"Radius of deployment" option in mission editor

[red_FoX]

Probability of presence in mission editor is great option to avoid lineariti in missions, but I'm wondering if it would be possible to add something like "radius of deployment" ?

This would make missions more interesting and dynamic, because enemies could spawn then on different positions on each mission start.

It's not clear what it is you want added, but you can make groups have random positions already. I do it by cloning groups and them letting triggers randomly select one of the clones to spawn during the mission. You can make it such that only one group spawns, or that they all can spawn. There is a lot of variety to be had.

We can add it in via the scripting engine, something like it will probably be in one of the near future versions of Mist. In the mean time there is a scripting function available in Mist that will sort of do what you want.

 

mist.groupToRandomZone() will set a new path to the group to travel to a random position within a trigger zone. Assuming the player isn't over the target area immediately, it is plausible that the group would be in a randomized location by the time a player gets there.

Thank you for your answer !

I have found MIST instructions on this forum, so I'll try to make a mission as you described.
