call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;

[akm74 1]

Hello Xeno

Is there a way to modify your script ... I want to call most of the parameters from execVM. Such as random number, position of spawn/marker Name, distance to waypoints ... Except vehicle_types of course.

For example ["numberOfVehicle", "positionToSpawn", "distanceToWayponts", "blaBla"] execVM "patrol_ru.sqs"

Is it passable to spread spawn position a little (with X Y random range maybe?). Because now all vehicles spawn one on other. Some of them get damaged.

Thanks in advance.

hi

just cant get anything to spawn still

here's what ive placed in the editor

player usmc

functions module

1 RU soldier noplayable /probabillty of presence =0

trigger

radius 300x300

activation west,present

tiggers on act has the following

call {
_vehicle_types = ["BMP3","BTR90","T72_RU","T90","GAZ_Vodnik","GAZ_Vodnik_HMG"];
_max_dist_between_waypoints = 1000;

_dgrp = createGroup east;
_vec_type = floor (random count _vehicle_types);

for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {
   [(getpos troops1_1_7), random 360, _vehicle_types select _vec_type, _dgrp] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
};

[_dgrp, (getpos troops1_1_7), _max_dist_between_waypoints] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol;
}

tried it with trigger activation set to west/civ/anybody/none and all with present and not present

so anyidea what im missing please!

You must place a game logic or something with the name "troops1_1_7"

[biggibs 0]

thanks for the help

Although that didn't work

added a gamelogic named troops1_1_7

tried both types of game logic

class=location

class=game logic

neither made any diffrence still nothing spawning...sigh!

FIXED:

just needed to reset the triggers type back to 'none'

i had changed that trying to get this script to work

as amk74 says shame the vehicles seem to spawn 30ft in the air and either land upside down or fly off 100's ft into the air

even though everything is placed in a flat open field

not like there are trees or rocks ect that might cause that!...hmm

random doesn't seem to be very 'how should i put this 'random' unless i've mis read what xeno said

always spawns 5 of the same vehicles...5 x btr90's , 5 x vodniks ,5 x t90's ect

Why can't I get a trigger to allow me to use this in the OnAct line:

call {
_vehicle_types = ["BMP3","BTR90","T72_RU","T90","GAZ_Vodnik","GAZ_Vodnik_HMG"];
_max_dist_between_waypoints = 1000;

_dgrp = createGroup east;
_vec_type = floor (random count _vehicle_types);

for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {
   [(getpos troops1_1_7), random 360, _vehicle_types select _vec_type, _dgrp] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
};

[_dgrp, (getpos troops1_1_7), _max_dist_between_waypoints] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol;
}

It says I'm missing a ";". All I did was copy n' paste this from the post above.

HI all

The below works well and I have used it a lot.

if(!isServer) exitWith{};

waitUntil {!isNil "bis_fnc_init"};

_pos = _this select 0;

_x = _this select 1;

for "_i" from 1 to _x do {

_units = 2 + Random 10;

sleep 5;

_grp = [(getMarkerpos _pos),east,_units] call bis_fnc_spawngroup;

[_grp, ( getMarkerpos _pos), 250] call BIS_fnc_taskPatrol;

};

[Bunny75 10]

What is wrong with this:

_group_types = ["RU_InfSquad", "RU_InfSection", "RU_InfSection_AT", "RU_InfSection_MG", "RUS_ReconTeam", "RU_MotInfSquad", "RU_MotInfSection_Recon", "RU_MotInfSection_Patrol", "RU_MechInfSquad_1", "RU_MechInfSquad_2", "RU_TankPlatoon"];


_group_type = floor (random count _group_types);

_grp_pos = getPos _trigger;


_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, _group_types select _group_type] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

It doesn't create any squads? Is there something wrong with that array?

Meh, I did it the hard way:

_patrol_type = floor (random 12);

switch (_patrol_type) do  
{
case 0: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Infantry" >> "RU_InfSquad")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 1: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Infantry" >> "RU_InfSection")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 2: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Infantry" >> "RU_InfSection_AT")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 3: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Infantry" >> "RU_InfSection_AA")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 4: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Infantry" >> "RU_InfSection_MG")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 5: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Infantry" >> "RU_SniperTeam")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 6: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Infantry" >> "RUS_ReconTeam")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 7: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Motorized" >> "RU_MotInfSquad")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 8: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Motorized" >> "RU_MotInfSection_Recon")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 9: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Motorized" >> "RU_MotInfSection_Patrol")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 10: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Mechanized" >> "RU_MechInfSquad_1")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
case 11: {_patrol_grp = [_grp_pos, EAST, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "East" >> "RU" >> "Mechanized" >> "RU_MechInfSquad_2")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup};
};

But Somehow _patrol_grp doesn't notice the waypoints I added to them???:

_pgwp1 = _patrol_grp addWaypoint [getPos _trigger, 100];
_pgwp1 setWaypointType "SAD"; 
_pgwp1 setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
_pgwp1 setWaypointBehaviour "AWARE";
_pgwp1 setWaypointCombatMode "RED";

So it's not referring to "_patrol_grp" anymore. Anyone know why?

Is it possible to spawn a unit with a init line that execute when the unit spawn?

I would like to spawn a unit that should patrol a marker area using the UPS script.

You can always do this after creation:

unit setVehicleInit "whateveryouwantodoasinit"; processInitCommands;

[muttly 10]

Instead starting new thread ill just ask this here sorry iam playing about with the editer and ive placed radar named it rad1 and then placed 3 tunguskas

soon as ive blown up the radar i want the tunguskas to be disabled dont matter if blows them up.

I placed a trigger and put !alive rad1 in the condition and then in the on act i put !alive tung1 && !alive tung2 && !alive tung3 but its not havin it help please ta

edit: nvm figured it out with set damage command

Cool thanks :cool:

[tobmic 10]

what have i done wrong with this one ?

In a trigger from editor i put this in the activation:

if (isServer) then

{grp1 = [

getmarkerPos "spawn_1", 180, "BMP3", EAST] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle;

null=[grp10,(getMarkerPos "wp_1"),750] execVM "scripts\BIN_taskPatrol.sqf"};

The BMP spawns when the trigger gets activated but it wont use Patrol script.

Also how can i add something to the init of the BMP3 ?

[{Op4}Bsilenced 10]

{grp10 = [

getmarkerPos "spawn_1", 180, "BMP3", EAST] call bis_fnc_spawnvehicle;

If you absolutely need to spawn from a trigger:

if (isServer) then

{

grp1 = createGroup east;

[(getmarkerpos "spawn_1"), 180, "BMP3", grp1] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;

null=[grp1,(getMarkerPos "wp_1"),750] execVM "scripts\BIN_taskPatrol.sqf";

};

Is it possible to use BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle to spawn vehicles from communtiy addons?

Edited May 31, 2011 by sixpack
fixed typo

[riouken 15]

Is it possible to use BIS_fbc_spawnVehicle to spawn vehicles from communtiy addons?

I have used BIS_fbc_spawnGroup to spawn Addon vehicles manned so I would venture to say yes you can use BIS_fbc_spawnVehicle to do that as well. I have just not tested it.
