Spawning Camp Script

[imutep 0]

Last days i spend a lot of time to spawn a russian camp with vehicles, camp guards, patrols .... But without Fort_RazorWires. With 2 example missions i hope this helps beginners to learn spawning objects and units with [X Y] coordinates an (or) with markers as positions. I don't know if this is the best script-way, but it works. :rolleyes:

* Helipad

* KA-52

* BTR-90

* UAZ

* Vodnik

* Vodnik_mediEvac

* Kamo Truck

* Kamo Reammo Truck

* Field hospital

* MG position

* Camo net

* Mapboard

* Ammo boxes

* camp fire

* Paletas

* Antenna

* Guards

* Wood patrol

* Camp guards

One thing is, that the spawned soldiers all look to the north. I set any azimuts (setDir positions), but they always look gen north. I don't know why. Any ideas to fix this would be nice.

Enjoy!

Try setVectorDir.

Thx Big Dawg KS, but it doesn't work. I think the VectorDir command is only for objects. I tryed the lookAt command now. Strange, that setDir doesn't work.

[Big Dawg KS 6]

SetVectorDir should work on men. Perhaps try setVectorDirAndUp. Also make sure your vector is correct.

[Tajin 348]

I would try delaying the "setDir" command.

Both setDir and the setVector commands work on soldiers, that much is certain so the problem will be somewhere else.

Oh and I would use the "_this" variable only for parameters passed to the script, nothing else. Not sure if it can cause problems, I just wouldn't do it.

[imutep 0]

Ok, i changed the "_this" variable to another one. But its the same. They look to the north. I give up.....till tomorrow. Thx for the tips!
