Helicopter spawns/loot...NEED HELP!

[Hadlis]

I'm having a tough time getting this to work on my server. Running an epoch server with dayz.st. I have changed my server.pbo/compiles/spawn_crashsite.sqf to reflect the changes all the tutorials say I should. I still get the regular vanilla loot to spawn and at most one an hour to spawn.

To change the frequency of chopper spawns I made changes to server.pbo/system/server_monitor.sqf. Again I made changes according to posts I have found but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.....Over a 3 hour period I get from 1-3 spawns...and sometimes none.

 

 

// [_guaranteedLoot, _randomizedLoot, _frequency, _variance, _spawnChance, _spawnMarker, _spawnRadius, _spawnFire, _fadeFire]
    if(OldHeliCrash) then {
        nul = [5, 4, (15 * 60), (5 * 60), 1, 'center', HeliCrashArea, true, false] spawn server_spawnCrashSite;
    };

    // Epoch Events
    nul = [] spawn server_spawnEvents;

    allowConnection = true;
    sm_done = true;
};
 

 

 

Thanks to anyone who can help me get this straight....I have been working on it for two weeks and have just run out of ideas on how to fix it.
