Spawn random aircraft

[Rhinozherous]

Hello! 

I want to setup a Training mission where I can fly to a waypoint and spawn one of 5 different aircraft as enemy... 

 

I setup 5 enemy aircrafts in air with "Late activstion" ticked. 

I setup a waypoint for my aircraft which sits inside a trigger zone. 

 

In the trigger settings I setup this:

 

Once> Part of Coalition in zone > Set Flag 1 Random Value from 1 to 5

 

---> Flag 1 - value 1 = Activate Mig21

---> Flag 1 - value 2 = Activate Su27

---> Flag 1 - value 3 = Activate Mirage

...and so on. 

 

Is this a good way to do this? Or did I get something wrong or too complicated? 

 

Thank you!

Thank you! What do you recommend for more?... Still learning the Editor.

With pleasure!

 

You can try MIST or MOOSE, both working with LUA:

Ah yes, I already "know" these awesome tools... but I am no programmer, so far I just hope to get over the basic editor functions 

Thank you very much!
