Reducing or disabling Drones

[Hux]

I would like to minimize drone spawns but not disable.

Is this possible?

 

Thank you.

Hello.

1000 times were discussed.

https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_config/Configs/CfgEpochClient.hpp#L18

https://github.com/EpochModTeam/Epoch/blob/release/Sources/epoch_config/Configs/CfgEpochClient.hpp#L26

 

Good luck.

There are also some new settings incoming that allow you to specify how many troops are spawned and their skills.

Thank you zhaleks and axeman.

I had seen that github page and fooled around with that making some adjustments but the drones seem to be spawning at the same rate.

I tried setting drones to 0:  {"I_UAV_01_F",0},   to see what that would do but had no effect.

I was wondering if there were any other files that dealt with the drones and could be adjusted?

 

Thanks for the reply.

12 people squad would be awesome! :D though first one has to fix a "bug" with reloging, where you relog and AI is gone. Maybe re-enable AI next time you log in? Or is it not solvable issue? I tend to abuse it a lot :/

Hello.

Sorry, then.

Thought, it's working as it should. I'm fine with the default settings.

 

Good luck.

0:  {"I_UAV_01_F",0},   would eliminate drones. To reduce the chance of them spawning look in @epochhive\a3_epoch_server_settings\config\CfgMainTable. You will find definitions for the chance that a UAV is spawned for varous looting activities. There is probably a setting for the chance that they spawn when a player fires a weapons but I have not run across it yet.  Look for entries like this:

 

class CfgMainTable
{
    class Default
    {
        chance = 1;
        lootMin = 1;
        LootMax = 1;
        tables[] = { "Food" };
        antagonists[] = {
                { "UAV", 30 },
                { "Cloak", 25 }, // Night = Epoch_Cloak_F, Day = Epoch_Sapper_F
                { "Sapper", 25 },
                { "SapperB", 15 },
                { "PHANTOM", 5 }

 

I hope this is helpful.

I'm sorry....it does seem to be working. I haven't seen a drone since I posted here last...
