Hi all -
My friends and I took a little break from DCS for a bit, and played again last night. I have some pretty decent scripted mission events running that rely on the 'mist.respawnGroup' script, and have worked for, well, ever. I'm assuming since one of the latest patches this script now does not work for ground unit respawns? My air units work just fine, and will respawn just like they did 6 months ago. No errors indicated in the log file, just no respawn.
To be clear, I am setting a mission flag ON on a group dead trigger condition. My respawn trigger condition is flag ON, and time since flag. my actions are DO SCRIPT below, and turn the flag OFF. I also have a MESSAGE TO ALL debug message "debug_GROUPNAMErespawn" that IS working, so the conditions are being met to trigger the script, the script just isn't working like it did before. Methodology on aircraft respawns is identical, and IS working.
if not Group.getByName('GROUPNAME') then
mist.respawnGroup('GROUPNAME', true)
end
Any thoughts on this? I can't speak highly enough of the effectiveness of the MIST scripting tool, and it's given my friends and me tons of ability to generate some really fun missions to jump into for a few hours at a time, I'd love to get these back up and running.
