just want ONE unit to spawn at mission start ---- how??

[SDsc0rch]

lil help please?

 

here's my mission file

 

attempting to follow this site's guidance - its good, but its not the kind of help i need, apparently

 

they describe the logic in terms of algorithms, which i understand why comp-sci guys would do that, but i need to learn HOW to do this specifically in DCS, using these odd DCS trigger windows

 

i've put two bandit AIs in the mission, i only want one to spawn (eventually i want to expand the total number of possible bandit AI up to five or ten or.. "more")

 

i've tried all kinds of combinations of ONCE and MISSION START etc etc - and nothing has worked so far - both AIs always spawn : /

 

there's something probably super obvious i'm totally missing - if anyone can help me make this happen, big "thx" to you

Late activation isn't checked for the groups that are set to spawn in. Thus they are already spawned in no matter what you do. Check the box for both of the groups. Also change the mission start conditions to a Once.

ha! it works!

 

"THAAANK YOU!"

 

you have NO IDEA how many hours i've been futzing around with this (hint: too many)

 

for future reference.. here is the mission that works
