BlackbirdSD 15 Posted November 22, 2020 If you made a base with lets say 5 buildings, how can you get that base to start the mission at random points all together as 1 "base" using random start position? Can multiple items be grouped together to create 1 object? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joe98 91 Posted November 23, 2020 Not that I know. Rather, place a building on the map. Name it building1 Set it so it will start at random places. There is a command (don't have my notes handy) whereby you place building2 on the map and the building always starts, (for example) 20 meters south east of building1 In this way you can arrange for your composition to start at random places.

BlackbirdSD 15 Posted November 24, 2020 I saw the composition but if I have lets say a building with a series of fences that wrap around the building, how can i make them all start in a random position? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make a composition with whatever you like and it will spawn at random...(I have it working with) [ [[Y,X,Z], [Y,X,Z], [Y,X,Z], [Y,X,Z], [Y,X,Z]] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom, random 360, weaponComposition ] call BIS_fnc_objectsMapper; Have fun! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is "weaponComposition" the name of your composition? How would you get this to start at my random start positions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes mate, first you have to make a composition; once you have saved it correctly (see COMPOSITION )it's gonna look something like this: Spoiler weaponComposition = [ ["Land_PaperBox_open_empty_F",[-0.245605,1.09424,2.57492e-005],0,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_i_Shed_Ind_F",[0.226074,2.8877,0],0,1,0,[],"weaponBox","",true,false], ["Land_Pallet_MilBoxes_F",[2.31689,1.16992,0.000113964],210.009,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_Pallet_MilBoxes_F",[-0.101563,3.0249,-0.000998974],209.999,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_closed_F",[-3.18018,0.591797,6.34193e-005],150.001,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_NATO_WpsLaunch_F",[-2.91016,2.32324,0],60.0008,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_WoodenBox_F",[4.05957,-0.135254,0.000208378],180,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_NATO_Ammo_F",[4.49609,1.00049,7.67708e-005],164.996,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_NATO_AmmoOrd_F",[-4.38428,1.44482,1.7643e-005],105.005,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_closed_F",[3.99951,3.15967,0.0215073],195,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_NATO_WpsLaunch_F",[-4.60547,2.57861,1.28746e-005],30.0012,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_East_WpsLaunch_F",[5.75488,0.130859,4.05312e-005],45.0088,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_East_WpsLaunch_F",[5.87549,0.922363,0.0183978],30.003,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_closed_F",[5.96289,2.89014,0.0215073],150,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_East_AmmoOrd_F",[5.12549,4.29736,0.0215073],279.427,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_T_East_Ammo_F",[7.03906,1.8042,-0.000133514],210.004,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_East_Ammo_F",[-4.99902,5.9502,0.00257635],70.0003,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_Sacks_heap_F",[-3.79492,7.31299,1.66893e-005],27.138,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_open_empty_F",[8.3335,1.18213,0],0,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_Pallet_MilBoxes_F",[0.633301,8.54297,0.000692368],210.001,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_WoodenBox_F",[-1.3877,8.42334,0.0350866],60.3116,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_WoodenBox_F",[-2.2583,8.36621,0.0345602],250.202,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_Pallet_MilBoxes_F",[2.70264,8.2251,-0.00219679],100.944,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_open_full_F",[8.44629,3.35986,0],105,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_Shovel_F",[-3.48535,8.38965,9.82285e-005],15.4403,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_CratesWooden_F",[-5.96777,7.14941,3.24249e-005],180,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_Pallet_MilBoxes_F",[4.80664,8.21191,0.00184631],210.007,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Box_East_AmmoOrd_F",[-3.3335,8.93115,1.23978e-005],144.999,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_CratesWooden_F",[-5.16113,8.58691,-1.90735e-005],0,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_CanisterFuel_F",[-4.76074,9.48486,-0.000102997],14.9574,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_closed_F",[-7.23779,8.83496,-0.0104828],2.88202,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["MetalBarrel_burning_F",[-11.9497,4.24219,0],0,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_open_full_F",[11.9795,8.59375,0],105,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["Land_PaperBox_open_full_F",[13.3784,6.3833,0.0103507],242.794,1,0,[],"","",true,false], ["I_G_Offroad_01_armed_F",[-15.3652,0.149414,0.0653605],180.796,1,0,[],"","",true,false] ]; then you collect all the position you want the composition to spawn on; for instance, Maine ended up looking like this: [ [[11362.9,14401.1,-0.0389652],[8327.75,14833.4,-0.0116882],[8479.59,12969.2,-0.625523],[4677.91,12731.8,0.065937],[3717.96,10416.1,0]] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom, random 360, weaponComposition ] call BIS_fnc_objectsMapper; I put everything in the init.sqf (but you could probably put it somewhere else, like a gamelogic, but I'm not sure). Once you start the mission, the game will choose a random position and spawn the composition. Not that difficult....just a word of advice: choose wisely the position for the spawn, especially for structures/houses and whatnot... Have fun mate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
