mankar-camoran 0 Posted October 1, 2020 Hi, I was directed here from r/arma. Variations of this question have been asked all over the place but with pretty inconsistent answers. I am a newbie mission maker and I'm pretty much at my wit's end with my current situation. I am looking to create a sector capture scenario, where BLUFOR (players + AI) and OPFOR (AI) vie for control of several sectors. I want to have OPFOR and BLUFOR AI automatically move from their FOB to capture sectors. Whenever AI are killed, I wanted them to respawn at FOB then resume their attack on the sectors. For this purpose, I originally wanted to use the Spawn AI and Sector Tactics modules, however those seemed to be restricted to spawning vanilla factions, which I am not using (I am using factions from CFP.) Essentially, I want the players to just be boots on the ground in the middle of a large battle. I don't want the functionality of BLUFOR or OPFOR tied to any player. I tried syncing the Sector Tactic module straight up to AIs I added in through the editor, and it unsurprisingly threw an error. I then tried moving to MCC, but I'm struggling with poorly documented EDEN functionality. I do not want to use anything like Zeus or the MCC in-game console. I want to configure my mission through EDEN ahead of time - it works far better for our small group. I would sincerely appreciate any advice all of y'all can offer up, as it seems like a lot of this stuff is messily documented/logically circular/arcane magic, and my boys just want to square off with some Fedayeen in Iraq...

Soapbox0331 17 Posted October 2, 2020 Hello mankar, I use Jebus - Just Editor Based Unit Spawning by dreadpirate for most of my AI. You can use for OPFOR and BLUFOR. You have a lot of ways to set them up using editor placed units to respawn and continue the fight. For sector fights, I also use two triggers to create a victory condition, example below had BLUFOR taking 4 OPFOR sectors and holding them for 10 minutes to achieve mission success: Trigger1: Type: None Activation: None Check Repeatable Condition: [west] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector == 4 Timer Type: Countdown Timer values are 0 Trigger2: Type: End #1 Activation: None Checked Repeatable Condition: [west] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector == 4 Timer Type: Timeout Timer values are 600 Hope this helps.
