Twiznak 57 Posted January 14, 2020 Hello! I have made a mission with an Area of Operation "AOmarker_0" that spawns in a random location and re-spawns in a random location after it has been captured by players. My SNAFU is that the AO re-spawns over and over again (Spawning All units every time) because I am deleting the marker and spawning another marker with that same name. I have hit the limits of my current scripting knowledge and understanding so I don't know how to refresh the marker with EOS with each respawn. My approach is probably ALL WRONG, as usual, so I will take all advice, help and guidance I get. My Approach and test mission: I placed a trigger to spawn the AO Activation condition = Any player present on Activation = nul = execVM "Random.sqf"; Random.sqf Spoiler _pos = [AO_1, AO_2, AO_3] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _marker_0= createMarker ["AOmarker_0",[0,0,0]]; _marker_0 setMarkerShape "ELLIPSE"; _marker_0 setMarkerSize [5, 5]; "AOmarker_0" setMarkerPos _pos; 0 = [ [_marker_0], ["HGunits_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"HGsize_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"HGprob_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue], ["PGunits_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"PGsize_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"PGprob_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue], ["APCunits_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"APCsize_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"APCprob_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue], ["Tankunits_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"Tankprob_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue], ["SWunits_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,"SWprob_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue], ["ACHunits_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,0,"ACHprob_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue], ["Opforfaction_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,0,"ZoneAct_1" call BIS_fnc_getParamValue,EAST,FALSE] ] remoteExec ["EOS_Spawn",2,false]; AO_1-3 are the possible locations for the AO to spawn/Re-spawn. I placed a repeatable trigger to delete the marker and call the script again. trigger variable name GRN_1 activation condition = (getMarkerColor "AOmarker_0" == "ColorGreen"); on Activation = deleteMarker "AOmarker_0"; nul = execVM "RandomAO.sqf"; and that works! but not the way I want it to. How and What do I need to change in my approach to achieve my goal? I have tried mucking about with the relevant EOS files. eos_core.sqf Spoiler if (!isServer) exitWith {}; private ["_newpos","_cargoType","_vehType","_dGrp","_mkrAgl","_side","_bGroup","_civZone","_fGrp","_fSize","_fGrps","_eGrp","_eGrps","_dGrps","_aMin","_aSize","_aGrps","_aGrp","_bMin","_units","_bSize","_bGrps","_bGrp","_trig","_cache","_grp","_crew","_vehicle","_actCond","_mAN","_mAH","_distance","_mA","_settings","_cGrp","_cSize","_cGrps","_taken","_clear_1","_clear_2","_clear_3","_enemyFaction","_faction","_n","_eosAct","_eosActivated","_debug","_mkr","_mPos","_mkrX","_mkrY"];

Twiznak 57 Posted January 14, 2020 7 years ago, in the EOS thread, Bangabob suggested a solution to this problem: Quote So you want AI to spawn even after you have cleared the marker. Yes thats possible Find this code //If OPFOR are dead then if (triggeractivated _r) then And try changing it too //If OPFOR are dead then if (triggeractivated _r) then { deleteVehicle _r;deleteVehicle _t;deleteVehicle _d; null = [_mkrname,_hvyai,_vehai,_detcdst,_dyai] execvm "occupationtile.sqf"; I updated his solution for the current version of EOS. I added three lines of code to EOS_Core.sqf @ line 285 sleep 2; deletevehicle _clear_1;deletevehicle _clear_3;deletevehicle _taken; deleteVehicle _eosActivated; null = [_mkr,[_aGrps,_aSize],[_bGrps,_bSize],[_cGrps,_cSize],[_dGrps,_eGrps,_fGrps,_fSize],_settings,true] execVM "eos\core\eos_core.sqf"; And boom, it works.
