SVK_UVi Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 I am new to DCS mission editor, but want to know if it is possible to make a cycle of spawning of two AI. When player step in to the trigger zone there will be spawn of AI number 1 and after kill there will be spawn of AI number 2. After kill of AI n.2 i want to spawn again AI n.1 one and make this cycle for ever... Is it possible to make with basic mission editor? Thank you... My woodencockpit
Wrecking Crew Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Hi UVi, Since you are new to the ME, you might want to start with a bit of a simpler approach, by using the regular built in event and trigger capability. 1. How long do you want to mission to last? Say two hours... 2. How long do you expect each enemy AI to stay alive? Let's say 10 minutes. Over 120 minutes you would need 12 enemy AI groups that are Late Activated. When your Blue player enters the trigger zone then you Group Activate the first group. Even simpler is just have that first group active at the start. Make an event with the Condition of Group Dead for the first group and an Action of Group Activate for the second group. Clone that event and change the arguments to the second group being dead and activation of the third. Repeat for all of your groups. This is not difficult. When the last group is dead then award your player with a message that says mission complete -- congratulations! You may want to add a message to all of your events to inform the player of progress, like "5th group is dead, 7 more to go!" You can spawn a group over and over if you want to use a script. Research the Mist topic, the answers are in the manual. https://github.com/mrSkortch/MissionScriptingTools/releases WC Visit the Hollo Pointe DCS World server -- an open server with a variety of COOP & H2H missions including Combined Arms.

SVK_UVi Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 Thank you for your answer. Well, how did you describe that is the way i am doing mission now. And want to know if it is possible make this simple cycle with less AI to save some rows in trigger action column and also make mission dynamic for 2, 5 or 10 hours. I don't go to use MIST for now because i am just beginer. I am familiar with Excel and some other analytical softwares, and for me there are a lot of "commands" missing in mission editor...
