Random Group Spawner

Description
Thanks to ShinobiShadow for the logo.

This mod adds a number of modules that allow mission makers to easily spawn AI groups and vehicles during their mission. Spawning AI as the mission progresses will lead to better performance over having all AI be present from the start of the mission. Everything this mod does can be achieved relatively easily through scripting, this just makes it cleaner and more user friendly (at least in my opinion).

The AI that are spawned by these modules can also have specific waypoints to follow. This also applies to LAMBS Waypoints added by LAMBS_Danger. You can see what each LAMBS waypoint does from the LAMBS Wiki[github.com].

Please ensure you consult this guide[docs.google.com] to understand how the modules work, the modules have descriptions and tooltips, but the information in this documentation will be more in-depth. Some things may not be immediately clear, but these modules are set up in a way that I would use them.

Steam seems to be blocking links to Google Docs, so here's the link to the documentation for you to copy/paste into your browser if needed.

Recommended Mods:
LAMBS_Danger
3den Enhanced

KNOWN ISSUE:
Some vehicles will custom crews will refuse to follow waypoints. This appears to be down to which unit in the vehicle is the leader of the group. The seat of a unit in a custom vehicle crew is saved, which appears to fix this in most cases, but it seems to still occur in certain situations.

DISCLAIMER: Updates may change the functionality of existing modules within the mod, meaning existing configurations in created missions may be invalid and must be reconfigured. Whilst I will try to avoid this, I will do it if it’s for additional features to improve the mod. It is YOUR responsibility to ensure YOUR missions using this mod still work after updates.

Any chance it would be possible to make it so spawners can be activated by a trigger multiple times?

RHS vic's spawn under buildings when using rgs vehicle spawner i think its a bug

I'd just be happy if I could change the height of the vehicle spawn.

Would it be at all possible to get this to randomise the interval between waves, to make things less predictable for my players?

using wave spawner combined with ["marker_name","SEARCH",["CREEP",250,25,true]] gives back an error on the third wave:

getmarkerpos: type number, expected string, array (spawnscheduler.sqf, line 388)

the first two waves spawn without issue, but the third one returns that error and halts all spawns.

Spawns will continue until this condition is no longer true, for example ‘alive spawner_1’. How do I do that? Through a trigger? What and where do I prescribe?

Any way to use helicopters with this mod? like spawn them in the air and patrol?

Awesome Scofer Cheers bud, clicking the link still blocks it, but copy and pasting it in a search bar works perfectly :thumbsup:

Unfortunately in their infinite wisdom Steam seems to have stopped allowing you to just open links to Google Docs, when it shows the linked block page it should show the URL in white bold writing, which you can copy and paste directly into your browser.

In any case here's the link directly, hopefully Steam doesn't remove this comment for having it. I'll alter this page to also show it too.
