Randomly Spawned AI Bandit Camps

[mgm]

Hey Guys,

 

I would like to add the nice "Randomly Spawned AI Bandit Camps" feature CCG has to my server, do any of you have a working code that you would like to share?

 

The code pieces/examples I am after are:

1) The SQF file which places a basic AI bandit camp in the map -- nothing major just a tent and a few barrels, table/chairs etc. [see screenshot in reference #2 below]

2) A method of placing those camps randomly on the map because from what I see SQF has exact coordinates.

3) A method of Sarge customization/files to attach static AIs to (dynamic) random spawn points. Not sure how this will work but there must be a way?

 

 

The script I would like to obtain/program will place "AI Bandit Camp" buildings on the map using the SQF, in a configurable number of spots. I'm thinking about 3 to 5 - to be performance tested.

Once the 'building's are placed on the map, next it should spawn a random number of AI Bandit units (I'm using Sarge AI) to guard it.

Once these are done, it should add a custom marker/warning script on the map. When a player gets say about 1000 metres close to one of the random spawn AI bandit camps, they should get a warning that it exists nearby so that even if the player don't have visual on the camp, they will be aware and might look for it & loot AI bodies.

 

References:

1. In post there's a reference that it can be done using Sarge AI.
2. In http://epochmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/323-show-us-your-loadscreen/?p=17957 post there are pictures of their AI Bandit Camps which looks good to me.

Thanks in advance!

Adding the camps is easy enough to do, just make several camps and save each .sqf file, then use a script that randomly loads each one, that would happen each restart rather than via a trigger.

Getting Ai to spawn should be possible, call the Ai via the camps .sqf file.

 

Not sure how to add a marker though :unsure:

 

Have a look at how DZMS works, that spawns camps and Ai in the mission system.

I can help you setup WAI missions, with custom bases etc

Shouldn't be that hard.

Thanks for quick responses. I will play with Darihon's code and see how it goes. Cheers.
