Varhastra 2 Posted November 23, 2020 Hey, so can SpawnAI modules be activated and deactivated depending on whether a trigger is active or not? If so what would the script for such a function look like? Would "triggerActivated trg1" work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spawn AI Modules/Points are already configured to be able to turn them on/off by syncing a trigger to them in the editor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razzored 37 Posted November 24, 2020 Hello! Do note, that when using spawnAI modules, you are either limited to vanilla units or you have to define mod groups in your description.EXT In my post history, you will find lots related to CFGclasses and AI module.. Here's an example. Credit to Larrow. Spoiler class CfgGroups { class west { class myCustomWestFaction { //Name for your custom faction class Infantry { //SpawnAI module looks for this class class myCustomWestInfGroup_1units { //Can be called anything, name used for blacklisting class unit0 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "SERGANT"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { 0, 0, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; }; class myCustomWestInfGroup_3units { //Can be called anything, name used for blacklisting class unit0 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "SERGANT"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { 0, 0, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; class unit1 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "PRIVATE"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { 5, -5, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; class unit2 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "PRIVATE"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { -5, -5, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; }; class myCustomWestInfGroup_6units { //Can be called anything, name used for blacklisting class unit0 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "SERGANT"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { 0, 0, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; class unit1 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "PRIVATE"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { 5, -5, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; class unit2 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "PRIVATE"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { -5, -5, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; class unit3 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "PRIVATE"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { 10, -10, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; class unit4 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "PRIVATE"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { -10, -10, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; class unit5 { vehicle = "B_Soldier_F"; //Class name of unit/vehicle side = 1; //index of unit side being [ east, west, independent, civilian ] rank = "PRIVATE"; //rank name from CfgRanks position[] = { 15, -15, 0 }; //offset position unit spawns from spawn point }; }; }; class Motorized {}; //SpawnAI module looks for this class for class Mechanized {}; //SpawnAI module looks for this class class Armored {}; //SpawnAI module looks for this class }; }; Alternatively, you can also. Setup trigger with whatever conditions and activation. Set to "server only". Put this in OnAct: _grp1 = [getMarkerPos "spawn1", east, ["O_Soldier_SL_F", "O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_AR_F"],0] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; _wpt1 = _grp1 addWaypoint [getMarkerPos "move1",5]; _wpt1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; Place those invisible pink markers (forgot their names) and name it example; spawn1. //EDIT - They are called "system" markers. You can also remove the 2 bottom lines if you don't want them to have waypoints or add more. Cheers. PS. I also have a script that once trigger activated, spawns "random sized groups" from within a predefined array, around the players that will instantly start hunting players down. If that is more your alley. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was keeping it simple since he made a simple question: On 11/23/2020 at 4:56 AM, Varhastra said: can SpawnAI modules be activated and deactivated depending on whether a trigger is active or not? @VarhastraLOL...indeed it is possible; Efficient? not so much......see @razzored post.
