Main post updated with version 2.0.

If it was infistar kicks you were getting (as I was) it was from the ehfired checks. Checkout the infistar version Donovan posted, it will fix it.

Main post updated with version 2.0.

Main post updated with BE filters tweak!

Richie, i'm working in the Turret version. You want to test it before release, on a test server maybe?

Ai default combat status is Blue (Neutral), Change it to Red (Combat), change the type of vehicle to an open pickup truck & Ai in the back will shoot at u as they go past, actually leaving the icons on display/map & Ai in vehicles is better after playing for a while,
You can increase number of vehicles in each Ai convoy or whatever you please.
 
nice script.

Nice Richie!
 
The spawn can be in different locations, anywere you want. Also, there is no limitation in the distance between the spawn points and the road.
 
The point _aPointNearRoad is not a spawn point. This point is were the script will begin to map roads. This point need to be near a road.

ZENITHOVMAN and HackSaw_TM,

The change on line ~570 should be, i believe:

Form...

_nearCascaUnits = player nearEntities ["I_Soldier_EPOCH", 100]; _nearCascaCars = player nearEntities ["B_MRAP_01_EPOCH", 100]; To...
_nearCascaUnits = player nearEntities ["I_Soldier_EPOCH", 100]; _nearCascaCars = player nearEntities [["B_MRAP_01_EPOCH","B_Truck_01_transport_F"], 100]; I will make this automatic and remove this redundance.
Will log all changes so you can make it on your version easily.

At the end of the week i will make a big update here. Including my version of multiple loot. thankyou for the help and ideas!

To make the vehicles enterable, remove this code from the script:
_motor addEventHandler ["GetIn",{ _motor = _this select 0; _player = _this select 2; if (_player in playableUnits) then { _player action ['getOut', _motor]; }; }];

Look at init(example).sqf to see how to run Andre Convoy, and reproduce it in your init.sqf.
No BE filters tweak needed.
 
 
INFISTAR USERS:
If your infiStar have this option:
/*  EXPERIMENTAL CU FIX   */ _CUF = true; /* true or false */ /* *experimental* - will transfer serverside units (including mission AI) to clientside */ You need to turn it off setting _CUF to false, or AI will not work.

Change the values in Redis.conf
 

save 900 1 save 300 10 save 60 1000  
900 1 means it will save after 900 seconds if there have been 1 change
300 10 means it will save after 300 seconds if there have been 10 changes

Fixed spawn icons just appearing on the map after all cascas vehicles spawn. Now the spawn icons appear at the begining!

I am running it server side. Mpmissions root put it it inside init.sqf. I will change it to  server_functions.sqf and see if that fixes it. Thanks to everyone.

ElDubya,
 
In DZMSInit.sqf, search for this line:

if (_x distance _coords < 700) then { You will find it two times, one time for the Major missions and another for the Minor missions.
 
The distance to spawn bots in this case is 700 meters, you can change 700 to wathever you want.

@ ElDubya,

Thanks for the tutorial!

@ CharlesDarwin,

ElDubya tutorial is nice. Try it please!

@ All,

The only problem left is that, i believe, DZMS makes AI and zombies enemyes, so the convoy can stop because of zombies.

If this happens, you can try to fix by making Zombies and AI friends with those lines:
 

//Bots Friend to Zombies EAST setFriend [CIVILIAN,1]; CIVILIAN setFriend [EAST,1]; You must run this command on the server and it can be run at the end of the server file init/server_functions.sqf.
Some other script may also run this command, so if its not working, may be some other AI script is changing it.

@smokingred,
 
You can change those arrays, on the Extra Konfiguration Section:
//Simple loot, for car 1 of convoys with 1 car and for car 1 and 2 with convoys with 2 or 3 cars //[command to add loot,the item to add as loot,[quantity of the item when in a convoy with 1 vehicle,2 vehicles,3 vehicles]] _loot1 = [ ["addWeaponCargoGlobal","NVGoggles",[3,4,5]], ["addWeaponCargoGlobal","ItemEtool",[3,4,5]], ["addWeaponCargoGlobal","Binocular_Vector",[2,3,4]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","ItemBloodBag",[8,12,16]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","PartEngine",[5,7,9]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","ItemBandage",[20,25,30]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","HandGrenade_West",[6,10,14]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","ItemBriefcase100oz",[1,1,2]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","ItemBriefcase100oz",[1,1,1]] ]; //High loot, for car 3 of convoys with 3 cars //[command to add loot,the item to add as loot,[quantity of the item when in a convoy with 1 vehicle,2 vehicles,3 vehicles]] _loot2 = [ ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","ItemBriefcase100oz",[1,2,3]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","ItemBriefcase100oz",[1,1,2]], ["addMagazineCargoGlobal","ItemBriefcase100oz",[1,1,2]] ];

New version of the main script (item 5 of the instructions):
 
Changes:
 
Better AI in/out vehicles.
Some new cool smart code.
NO TURRET VEHICLES ANYMORE, since they are a lot over powered.
 
*** UPDATED ON THE FIRST POST! ***

LunatikCH,
 
["addWeaponCargoGlobal","NVGoggles",[3,4,5]]
 
If the vehicle is set to have this loot (NVGoogles) it will have a quantity of 3 is its alone, 4 if its in a 2 cars convoy and 5 if its in a 3 cars convoy.
