    Well, the newest version is bugged to hell (no offense Genesis). I did the whole mission with .84. I can give it a whirl with .90 and see how that turns out.

    EDIT:

    Instead I got this error: Picture\chn_undead\textures\undfont.paa not found

    The spawnmod that you got an error with still spawned as far as I could tell.

    I advise using the .84 version, it's more stable

    I can't imagine how much work was put into this! The time it took is a testament to the quality of this mod/campaign.

    Thank you sumrak for the hard work and dedication to this project. I am a huge fan of your map namalsk, and I can't wait to have full-scale war on it. :)

    Thanks again

    Very ugly coding. Don't do it.

    Proper way:

    _waves = ["wave1.sqf","wave2.sqf",..];
_wave = _waves select (round (random ((count _waves) - 1)));

[] execVM _wave;

    It works, but it spawns random waves, correct?

    I want it to exec a certain sqf depending on what wave the mission is on.

    ie: on wave one, spawn1.sqf is exec. On wave 2, spawn2.sqf is exec. I have a variable, wave, to tell what wave I am on.

    Just a guess as I cannot test at home at the moment, but if you want to press ahead with your current method, try this:

    call compile format ["execVM ""spawn%1.sqf""", wave];

    The first value in the format array must be a string. Use double-quotes around spawn%1.sqf to preserve its own quote marks.

    That works great! That solves it! Thank you

    1. How often do you play and for how long for?

    Play almost every day, most days not long, just enough for a mission tweak or 2. Weekends are a different story...

    2. What do you play most? Original, OA, BAF or PMC?

    Combined Ops and DLCs

    3. Are there any must have MODs for you?

    Always JSRS, also CBA and Lost key when mission editing.

    4. What utilities/hardware helps assist you?

    Notepad ++, squint editor, arma edit, dropbox, pandora (always need music), saitek x52, eliteness

    5. Do you play singleplayer or multiplayer the most?

    Singleplayer when I dont have much time, multiplayer on weekends

    6. If you play multiplayer, what server(s) do you play on? Clan, favourite or random?

    I host games sometimes, and othertimes I just join a random server.

    7. What's your favorite role and pet hate when playing multiplayer?

    Role: Anything offered. I have a love affair with the M249, but if a sniper is available I will take that.

    Hate: Don't really have one besides blatant idiocy...

    Anytime man!

    One little request:

    Could you take that Chinese gun out of your loot system? I don't think the PLA mod comes with ACE anymore, and the script error is kinda bugging me.

    But, if you want to keep it (which is perfectly understandable of course, not trying to be pushy :o) then keep it, don't worry about me, I should probably redownload it anyway...

    Have a good one!

    Got some news!

    I just played with 2 other guys for about 2 hours or so. 2 of us got to the north base and the third came after the nuke went off on the chopper. Zombies were out in full force. :) It topped at like 385 or so. After the nuke the spawning stopped. We got together to head to feruz abad. One guy hit massive lag so the zombie debug was pressed. They continued to spawn. By this time almost all towns were infected. We headed to feruz abad and attempted to destroy the mine. Which I think is supposed to stop spawning? We destroyed the generator and the building next to it, but they kept spawning. So then we got together and drove down to the southern airfield and got the mission from the officer. On the way then spawning stopped, but restarted on entering a town. But stopped again after leaving it. We then went to landay where we saved Derek. Then we called it a night because they stopped spawning.

    That's what happen, it was a blast.

    This was latest version of the mission with host version used by me, the host.

    Thanks

    Hey Antonoo, welcome!

    A simple way of doing that is having a trigger by the map so when the person is close to the map the trigger will fire and the task will be created.

    To create the task use this: OFPEC tutorial by Mikey

    It is fairly simple and straightforward (and how I learned how to use tasks). You don't have to create all your tasks in the briefing. I create them on the fly in most of my missions.
