;Spawn script by Linker Split
;USAGE:

;[markerstart,markerend,time,amount,totalunits] exec "spawn.sqs"
;START

_markerS = _this select 0
_markerE = _this select 1
_t = _this select 2
_number = _this select 3
_totalfinalunits = _this select 4

_posS = getMarkerPos _markerS
_posE = getMarkerPos _markerE

;BEGIN
#START
_unit= createUnit ["SoldierWB", _posS [_this setCombatMode "RED";_this domove getMarkerPos _posE], 0, "NONE"]
_amount = _amount + 1
~_t

_amount = _totalfinalunits : exit
goto "START"

so.... how do i use it?

[Linker Split]

CODE

;USAGE:

;[markerstart,markerend,time,amount,totalunits] exec "spawn.sqs"
;START

Create a text file and call it init.sqs (keep the extension sqs, it's for ArmA scripts), then open it with a notepad, and write in here the various parameters as I told you in the USAGE part of the code below.

i know that..
but i mean..
when i've made the init.sqs file and done all that
how do i make it work ingame? do i need a trigger and a waypoint? or i think u know what i mean.
*** i'm kinda dumb sometimes ***

This is a working script, use this one istead of the one i provided you:

CODE

;Spawn script by Linker Split
;USAGE:

;[markerstart,markerend,time,totalunits] exec "spawn.sqs"
;START

_markerS = _this select 0
_markerE = _this select 1
_t = _this select 2
_totalfinalunits = _this select 3

_amount = 0;

_posS = getMarkerPos _markerS
_posE = getMarkerPos _markerE

;BEGIN
#START
_unit= createUnit ["SoldierWB", _posS [_this setCombatMode "RED";_this domove getMarkerPos _posE], 0, "NONE"]
_amount = _amount + 1
~_t

_amount = _totalfinalunits : exit
goto "START"

markerstart: you need to create this marker which indicates the position from where new enemies will be created
markerend: you need to create this marker which indicates the position where new enemies will go and attack after having been created
time: means the seconds after which a new enemy is created.
totalunits: this indicates the maximum number of enemies you want to create.

So, for example, cretae the two markers, name them: mark_start, and mark_end...
so the line you must write in the init.sqs should be:

CODE

["mark_start","mark_end",7,200] exec "spawn.sqs"

Another one that doesn't seem to work for me:

The error I get back is two fold:

The first one is gone too fast to read it, but it has something to do with
_unit= createunit |#| "soldierWB" _posS.... line
Says errormissing

The second one complains about:
_amount = _totalfinalunits : exit
error type number expected switch

Anyone?...

Hi Linker Split

I'm sorry, but..

About the "spawn.sqs" script?

We have an init.sqs that You provided Us..
I don't know where or what i should put in for that..

hmm.. me lost something?

Kind Regards,

Aloha!

Ciao Linker Split

Scusami, ma..
Riguardo al "spawn.sqs" file?
Abbiamo il file init.sqs che tu ci hai fornito..
Non so dove o cosa dovrei aggiungere per quello...

hmm.. Mi sono perso qualcosa?

Con Rispetto,

Aloha! (Paolo)

Aloha!: This is the English section, for English posts. And only English posts. While I recognise that both you and Linker are Italian speakers, if you want to speak in language other than English please use private messages or the appropriate language section.

hi Aloha!

First off, the file init.sqs goes in your mission folder.
Now, you have to create another script named "spawn.sqs" and put it into the mission directory too (as init.sqs)
Now follow the instructions I gave in the previous posts and that's all
