How to setup a custom patrol for SARGE AI or DZAI ?

[asremix]

I would like to setup soldier patrols to protect bases.

Answer for DZAI :

 

I'm not sure if you can set up patrols for DZAI, but you can give them  specific locations in an area, and they may patrol inside the radius that you specify. This is the way I do it:

 

server\DZAI\init\world_map_configs\custom_spawns\cust_spawns_chernarus.sqf

 

I put a marker here, this is the location where you will let the AI spawn.

_this = createMarker ["HanEnt1", [6475.04, 14087.7, 0]];
_this setMarkerType "Empty";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_marker_120 = _this;

 

You have to make sure marker_120 is unique and you have to change "HanEnt1" to your spawnname and edit the coordinates.

 

server\DZAI\init\world_map_configs\custom_markers\cust_markers_chernarus.sqf

 

Then I call upon it, and put a trigger for when the AI has to spawn.

    _this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [6475.04, 14087.7, 0]];
    _this setTriggerArea [600, 600, 0, false];
    _this setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];
    _this setTriggerTimeout [10, 15, 20, true];
    _this setTriggerText "HanEnt1";
    _this setTriggerStatements ["{isPlayer _x} count thisList > 0;", "0 = [4,1,20,thisTrigger,['HanEnt1'],2] call fnc_spawnBandits;", "0 = [thisTrigger] spawn fnc_despawnBandits;"];
    _trigger_500 = _this;

EmptyDetector is where you put the coordinates for the "spawn trigger". It puts a 600 meter radius around those coordinates, when a player enters it, the AI spawns. Change setTriggerText "YOURMARKER" and the setTriggerStatements need to be changed as well:

 

[4,1,20,thisTrigger,['HanEnt1'],2]

 

4 = amount of AI

1 = random chance of adding extra AI

20 = patrol radius

HanEnt1 = give the name of the spawn you made

2 = skill level of AI

 

Hope it works, good luck :)

Thank you . I try it.

I was just wondering... Why are the markers inside the cust_spawns_chernarus.sqf and why are the spawns inside the cust_markers_chernarus.sqf?

[JoSchaap]

developers sometimes tend to make minor scripting jokes like that ;)

[Fuchs]

Hm.. but it worx!

[ruubje11]

Yeah well, it's because it doesn't matter in which file they are to be honest. You could switch them around, think it's me that has switched them around ^^ If you look at your world_chernarus.sqf at the end of the file you see it just loads them both together regardless of content

 

Sorry ^^ but it does work either way

what about sarge custom spawns? please, help

[Petite]

Well its not working at all for me, No AI spawn where I put the marker and I did exactly what you said. Any Idea?

[asremix]

For SARGE AI

addons\SARGE\map_config\SAR_cfg_grps_chernarus.sqf

 

Find this

diag_log format["SAR_AI: Static spawning area definition started"];

 

And make like this

//custom

_this = createMarker ["SAR_patrol_zone_new6", [6710.73,4595.64]]; X,Y

_this setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE";

_this setMarkeralpha 0;

_this setMarkerType "Flag";

_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";

_this setMarkerSize [2, 2];   2,2 size

SAR_patrol_zone_new6 = _this;   zone_new6 this name

 

 

After

Find this

diag_log format["SAR_AI: Static Spawning for infantry patrols started"];

 

make like this

 

//custom

[sAR_patrol_zone_new6,3,6,10,"fortify",true,3600] call SAR_AI;

Hi guys,

i have probably stupid question, but can someone explain me, how exactly i get coords in the weird format like 6710.73,4595.64? Thank you very much ;)

[Woops]

Nobody can help me? :/

[Woops]

I wonder how you people can set custom patrol without knowledge how to get coordinates?

[Friendly]

To get cordinates you can place a character in the editor for where you want them to spawn and then just save as Sarge Cords and just go to Documents/Arma 2/missions/Sarge Cords/mission.sqm and copy the cordinates from the character you spawned in.

[Three Plus]

How would I set it so they do not respawn.

[bigmo1225]

Making a respawn timer for this would be amazing.

 

Also does this have a 100% spawn guarantee?
