@Avbird - each cycle - random patrol waypoints are created around the start position with a variable waypoint interleave distance and direction
Avibird 4 May @ 4:57am 
Hey quick question for you. Do the waypoints get randomly generated each time the group respawns or is it the same waypoints with each spawn. Are the waypoints randomly generated based on the marker position or are they edited place waypoints?

@Avibird - I've updated the ROS AI Respawn script and added some important new features - including the ability to specify a trigger to terminate further respawns - and a built in viewdistance and caching system which improves FPS (optional) - plus a number of other improvements - like vehicles automagically use roads when no near enemy around etc.

@panzershrekt sure thing. Just send me friend request and pm me and I'll do a screen share and we can set up triggers etc in your mission.

@Rickoshay
Thank you so much for your reply Rick!

Just wondering, are there any wiki pages or guides online on how to set up these triggers to toggle vis and sim? I tried searching around but unfortunately can't seem to find it, since I'm still relatively new in arma modding.

Would sincerely appreciate your help with this!

Hey I know you can set the amount of spawns but is there a way to set a trigger to end spawns like if a unit is killed or an object is destroyed or a location is reached. I prefer to play with systems that have a way to stop respawns of groups rather than a set number of spawns in the mission.
RickOShay  [author] 12 Jul, 2024 @ 2:58pm 
@panzershrekt - the script will work with most caching systems. It's best to use numerous small groups to respawn x times (rather than have larger groups spawn fewer times. Another method is to use show and hide modules called via triggers to toggle vis and sim in an area.

Hi Rick just wondering, is there a Cache system for spawn similar to JEBUS? Where Group will cache until players are within "CACHE=" metres

This will help significantly with performance, temporarily disabling AI units if they are a certain distance away. And spawn them when players move within a certain distance of the marker (say 300m)

Does this mod currently have something like this?

Hey two quick questions. Does custom face models and voices carry over with the respawns.
I know you said you can set the limit number of respawns but is there a way to stop the respawns while in a game with a trigger either destroying something killing someone or get into a location. The systems I use allow for indefinite spawning until one of the three objectives are completed.

@sk4yes the newly spawned unit will need the EH added to it. Pm me and I can help you resolve.
