Randomnes?

[Stratos]

My idea, is to have a mission that can play in 10 different ways every time is started, let me explain to see If is possible and how it is done.

 

Each time mission starts a random number is picked from 0 to 99 (or DCS uses from 1 to 100?)

 

Imagine the numbe picked is the 44, is possible to activate certain groups that will become active If the random number is between 40 and 49? Other groups are not activated and hence not appear on the mission.

 

You replay the mission, now the number picked is the 78. Groups activated should have a activation number from 70 to 79 and the rest of groups should not be active.

 

I explained myself? I will like to create a mission it plays differently everytime you load it, so to add randomness factor to air and ground grups the player will encounter.

 

Is doable? And If yes, how is done?

Will try the mission Druid posted and see If I can replicate on my new missions

But shouldn't be possible to have the same with triggers?

Yes it is possible

Mission Start // // Flag Set Random Value (1,1,100)

Once // Flag Eguals(1,1) // Group Activate (Group #001)

Once // Flag Eguals(1,2) // Group Activate (Group #002)

....

Once // Flag Eguals(1,100) // Group Activate (Group #100)

sounds like an excellent plan! will try it, thanks!

What mwd2 said ^^^ above.

 

You don't need to use such a large range of 0-99 (or 1-100, either will work). Just use 0-9 (or 1-10). Set a random flag with a Mission Start event, like:

Random Flag 10, Min 1 Max 10

 

Then make all of your groups on the map, place them where you want and set them to Late Activation. Make as many groups as you want.

 

Then make ten Once events to use the random Flag 10 with condition Flag 10 = x, where x is 1-10. In Actions, add Group Activate for all those groups you want to have going with each value of Flag 10. Then you will have ten of these instead of a hundred.
