And if the above fails. then something like "murk´s"

// File: murk_spawn.sqf // Function: to allow for simple trigger based spawning using editor placed units and waypoints. // The script deletes all units when the mission start and the recreate them on command. // The script also captures mission, so it can be loaded with murk_spawn_loaded.sqf. // Parameters: // _this select 0: OBJECT - unit name (this) // _this select 1: STRING - trigger name // _this select 2: STRING - spawn type ("once","repeated","wave" and "reset") // _this select 3 (optional): NUMBER - spawn lives (the amount of time the unit respawns, or wave number) // _this select 4 (optional): NUMBER - spawn delay // _this select 5 (optional): STRING - init string called for the leader of the group // _this select 6 (optional): NUMBER- will start removal sequence of all dead group members after X seconds (default 120)

// === Usage: === // Example trigger: Anybody Once (or whatever you want), onActivation: catch_trigger = "triggername"; publicVariable "catch_trigger"; // Unit (leader of group): nul = [this,"triggername","SPAWNTYPE",LIVES,DELAY] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; //
// Example: nul = [this,"triggername","once"] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; ---- Will spawn the editor unit once based on the trigger // Example: nul = [this,"triggername","repeated",4,30] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; ---- Will spawn the editor unit based on the trigger, then respawn it 4 times with a 30 second delay upon death // Example: nul = [this,"triggername","wave",5,60] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; ---- Will spawn the editor unit once based on the trigger, then respawn the entire group (regardless of deaths) 5 times with 60 seconds between // Example: nul = [this,"triggername","reset",5] execVM "murk_spawn.sqf"; ---- Will spawn the editor unit once based on the trigger, then reset the trigger after a preset time (15 seconds default). The unit will be created when trigger is true again, maximum number of lives. // ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- // // V8 (ArmAIIholic) // - Waypoints are also remembered -- no dummy groups at all!!! // - You get the output on Clipboard you can paste and execute. Added loader for Clipboard missions. // V7 (ArmAIIholic) // - Added GameLogic center to reduce number of dummy groups at the beginning, and in modes repeated and reset // - Changed beginning scope to isServer, rather than using exitWith // - Shortened initializing trigger part in init.sqf // - Added original instructions and examples, adapted for v7 // - SQM is from v5 with some groups added // V6 - Dedicated to Xeno, for his advice // - Fix: Performance/effiency optimizations across the board // - Shortened parameters // - Improved group cleanup, units in groups are now always deleted so that the group can be deleted // - New type of unit cleanup, no longer spawns eventhandlers for each unit // - Better array usage, no more additions over multiple arrays // - Moved the internal turret crew function out // - Further attempt to make vehicle/infantry storage and recreation more similar in order to cut code // - Fix: Now supports mixed infantry and vehicle groups // V5 // - Change: Removed group and function scripts, everything done in a single file // - Change: Spawn trigger variable is now a setVariable of the trigger instead of a global variable // - Add: Option to enable removal of dead units, eventhandler attached to everyone spawning // - Fix: Should now work in multiplayer on a dedicated server (only tested on a local dedicated/join setup however) // - Fix: Performance issues with helos from V4 resolved // - Fix: Some minor bugs with the optional parameters // - Fix: Now properly support crews in turrets-on-turrets (had to bring in some BIS made functions) // V4 // - See older versions
