Before you spawn the group of enemies, mention the following _alpha creategroup west/east // (whatever side is the enemy) ////<<<< group spawn line here & mention _alpha as the group name ....... ...... ...... et1 doMove getPos _alpha; Try this. I am a noob myself but learning my way up :)

No man. I am still to try it. I just made the script up by combining these snippets through various forums. If you feel its ok R3vo i'll try it tonight :) EDIT: Ok so its not working. He spawns with the custom loadout, but he respawns with the defaultkit. Here is the new init: null = [this] execVM "loadout.sqf"; this addeventhandler ["Fired",{if (_this select 1=="Strela") then {_this select 0 addMagazine (_this select 5)}}]; nul = [this,["east","DEFEND"],0,"original",5] execVM "AIRS\addAIgroupToPool.sqf"; << respawn script this addeventhandler ["respawn","this execVM 'loadout.sqf'"];

Through a fantastic script called AI Respawn System a.k.a. AIRS... as I only play SP.Please suggest any better way to execute all these things together.. :)

I am a huge fan of this script and it works flawlessly. However, I do have a question. I want the recruit list to be inclusive of just 5-6 unique soldiers whom I gear up with virtual arsenal loadouts. Lets say I got 3 normal riflemen put down in the editor, I put 3 different virtual arsenal loadouts in their "init" respectively and I name them p1, p2, p3. How can I hide them from mission start and only make them recruitable "n" amount of times? Thank you.

Annoyed. Keeps showing a blak screen with a message that unit is unconscious press escape select other playable unit. Whats the deal?

ok this is not working: .. _convoy = [_vehicle2, _vehicle3]; { script_handler = [] spawn waitUntil {sleep 0.5; ((_mkrpos distance _x) < 70);} foreach _convoy; waitUntil {!alive _vehicle2 && !alive _vehicle3 || scriptDone script_handler}; if (!alive _vehicle2 && !alive _vehicle3) then { ["Task3", "FAILED", true] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; } else { ["Task3", "SUCCEEDED", true] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; }; }; I want that if the convoy reaches a distance less than 70 metres of _mkrpos, I fail the task., But I am able to take our veh 2 and veh 3, then I win. Will if statement be better for such multiple instances? I am getting errors now. Thank you.

Works great thank youuuu... I just had the replace the words "succeeded" with "failed" and vice versa.. Ok when the convoy moves and if I start shooting them, it will change its course. If I go to rearm from base in case I run out of ammo, will the convoy still try to find a way to the obj or totally let go of the objective and keep wandering around the map?

_convoy = [_vehicle2, _Vehicle3]; waitUntil {sleep 0.5; { _x distance _mkrpos < 70 } count _convoy >= {alive _x} count _convoy }; ["Task3", "FAILED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; waitUntil {sleep 3; !(canMove _vehicle2) && !(canMove _vehicle3)}; ["Task3", "Succeeded"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; The first waituntil fires corectly when convoy reaches within 70 mtrs. of objective. But the second waituntil has 2 issues: 1. It doesnt fire when both the vehicles cannot move but rather need to be exploded 2. Even if it does fire, it still fails the task. Maybe the alive check in the first waituntil is responsible?

and this is throwing the error that Type object expected bool: waitUntil {sleep 3; ((_vehicle2 && _vehicle3 distance _mkrpos) < 70);}; ["Task3", "FAILED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;

OK what changes are needed in this? waitUntil {sleep 3; (((_vehicle2 && _vehicle3) distance _mkrpos) < 70);}; ["Task3", "FAILED"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; waitUntil {sleep 3; (alive _vehicle2) && !(alive _vehicle3)}; ["Task3", "Succeeded"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; Right now i am getting the error that "Missing ; " after "...<70#).. As far as i know ";" isnt needed after the distance check.

Spawning other units as "Playable" and then clicking the key set for "team switch" from the controls maybe? That way they will remain AI until you or any other player unit gets control over 'em.

Ok. I will be waiting for Jezuro to help me here then :)

In a way it is but it is satisfying :D

... _convoy = [_vehicle1,_vehicle2,_vehicle3,_vehicle4]; { createVehicleCrew _x; _x setskill 0.7; _grp = group _x; _x = _grp addWaypoint [_mkrpos, 0]; _x setWaypointType "MOVE"; _x setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED"; _x setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE"; _x setWaypointFormation "COLUMN";//"STAG COLUMN" } foreach _convoy; sleep 1.5; _array = _convoy; { waituntil {sleep 0.5; ((_mkrpos distance _x) < 40);}; } foreach _array; hint "obj failed"; So _vehicle1 and _Vehicle 4 are assigned as guard units, and _Vehicle2 and _Vehicle3 are trucks which need to be protected. _Vehicle4 on the otherhand can be a heli or an MRAP as my array has both and put on selectrandom. I am able to spawn everyone and if they are all land vehicles they start moving as planed, i.e. in a column formation. But if _vehicle4 returns a heli, it makes its own wp to the destination and moves toward it as a single unit, away from the group. The land units obey me very well. So I want to make _vehicle1 as the leader of this group, and a way for the _vehicle2, _vehicle3, and _vehicle4 to follow the leader strictly in column formation. Thank you. :)

Ohhhhh yeahhh thanks... hate these small mistakes... :P

You mean, start a LAN game and then take it ahead? As the first post says you can solo with AI.

Yea i was thinking something like "dofollow". Thank you for the hint man. You are always with the right advice. I will get back with results. :)

Its a fiiiine mod. But I do see that while playing SP, my side mates teleport to the zone area but stay outside the actual base defences. 1-2 AIs do act as intruders to the core zone area and indulge in firefights, but rest stand outside as if this enablesimulation false. lol But a great mod none the less :D

Yeah man. I think I have found a work around. What I did was inside the waypoints config file, I saw the arrays in case 1 were very different from case 0, hence I copied all the case 1's entries for "heli". lol It doesnt throw any error now. But one in 10 times it does throw an error, but for armoured units. thats manageable and yes I use the 3.1b. :) Thank you anyway :)

Thanks :) Im sure this will help a lot of others.. :D

Thank you. I too adjusted its waypoint config and now it doesnt throw any errors except for armour units sometimes. But thats bearable. :) i can always restart the mission. Btw Savage, tell me about it plzzz: "You might be able to adjust this so they start flying with engines on via script and DAC_Config_Events."

*thumbs up*

By the way, R3vo that reveal enemy script you showed is finding wrong entities. And I am next to those spots but no enemies. Is it because the if (side _unit != playerSide) then ... searches for everything apart from playerside? Animals? Can I safely change this line to if (side _unit = WEST) then ... so that it only reveals units on west side? Thank you.
