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you very much @Maff ! Everything is actually there ready to work , so if you don't want something in all that , you can just exclude ( delete or comment the lines ) description.ext //________________ RscTitles ________________ class RscTitles { //________________ Farty ________________ #include "AL_farty\equipment_prot_toxic.hpp" }; initServer.sqf //________________ Flamer ________________ #include "AL_flamer\functions_flame.hpp" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted October 17, 2019 I have encountered a problem. I tried with my own test mission and copied/pasted all the files needed and I changed the description of some files to merge them. I also downloaded FARTY DEMO from Armaholic and placed mod's files inside my folder with no success. There's a problem no matter the file that is said to be missing, is actually there. It sais: Include file C:\Users\PC\Documents\Arma 3\missions\+GF_ALIAS_Anomaly_Spawner_Script.Stratis\AL_farty\equipment_prot_toxic.hpp not found. Why is this so? The same problem appears even with the original test mission. I have placed there AL_farty and the other files needed, but unfortunately it didn't work for me. My problem is exactly the same as this of @WarhammerZeus... What could be the solution? 🙂 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
black_hawk_mw2_87 74 Posted October 18, 2019 (edited) After a lot of attempts I made it work! 🙂 I even used 200 anomalies instead of 20! I have placed all the AL... folders and sounds in the main folder and also merged all other files. But I still have some errors on the screen. You can see them here: https://easyupload.io/n9dz4a and here: https://easyupload.io/82nykl What can be wrong? And by the way, is there a way to hide all the notification markers showing where the scripts have spawned in order to make the mission even harder and more realistic? Thank you in advance! 🙂 Edited: The problem can be somewhere in the file: Main_init.sqf with "waitUntil" - expected to be true or false...

Sorry for making you waiting , but i was away ! #How is it going?! I just show the photos with the errors and it seems to be a problem inside the script of ALIAS , but so else here is the file ready loaded with all the ALIAS scripts included , from my original test mission that i have in my files , in order for you to check it , because i haven't got that much of spare time to test this further. You can just exclude the foders with the scripts that you don't want. I'll be waiting for your news ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
