That's an ArmA bug and not related to this mission release, It started with the last patch and happens if you spend longer than 10 minutes on any server.

[f3cuk]

Is it possible to have a set of static AI and associated boxes reset after all AI units within 'X' range have been killed so that they will respawn and also spawn new boxes?  I have it set on my server so that AI have taken over Devil's Castle.  But as it stands once one group of players kills them all and loots the boxes then any other group has to wait until after the following restart several hours later to do it again.

 

Yes this is possible, but it is hardly static any more and rewriting the static stuff to make it dynamic (e.g. a mission) seems like a waste of time. You'd best convert it into an actual mission if you want this (which is actually not that hard and as a plus you are creating some content for everyone to enjoy ;-))

 

Hello, 

 

I have a problem with the mission "Ural Ambush" , impossible to validate 

 

Make sure all the AI are dead on that mission. Other then that, there seems to be an issue with missions not completing which we are looking into.

 

So if you are a hero in a hero mission the AI wont shoot at you? and bandit in bandit mission they wont bother you??

 

is there a way to control the humanity for this? 5000, and -5000 is too low of number.

 

also has this mod reduced the AI difficultly, they don't behave like a normal WAI AI (which are known to be super smart) and difficult to kill!

 

Nope AI will shoot at you either way. On the testbranch we are looking into making Hero AI behave a little different with warnings when you get too close, but on the current release there is nothing like that. Yes we reduced tactical awareness to Yellow since Red gave us some weird problems whilst testing. You might want to switch it back to Red and check if that suits your server better.

 

Hello there,

 

I would like to show these mission only if you got a GPS.

How can I do that ?

 

This is possible, but you'll have to rewrite the marker system to announce markers and write a custom mission marker that picks those up. This is actually a side project that i've been working on but it's nowhere near release, in other words, you'll have to write it yourself if you really want this.

 

That's an ArmA bug and not related to this mission release, It started with the last patch and happens if you spend longer than 10 minutes on any server.

 

 

^^ Which makes you wonder, did they even test 1.63 for more then 10 minutes...

[Thug]

Need a little help. I tryed to do this on my own and cant get it to work.

If someone could look at what i have done and tell what is wrong.

I have an AI Hero Outpost on chernarus.

I put 4 groups of 6 ai in the static\default.sqf and cant get them to spawn in.

below is the config.sqf in the first spoiler

in the next spoiler is the default.sqf

In the system\server_monitor.sqf i put the following above allowConnection = true;  

ExecVM "\z\addons\dayz_server\WAI\init.sqf";

 

THIS IS AN UPDATE;

I Fixed it. i read about 30 post and found the answer. 

[Thug]

What i did was removed the following:

 

or ["Random","at"],

Same issue I had lol, Oooops!

[BetterDeadThanZed]

Decided to give this another try and don't want to go through 48 pages.

 

How can I remove the hero missions? None of my players are bandits because I run PvE servers.

I'm still with an issue with this system.. I just can't make the AI spawn with the gear set i created.

Can anyone help me?

 

I'm using it like this:

I already tried to use these ways:

In this case, i want to use the ai_gear2.

What am i doing wrong?

Ok so I took your advice and edited one of the missions to become a custom mission instead of using a static one.  From what I can tell it appears to be set up properly but I can't get it to spawn the mission.  I removed all other missions in the bandit section except for this one and set it to 100% spawn chance.  I've been on the server for an hour and two hero missions spawned and then nothing.  There are no errors in the server RPT.  What am I missing?  Other bandit missions are still running despite the fact that I have taken them out of the config file as having a chance to run.

Finally found all the answers on my own.  

[f3cuk]

@Darth_Rogue: You need to define at least one _crate in order for it crate missions to work.

--

@BetterDeadThenZed: Wicked AI is - code-wise - nothing like the old one. Fundamentals have changed and you've got to read yourself into them before attempting to install a static mission. We've included an example with clear instructions on how to use the static AI. Before anything read that and change your custom mission accordingly. If you have trouble converting please post your file and let others help you.

About only wanting to spawn Bandit missions, there's a few ways to do this. If you want multiple missions enabled simply copy all the bandit missions into the hero missions folder and replace the hero missions array in config.sqf with the bandit one. If not, simply remove the second timer from the init.sqf.

So this is not sufficient?

//Setup the crate
	_crate1 = createVehicle ["USVehicleBox",[6883.49,11440.7,0.001],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
	_crate2 = createVehicle ["USVehicleBox",[6878.31,11443.5,0.002],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
	[_crate1,[2,crate_weapons_buildables],[4,crate_tools_buildable],[30,crate_items_buildables],4] call dynamic_crate;
	[_crate2,[16,ai_wep_sniper],[8,crate_tools_sniper],[3,crate_items_high_value],[4,crate_backpacks_large]] call dynamic_crate;

Or should it be:

//Setup the crate
	_crate = createVehicle ["USVehicleBox",[6883.49,11440.7,0.001],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
	_crate1 = createVehicle ["USVehicleBox",[6878.31,11443.5,0.002],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
	[_crate,[2,crate_weapons_buildables],[4,crate_tools_buildable],[30,crate_items_buildables],4] call dynamic_crate;
	[_crate1,[16,ai_wep_sniper],[8,crate_tools_sniper],[3,crate_items_high_value],[4,crate_backpacks_large]] call dynamic_crate;

Also, I'm getting this error in my RPT.  I can't see where it's tied to anything in WAI but it only began appearing when I installed the custom bandit mission.  I'm trying to get it to spawn at specific coords but it's not working.  And it seems anytime it tries to load it gives this error:

23:26:34 Error in expression <X", "_newY", "_testPos"];
_newX = _posX + (_maxDist - (random (_maxDist * 2)));
>

>
23:26:34   Error Generic error in expression
23:26:34 File ca\modules\functions\misc\fn_findSafePos.sqf, line 90 

I have the coords listed in the mission file as:

if(isServer) then {
	 
	private 		["_baserunover","_mission","_directions","_position","_crate","_crate_type","_num"];

	// Get a safe position 80 meters from the nearest object
	_position		= [[6883.49,11440.7,0.001]];
	
	// Initialise the mission variable with the following options, [position, difficulty, mission name, mission type (MainHero/Mainbandit), minefield (true or false)] call mission_init;
	_mission 		= [_position,"hard","Devil's Castle","MainBandit",true] call mission_init;
 

What am I doing wrong?

[Liqu1dShadow]

can I put crates into the default.sqf in the static mission folder?

 

If so I would smile very hard!

[Darth_Rogue]

You sure can.  See my post above.  Those lines work to spawn crates in a static location.

[Liqu1dShadow]

Which one? the top section?

 

//Setup the crate
    _crate1 = createVehicle ["USVehicleBox",[6883.49,11440.7,0.001],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];
    _crate2 = createVehicle ["USVehicleBox",[6878.31,11443.5,0.002],[],0,"CAN_COLLIDE"];

    [_crate2,[16,ai_wep_sniper],[8,crate_tools_sniper],[3,crate_items_high_value],[4,crate_backpacks_large]] call dynamic_crate;

[Darth_Rogue]

Yes.  That's working for me in my static default.sqf.  Trying to migrate it over to dynamic is a bit of a challenge for me though.  

[Liqu1dShadow]

so do you put it at the end or in the middle between the missions?

I have a prison I created on an island. I have placed 4 AI there with the police skin. I'd like to give them shotguns. In config.sqf, I added this line:

ai_wep_shotgun = [["Winchester1866","15Rnd_W1866_Slug"],["MR43","8Rnd_B_Beneli_Pellets"],["M1014","8Rnd_B_Beneli_74Slug"],["Remington870_lamp","8Rnd_B_Beneli_74Slug"]];

     "Random",                       // Primary gun set number and rocket launcher. "Random" for random weapon set, "at" for anti-tank, "aa" for anti-air launcher
     4,                              // Number of magazines

I opened spawn_static.sqf and added this line:

if(_gun == 3)  exitWith { _aiweapon = ai_wep_shotgun; };

I tried setting the primary gun number to "3" and to 3 and neither worked. They spawn without a weapon.

 

Hey @Betterdead, 

like f3cuk said in a few posts above, you should make the shotgun edit in the spawn_group.sqf like the example he gave me, but in the specific variable, for guns...

Then in the spawn_static you should only add the number of reference. for example:

 

in the spawn_group you add this line:

if(_gun == 3) exitWith { _aiweapon = ai_wep_shotgun; };

in the config.cfg you add this:

ai_wep_shotgun = [["Winchester1866","15Rnd_W1866_Slug"],["MR43","8Rnd_B_Beneli_Pellets"],["M1014","8Rnd_B_Beneli_74Slug"],["Remington870_lamp","8Rnd_B_Beneli_74Slug"]];

and in the spawn_static this:

 3,                       // Primary gun set number

Maybe i'm wrong, but i think you will understand the logic =D

so do you put it at the end or in the middle between the missions?

 

 

I had mine at the very bottom...no problems.
