Infinite Respawning with MIST

[PhoenixTunes]

Hello everyone,

i'm just wondering if there is a way to respawn a group infinitely with MIST?

When I say infinitely, I mean that they won't stop respawning after the first respawned group dies such as when I use the code "mist.respawnGroup('F-86F CAP', true)".

Any help is greatly appreciated! :pilotfly:

Do you insist on MIST?

 

I do this all the time with MOOSE:

 

Badguy1 = SPAWN:New( "Badguy1" )
:InitRandomizePosition(true,1000,5)
 :InitLimit( 1, 101 )
 :SpawnScheduled( 30, .5 )

 

 

1 - Create what you want to be spawned and name the group Badguy1. Select "Late Activation."

 

2 - MISSION START trigger, "Moose load", no conditions, DO SCRIPT FILE, Moose.lua

 

3 - Save this snippet above into a filename ending with .lua.

 

4 - MISSION START trigger, "Mission load", no conditions, DO SCRIPT FILE, <what_you_named_it>.lua

 

5 - profit.

 

This gives you 1 badguy alive at a time, 101 total, spawned within a 1000M radius of where you place him, with a new one coming randomly 15 to 30 seconds after the existing one dies. Adjust counts, radius size to suit.

I use mist to respawn a couple of ways:

 

If unit dies: { Continuous Action: On crash } { UnitDead or GroupDead } {Do Script: mist.respawn... }

 

You can delay them this way as well, instead of Do script, set flag x to true, then another condition, time since flag x, do script mist.respawn, set flag x false...

 

If the aircraft RTB's and shutsdown it's engine:

 

Do script file:

 

function onShutdownAI:onEvent(event)

 

if world.event.S_EVENT_ENGINE_SHUTDOWN == event.id and event.initiator:getPlayerName() == nil then

local shutdownGroup = event.initiator:getGroup()

local shutdownType = event.initiator:getTypeName()

local shutdownCall = event.initiator:getCallsign()

local shutdownID = event.initiator:getID()

local shutdownName = shutdownGroup:getName()

local shutdownSide = shutdownGroup:getCoalition()

local shutdownMess1 = " has returned to base. We are getting another one in air ASAP."

 

trigger.action.deactivateGroup(shutdownGroup)

trigger.action.outTextForCoalition(shutdownSide, "A friendly " .. shutdownType .. ", callsign " .. shutdownCall .. shutdownMess1, 15)

 

 

if shutdownType == "F-86F" then mist.respawnGroup(shutdownName, true)

elseif shutdownType == "Other Aircraft" then mist.respawnGroup(shutdownName, true) --Change or delete

elseif shutdownType == "Other Aircraft" then mist.respawnGroup(shutdownName, true) --Change or delete

 

 

end

end

end

world.addEventHandler(onShutdownAI)

 

The above works for me.

 

Also, you can create a trigger zone, {switched condition} {part of group/unit out of zone} {do script mist.respawn...}

do
   if Group.getByName('F-86F CAP'):getSize() < 1 then
       mist.respawnGroup('F-86F CAP', true)
   end
end

Hope that helps.

do
   if Group.getByName('F-86F CAP'):getSize() < 1 then
       mist.respawnGroup('F-86F CAP', true)
   end
end

Hope that helps.

 

is their a way to pass a variable in the Group.getByName?

 

eg do

if Group.getByName('Variable'):getSize() < 1 then

mist.respawnGroup('Variable', true)

end

end

Hi, I'm quite new to the MOOSE, I've tried your script and it works for single unit, but if I use group with more than 1 unit, seems not working. Is there a script for creating randomize respawn group with more than 1 unit or randomize respawn mutiple groups, please?

Following.......this would be great if you can do groups, like you say.

Change

 

:InitLimit( [b]1[/b], 101 )

 

to

 

:InitLimit( [b]2[/b], 101 )

 

for 2 aircraft to spawn, 3 for 3 aircraft, etc.

Great! You made my day! :thumbup: Now I understand that I need to practice and explore/try the code. Thanks so much!

I'm adding some training sorties to my main mission. I have 1 group of 2 su33s set to spawn from Kuznetsov. I am using MOOSE, I would like these 2 units to respawn from the original point after they're destroyed. I can only find information on respawning in random location. Could you help me out with assigning them to respawn back on the kuznetsov and repeat their orbit, thanks.

Delete the initrandomposition line

Delete the initrandomposition line

 

Thanks'a'million! I'm trying to learn, but it's a slow process

[Fab]

This is what I have been looking for!!!!!

 

Is there a way, to make the spawn use random planes

I don't know, I'm sure there is, but i definitely don't know how, I'm just now learning to spawn a single ac, I've got a long way too go

Is that possible if I wanted to choose when I wanted those units to come back? Say my team is ready for a fight, I want them to choose when to spawn them in each time. Not automatically after a delay. I currently use the \ F10 other to spawn aircraft in but when theyre destroyed thats it, cant bring them back. I'd like to respawn on their command multiple times.

You can use templates to randomize what gets spawned. Check the moose docs on github for example missions and build off of those. Thats what i do.

thanks man , gotta say , im no coder and this all makes my brain smoke lol

Not sure if this would fit your needs, but I made my OpForAC script available that could save you some time, re: adding unlimited spawning of opposing force AI aircraft.

I wrote it as a way to incorporate air-to-air training in any mission I create, without having to create enemy AI aircraft groups and triggers - via the F10 menu.  Also as sort of a way to continue to learn Lua and the SSE.
