Delayed spawning of structures at a defined position.

[[DE] T-Bone]

Hello everyone,

I have a question about the mission editor and the subsequent changing of positions of units and structures.

Idea:
The plan is to have various units and structures such as FARP tent, FARP ammo and fuel truck in an area of an airport, this should represent a kind of warehouse. These should then change their position when certain cargos are set down in a trigger zone.

I want to simulate a functional FARP set-up in the field and at the same time introduce some immersion, as the warehouse is then gradually emptied.

I went looking for appropriate scripts and included an example in the attached .miz. It works so far, but the FARP tent always spawns at the bullseye and not at the position I defined (in the example at Tabqa airport)

 

Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this behaviour?

change your script to 

    ["x"] = 77192, -- use dcs local coords
    ["y"] = 244632, -- use dcs local coords

when spawning, you must use DCS local coords for your objects. And "y is z"
