Aurora152 4 Posted February 25, 2021 Hello All, I have a mission where I need a constant flow of civilians coming through an alleyway. They spawn at 2 spawn locations, follow 2 waypoints then go to a waypoint to be deleted. However, the rate at which the civilians are spawning is faster than they are being deleted causing low FPS. I need to set a limit to the amount of units in the group. So far I have this: _civ = _civgroup createUnit [_x, getMarkerPos [selectRandom ["civspawn1", "civspawn2"]], [], 0, "NONE"]; AUR_spawn = [] spawn { AUR_civ_array = [ "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_01", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_02", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_03", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_04", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_05", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_06", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_07", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_08", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_09", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_10", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_11", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_12", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_13", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_14", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_15", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_16" ]; while {(count units group _civ) < 25} do { { _civgroup = createGroup [civilian, true]; _civ = _civgroup createUnit [_x, getMarkerPos [selectRandom ["civspawn1", "civspawn2"]], [], 0, "NONE"]; _wp1 = _group addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "civwypt1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp2 = _civgroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "civwypt2", 0]; _wp2 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp2 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp2 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp3 = _civgroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "civwypt3", 0]; _wp3 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp3 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp3 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp4 = _civgroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos [selectRandom ["civend1", "civend2", "civend3"]], 0]; _wp4 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp4 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp4 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp4 setWaypointStatements ["true", "{deleteVehicle _x} forEach units this"]; sleep 0.5; } forEach AUR_civ_array; sleep 1; }; }; However, I am getting an undefined variable error from the _civ in while {(count units group _civ) <25} I thought that it may be because the unit hadn't actually been spawned yet, so I put the top line in but still got the same thing. Any suggestions? TIA, Aurora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurora152 4 Posted February 25, 2021 Managed to get rid of the undefined variable error however, now the units don't seem to be adhering to their waypoints and I don't think the loop restarts when a unit is deleted. I have this at the moment: civgroup = createGroup [civilian, true]; civ = civgroup createUnit ["LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_01", getMarkerPos "civspawn1", [], 0, "NONE"]; AUR_spawn = [] spawn { AUR_civ_array = [ "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_01", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_02", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_03", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_04", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_05", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_06", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_07", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_08", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_09", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_10", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_11", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_12", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_13", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_14", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_15", "LOP_Tak_Civ_Man_16" ]; while {(count units group civ) < 25} do { { civ = civgroup createUnit [_x, getMarkerPos [selectRandom ["civspawn1", "civspawn2"]], [], 0, "NONE"]; _wp1 = civgroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "civwypt1", 0]; _wp1 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp2 = civgroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "civwypt2", 0]; _wp2 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp2 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp2 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp3 = civgroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos "civwypt3", 0]; _wp3 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp3 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp3 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp4 = civgroup addWaypoint [getmarkerpos [selectRandom ["civend1", "civend2", "civend3"]], 0]; _wp4 setWaypointType "MOVE"; _wp4 setWaypointSpeed "FULL"; _wp4 setWaypointBehaviour "CARELESS"; _wp4 setWaypointStatements ["true", "{deleteVehicle _x} forEach units this"]; sleep 0.5; } forEach AUR_civ_array; sleep 1; }; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aurora152 4 Posted February 25, 2021 @Rimsiakas Unfortunately, that hasn't worked. It does seem like respects the limit and it doesn't restart the loop once one unit has been deleted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rimsiakas 37 Posted February 25, 2021 Hm, I'll take a closer look at it a bit later 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
