NeMeSiS 11 Posted June 18, 2006 when spawn is created the units will be placed in a formation style.. what if you want units to be placed in some determinated areas, floors etc.. use imagination.. Â that will not work properly. Possible, we still got buildingpos And just because YOU hate spawns doesnt mean that others need it to be changed, and hell, you will NEVER fill an island with 700+ units, and if you do, you wont ever play the mission because of low FPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CsonkaPityu 0 Posted June 18, 2006 I would rather not have the 650 units that i am not even in the near of take up my CPUs processing power. Anyways, i can't add that q to the faq as i have no clue about the answer. If anyone has stuff they think should be in there drop me a pm or something.

dm 9 Posted June 18, 2006 when spawn is created the units will be placed in a formation style.. what if you want units to be placed in some determinated areas, floors etc.. use imagination.. that will not work properly.Would be easyer if we place them by hand like we do in OFP normally. why this obcession with spawn? I hate spawn! Its not natural! you can pre-place script-spawned units you know. So when you go near a building, script spawn a squad and setpos them into the relevant locations. Why dont YOU use your imagination. Spawn scripts can be written so that they appear even more natural-looking than editor placed units. Sure the editor can place units within a random radius, but a good spawn script can place units in logical positions, with logical strengths (or illogical, if you're fighting a weaker force) and so on. The "obsession with spawn" is because it is FAR more powerful than editor placed units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Placebo 29 Posted June 19, 2006 I think the whole Spawn discussion is for another thread, this thread is strictly for which questions have answeres or can be answered and thus go into the FAQ. If the answer requires pages of discussion then the question is perhaps not ready for entry into the FAQ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the crew would really be a improvement in realism. It has been done by Homer in his M1A2, so i dont think it´s a big deal for BIS to do it even better, if not done allready. Also what i could read in an interview there was only old SABOT and HEAT in the E3 demo, will AI see any difference in using SABOT, HEAT and who knows AT-Missiles, or will it "like before" use 1,first SABOT, 2,second HEAT when sabot round are finnished, and if there is AT-missiles, engage Helis, Tanks on long distance then switsh to sabot, Lot of FUQ here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In a contradiction, in this video (in Czech), one of the Linda's programmers says that they plan to release it sometimes, but are not yet certain what the licensing policy will be.
