DZAI Custom AI Spawns help.

[jay8454]

I have tried this thread and it works.

 

However it only gives an example of how to do only one spawn location.

 

So here is the breck down of my help quary....

in the .sqf of cust_markers_chernarus.sqf I made one and it worked, but when I made the second one did not.

Please what have I done wrong?

    _this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [13379.6,3467.14,0.0017457]];
    _this setTriggerArea [600, 600, 0, false];
    _this setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];
    _this setTriggerTimeout [10, 15, 20, true];
    _this setTriggerText "SkalistyNE";
    _this setTriggerStatements ["{isPlayer _x} count thisList > 0;", "0 = [4,1,20,thisTrigger,['SkalistyNE'],3] call fnc_spawnBandits;", "0 = [thisTrigger] spawn fnc_despawnBandits;"];
    _trigger_500 = _this;
	
	_this = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", [13204.7,3322.42,0.000764847]];
    _this setTriggerArea [600, 600, 0, false];
    _this setTriggerActivation ["ANY", "PRESENT", true];
    _this setTriggerTimeout [10, 15, 20, true];
    _this setTriggerText "SkalistyN";
    _this setTriggerStatements ["{isPlayer _x} count thisList > 0;", "0 = [3,1,20,thisTrigger,['SkalistyN],3] call fnc_spawnBandits;", "0 = [thisTrigger] spawn fnc_despawnBandits;"];
    _trigger_501 = _this;

In this .sqf cust_spawns_chernarus.sqf I did like this:

_this = createMarker ["SkalistyNE", [13379.6,3467.14,0.0017457]];
_this setMarkerType "Empty";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_marker_320 = _this;

_this = createMarker ["SkalistyN", [13204.7,3322.42,0.000764847]];
_this setMarkerType "Empty";
_this setMarkerBrush "Solid";
_marker_321 = _this;  

 The first sets worked fine 4 AI appeared and one backup was random.

 

My server report file indicates this error:

Error in expression <0 = [3,1,20,thisTrigger,['SkalistyN],3] call fnc_spa>
15:31:05   Error position: <thisTrigger,['SkalistyN],3] call fnc_spa>
15:31:05   Error Generic error in expression

 

The second set of AI DO NOT appear, but the first appear fine.

 

What did I do wrong?

Can't I add multiple custom spawn locations?

Thank you for any help.

At first I missed it too, but when I looked closely at the error message, my Google-Fu found: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Category:Common_Scripting_Errors

 

While some of the error messages are not exactly spelled out with heaps of details, it pointed me to the fact that a data type was not as expected, which made me look again at all the data you had. Server report file for the win.

 

I strongly advice that you use Notepad++ with SQF highlighting, as it makes simple mistakes like the above one much more visible. Links to it can be found in various places in the forum - I'm sure someone has the link handy.
