Spawn Group Script By Jman

Filename: fnc_spawnProfileGroup.sqf

Locality: Runs on server

Description: Spawns a group faction and sends them to a waypoint.

Params:

  • _spawnPosition -> Array. Position to spawn group
  • _spawnExactLocation -> Boolean. Set to false if you want to spawn it in an exact position.
  • _destinationPosition -> Array. Position of waypoint destination.
  • _group -> String. CfgGroups name
  • _faction -> String. CfgGroups faction

Optional Params:

Usage:

init.sqf:

  • ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup = compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "fnc_spawnProfileGroup.sqf");

Create a trigger or call in script:

Syntax: [array, boolean, array, string, string, boolean, scalar, string, string, scalar, array, string, string, string, string] call ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup;

Example(s):

  • [getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_spawn_pos", false, getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_dest_pos", "10_men_ME", "caf_ag_me"] call ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup;
  • [getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_spawn_pos", false, getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_dest_pos", "10_men_ME", "caf_ag_me", true, 0, "Move", "Full", 0, [0,0,0], "Delta", "Open Fire, Engage At Will", "Aware", ""] call ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup;

Detect Virtual Units (Profiles) in a Trigger Area

Will be true if there are virtualized AI groups of side EAST (string) within 50 mtrs of the triggers position EAST (string) <code>((count ([getposATL thisTrigger, 50, ["EAST","entity"]] call ALIVE_fnc_getNearProfiles)) > 0);

Will be true if there are virtualized vehicles of side EAST (string) within 500 mtrs of trigger position EAST (string) ((count ([getposATL thisTrigger, 500, ["EAST","vehicle"]] call ALIVE_fnc_getNearProfiles)) > 0);

Example: Place this line of code in the condition field of an end mission (f.e. lose) trigger, optionally with timeout. It will fire when there are virtualized groups in the selected area (for a certain amount of time). It doesnt matter if they are spawned or not.

Add a Custom OPCOM Objective

//will register a position as an objective to all OPCOMs in the current mission if (isServer) then { { [_x,"addObjective", [ str(time), //ID (string) getposATL thisTrigger, //position 100, //size "MIL" //type ] ] call ALiVE_fnc_OPCOM; } foreach OPCOM_INSTANCES; };</code>

Example: Place these lines of code (without the comments) in the on activation field of a "detected by..."-trigger (500mtrs radius). As the trigger fires your base will be registered to all OPCOMs, who will then send troops there (either to attack or defend). You can use these in combination with triggers and tasks. For example if you are detected by a trigger within a certain radius of your base, your base will be registered to OPCOM! OPCOMs will send their troops there and if you don't manage to defend your base the mission will fail.

Wait for Player Persistence to Initialise

//Will wait until the persistent data of a player has been loaded (place in init.sqf f.e.) waituntil {(player getvariable ["alive_sys_player_playerloaded",false])};

Example: Use this in init.sqf if you have a player-depended scripts and use "player persistence";

Adding Custom Inits to Spawned Units

The following is one method for adding custom gear to every spawned unit or object of that class. This will work for units spawned with MP/MCP, the Profiles system and any other spawning method.

HEALTH WARNING: you will need to know the basics of scripting to setup the gear script so it only applies to AI (and not players) or specific factions. Place the following in description.ext and create my_code.sqf with whatever code you want to add to the spawned units.

class Extended_Init_EventHandlers { 

class Man {
 MyCode_init="_this call compile preprocessFileLineNumbers 'my_code_file.sqf'";
};

};
