Trying to figure out a way to make this more dynamic and add cqb functionality.  Thanks to RCA, Davidoss, MGI, Larrow for helping put this together and for helping me understand some scripting commands better

What do you want to make more dynamic?

[jakkob4682 23]

Trying to figure out the math for creating sectors or districts in towns without having to place a marker or trigger in the editor so you get roving patrols that move from sector to sector that garrison for a random period of time.

[jakkob4682 23]

I think I'm going to have restructure and rewrite a good chunk of this to get a decent structure that I want.

[RCA3 581]

Yup, me < maths.

Can't help you there.

Only thing that comes to mind is BIS_fnc_getArea to give you the size of each location, but FYI location's areas are not very accurate.

That's pretty common 😄.

[jakkob4682 23]

This is kind of the base of the framework I'm trying to establish.

 

Parse all towns and strategic areas on the map(including mountain peaks)>>parse each towns building density/count>>parse the amount of roads in each location>>divide each town into quadrants.  Using the returned values from those functions create dynamic patrols that move from section to section randomly garrisoning a random number of buildings before moving to the next quadrant rinse and repeat.

 

I have LAMBS but haven't really dug into the function library.

[RCA3 581]

Seems cool and LAMBS does have something apparently useful:

taskCQB

Close Combat Module lets AI Group identifies buildings, Clears them methodically, marks building safe, moves to next building and, repeat until no buildings left

[jakkob4682 23]

Yeah just at a glance that's going to add a lot of depth to what I'm working on.
