    When its water you need to use this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/setPosASLW

     

    so maybe (getPosASLW [(position vehicle && vehicle2) select 0, (position vehicle && vehicle2) select 1, -3];

    Try this 

    
(getPosASLW vehicle1) select 2 < -2 && (getPosASLW vehicle2) select 2 < -2

    This is assuming your boats are named vehicle1 and vehicle2.

    Thanks. I'll give these a try.

    there is entire GameMode called SpookWarCom we play. There is a huge pack of additional offline files, scripts, addons, game sheets, intel reports, reference sheets, rule packets, etc. that go with all these that are not released to the public.

    Yeah.  So. Ah. When. Ah. Is. This.  Ah. Coming. Out. Ah. ?  Lol.

     

    Sounds like a bunch of fun!!

     

    I'll have to try your spawers out.  Glad to see they're being supported still.

    I used your init line.

     

    This is the error from rpt.  Not sure what else to post here. Unless it doesn't see buildings for the tanoa map.

    Has anyone tried using DCO AI mods and turned off the AI difficulty?  If so, how'd it turn out.

    Not yet

    Is this a possibility in the future?  Would elevate this mod to a higher standard.

    Hey, hopefully this is being managed by the creator still. Have an interesting bug to report. using dev 1.9

      

    
 6:22:11 SteamAPI initialization failed. Steam features won't be accessible!

};

    this server config is from FASTER UI. nothing I specifically input.  Any ideas as to why?

    @strider42 I also noticed something curious:
    seats that are capable of "Fire From Vehicle" always get occupied by units from the "_crewPool". This means that the Qilin, the Prowler, and the offroad pickup will be almost entirely always filled with only said units.

    And as a result, those vehicles are effectively useless for use in the "_MotPool" category.

     

    I also have a few significant changes that I have done to portions of code, that I think it could be interesting for me to send you a PBO of the mission for you to unpack and check out.

    I'd like to think there are many players who would like a working version of this spawn script.

     

    May be you would consider posting a link for download?

     

    Some areas I had tried to improve were:

    1. add static weapons facing away from town in defensive position with sandbag walls as cover in 360

     

    2. Fix the reinforcement spawn so ground vehicles would get to the ao and not stuck on a rock.

     

    3. I was able to add a garrison script which allowed bots to spawn in buildings facing out the window and in kneeling positions.  Not my script.

     

    4. add enemy planes to patrol the ao.

     

    5. Add enemy boats patrolling water ways around / near ao.

     

    May be someone else would like to take these on.

    It's nice to read others opinions about ai mods.

     

    My next question is what combo are you using and why?

     

    I have been playing with lambs, tcl, cfbai and nr6. Thinking about adding the melee mod too.  Just making changes in the configurations.  Been interesting to watch. Another group by the name dragon company is doing this as well.  They are way more advanced than me. But good to see people wanting a better experience.

    Obviously this mod brings many players who want more realistic ai. And from what I've seen it definitely improves arma ai.

     

    My question is does lambs alone do it?

     

    If not what other ai mods do you include with lambs? What are your configuration settings?

     

    Does anyone adjust ai skill and aim separate? If so how?

     

    I see TCL, asr, cf Bai, vcom...

     

    Surely, there has to be some combinations that satisfy most, right?

     

    Suggestions?
