Sarge AI static spawn not working

[TheCorey28]

I'm trying to spawn static ai on my epoch server, but they don't show up.

The dynamic spawning is working fine and dandy. I'm hoping someone will point out a mistake I made, cause I can't figure it out.  :)

Here's part of the SAR_cfg_grps_tavi.sqf:

Best AI's I have used are the Wicked AI missions, I know that 90% of players hate just driving down the road and being shot by some random AI. But I know the Wicked AI have a patrol system in there but I have never tried it. Its also the easiest thing ever to install

Alrighty, i'll check it out m8. B)

I can help you out with the custom spawns if you like just pm me

Looking at your script   the create marker name SAR_whatever_whatever 

 

should match the ending line of each segment with same name

 

// Sabina, heli patrol area

    _this = createMarker ["SAR_patrol_sabina", [14894.9, 11081.3]];

    _this setMarkerShape "RECTANGLE";

    _this setMarkeralpha 0;

    _this setMarkerType "Flag";

    _this setMarkerBrush "Solid";

    _this setMarkerSize [1000, 4500];

    SAR_patrol_sabina = _this;

 

that could be your problem but then I am still learning
