Random Spawn

[Sabre=TE= 10]

I'm making a mission where I wish to create a wrecked helicopter at one of five random locations. I've achieved this successfully with the following code in the init.sqf. and the use of game logics

call compile format ["heli setPos [(getPos pos%1 select 0),(getPos pos%1 select 1),0]",ceil(random 5)];

However I would like to place two dead pilots at the random location of the helicopter wreck and I also want to create a trigger at the same location.

Is this possible?

you could just use man1 setpos getpos heli;man2 setpos getpos heli; trigname attachto [heli,[0,0,0]]; after the call compile.

not pretty but it would work

Could have just placed markers and group them to the heli. Anyway...

I'd do it with these two small functions:

SHK_pos.sqf

SHK_createTrigger.sqf

SHK_createTrigger = compile preprocessfile "SHK_createTrigger.sqf";
SHK_pos = compile preprocessfile "SHK_pos.sqf";

[getpos heli,[100,100,0,true],["WEST","PRESENT",true],["this","",""],"NONE"] call SHK_createTrigger;

man1 setpos ([getpos heli,random 360,[5,20]] call SHK_pos);
man2 setpos ([getpos heli,random 360,[5,20]] call SHK_pos);

Trigger function takes the usual trigger settings (position,size,activation and condition/onact]).

Man positions are picked between 5 and 20 meters from the heli, at random direction from it.

Thanks for your help with this I appreciate it. :)

I'm new to creating triggers with code (sorry), how would it be written to have the trigger actiavte when blufor are within 20 metres of the heli?

[shuko 45]

[getpos heli,[10,10,0,false],["WEST","PRESENT",true],["this","Here is the onAct field",""],"NONE"] call SHK_createTrigger;

Replace the red text with whatever the trigger is supposed to do. It's exactly same as the onAct field in a trigger in editor.

[Sabre=TE= 10]

SHK_createTrigger = compile preprocessfile "SHK_createTrigger.sqf";
SHK_pos = compile preprocessfile "SHK_pos.sqf";

[getpos heli,[100,100,0,true],["WEST","PRESENT",true],["this","",""],"NONE"] call SHK_createTrigger;

man1 setpos ([getpos heli,random 360,[5,20]] call SHK_pos);
man2 setpos ([getpos heli,random 360,[5,20]] call SHK_pos);

I can't get this to work, I get the heli but not the pilots or trigger. Where does the above code go?
