How to activate a unit using chat command in MP?

[Charly_Owl]

Greetings, everyone.

 

I'm totally new to mission-building and I decided to create a training mission for WW2 enthusiasts. Nothing fancy... you have ground starts and air starts for each side and you can either dogfight other clients or you can dogfight AIs.

 

My question is: I know some people "spawn" units using commands in the multiplayer chat. I guess this is done by having a "Late Activation" unit hidden somewhere that is triggered by this command. Do you guys know if there is a tutorial to allow me to simply call a function (like... I don't know... "-spawn190@10000") and activate an AI by doing so?

If you like to respawn units via MP chat, you will need SLMOD (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=80979) on the server - it will not work as SinglePlayer!

 

If you like to use the radio F10 menu, it will goes over "Late Activation"!

 

Place units (Name: test) on the map and click: "Late Activation"

 

Under Triggers Setup

Once // Time More(2) // Radio Item Add (AI 1, Flag = 1, Value = 1)

Switch Condition // Flag is True(1) // Group Activate (test) && Remove Radio Item (AI 1)
