Unable to generate civilians in init.sqf

[susachintha 10]

Hello all,

This is my first post for this forum and I'm a very beginer for mission editing and scripting, in trouble with creation of civilians.

I'm using VBS2 lite version. I use following line to do this, but error message comes as "bad vehicle type civilian". Please could anyone help me.

"Civilian" createUnit[position player, group player];

Thanks.

I'm not familiar with VBS2, but i'd say there is no object which classname is "Civilian" - Civilian classnames have to be different in VBS.

ALso, i'm not sure this is the right forum to get support for VBS.

Probably there is no unit with the class name of "Civilian".

Sadly there is no list of unit classnames so far, but you could place yourself a random civilian in the editor and add hint format ["%1", typeOf this] to see its classname.

here is a list of civilian classnames - or here.

Also, if there are no civilians already in the mission, then you need to create the civilian side first, using createCenter.

Thanks for the replies:) , First I loaded a civilian through mission editor and checked the mission.sqm file and name was "vbs2_af_civ_woman_1". So it works now by using the same name in init.sqf file.

quick question - For my VBS2 troubles, do i need to register and post problems in VBS2 forum then?
