JR Nova 24 Posted August 3, 2019 (edited) I'm trying to spawn AI units in groups that spawn more and more units each wave and the units start wearing more armor over time. I got the loadouts and spawns working properly but after about wave 5, units sometimes stop following their waypoints. I can hear them on the radio ordering guys to move but they just move into formation where they spawn then never move. Its very bad on vehicles, they have about a 50% chance of moving after they spawn. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? init.sqf Spoiler call compile preprocessfile "SHK_pos\shk_pos_init.sqf"; waitUntil {player == player && time > 1}; waveLvl=1; publicVariable "waveLvl"; playerNum = playersNumber west; publicVariable "playerNum"; incomingEnemy = false; null=[] execVM "Spawn.sqf"; spawn.sqf Spoiler //WAVES 1-2 - 1 group if ((waveLvl <= 2) && !incomingEnemy) then { private ["_pos", "_group", "_wp"]; incomingEnemy = true; hint format ["Enemies incoming.

wogz187 1085 Posted August 3, 2019 @JR Nova, Quote Not sure how to remove the emojis lol they are 8 ) without the space Put a "Code" in your "Spoiler". As for the way-points. The AI are probably doing whatever they're supposed to do based on their behavior mode, ect. They may need more specific directions. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR Nova 24 Posted August 5, 2019 Ah, thanks for the help! I finally got it working by running a code on the spawned groups that give them a doMove command to an invisible heli pad named "attackPos", waits a minute, then runs the stalker code. I renamed spawn.sqf from original post to waves.sqf init.sqf Spoiler call compile preprocessfile "SHK_pos\shk_pos_init.sqf"; waitUntil {player == player && time > 1}; waveLvl=1; publicVariable "waveLvl"; playerNum = playersNumber west; publicVariable "playerNum"; incomingEnemy = false; null=[] execVM "waves.sqf"; waves.sqf Spoiler //WAVES 1-2 - 1 group if ((waveLvl <= 2) && !incomingEnemy) then { private ["_pos", "_group", "_wp"]; incomingEnemy = true; hint format ["Enemies incoming.

engima 327 Posted August 6, 2019 I had a similar problem a while ago. I had it happen when I spawned vehicles out in the terrain, but it worked when spawning them on a road. My solution was to monitor their movement after spawn, and if they did not get moving in a minute I deleted their waypoint and created a new. That usually had them start moving. I’m not sure if I gave them different behavior for different waypoints, but I had some kind of randomizaton about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance you could share an example of your workaround? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
