spawning units via script ?

[braincrush]

Is there a way to spawn units that are not pre placed on the map ?

what i want to achieve, is a training mission with ground targets re-spawning indefinitely.

II believe I've found the function i was looking for, however i can't get it to work, i did a message as a second action and it is displayed so i presume the script is executed, but without any results.

 

the function is "if not Group.getByName('groupName') then

mist.respawnGroup('groupName', true)

end"

 

any ideas what might go wrong ? i did of course loaded mist at the beginning of the mission.

I think that you group need to exist before the respawn

it did, ive triggered the script "on goup destroyed" so after the group is gone the script was supposed to confirm it and re spawn the it, or so i thought :)

I did it like this :

Trigger: ONCE (or switched condition for endless respawn )

Condition: Lua predicate "if not Group.getByName('Tanker2') then

return true

end"

Actions: Do script "mist.respawnGroup ('Tanker2',true)"

Deactivating the group works for me. Make it the first action, then make the second action to run the script.
