Oh, this mod is no longer supported. Hasn't been updated in 6 years.

Would it be possible to add support for 2 primary weapons mods? Thanks

Can you change the vehicles spawner so it spawns on the exact X, Y, *and* Z coordinates of the marker placed?

Right now I'm trying to place a respawner on a carrier. However, a carrier is an object, so ArmA keeps spawning the objects at the bottom of the ocean or way up in the air, destroying the vehicle. For some reason the game just REFUSES to place it on the damn marker where I want it to actually be.

It is so infuriating because the vehicle spawner is SO INCREDIBLY USEFUL on other missions. Please change how it handles spawns. While you're at it, I'd appreciate the ability to set it for a limited number of spawns or a timed cooldown if I so choose.

A player discovered he can spam the vehicle spawn and set off an endless chain explosion and now it's a meme everyone else has adopted and I can't make them stop except by removing the spawner.

In the "Code" textbox of the Recruitment module menu, what kind of code would I use to disable damage on a spawned AI?

Too bad :(

It was removed because it was never in a functional state and I had no desire to keep developing it.
Atlas Aug 19, 2024 @ 10:23pm 
Was the insurgency module removed from this mod?
N. Sackett Jun 24, 2024 @ 3:05pm 
Is there a good walkthrough for this
N. Sackett Jun 24, 2024 @ 3:04pm 
How do I use this? I see it in editor, but then I don't have any idea what to do after I place it
Phil J Herman Jun 24, 2024 @ 9:20am 
I was using this with SOG and ran into a problem with the recruit module where only pilots would show. I solved it by blacklisting all pilots and crew and then whitelisting units I wanted. I wanted to leave this here for reference in case anyone has the same issue. Thanks for the great mod!
SpyderBlack723  [author] May 4, 2024 @ 2:45pm 
Yes, it does

How to limit the spawn of vehicles, or the maximum number?
Loki Sep 6, 2023 @ 11:38pm 
I have kind of got the vic spawner to work but it puts them in the bottom left of the map no mater what I do
Extradaemon Jul 31, 2023 @ 12:06pm 
Seem to be getting an error with the vehicle spawner
```Error Undefined variable in expression: _pos```
milk man² Jul 10, 2023 @ 12:33am 
Vehicles dont show up on the spawner for some reason, it will work sometimes but its VERY rare.
Sudo Jun 5, 2023 @ 3:50pm

Broletariat Mar 14, 2023 @ 4:01pm 
It might, I'm not sure
SpyderBlack723  [author] Mar 13, 2023 @ 11:21am 
Unit spawn code is executed on the server, does AIS require local execution?
Broletariat Mar 12, 2023 @ 10:37pm 
I am running into a slight bit of trouble with the unit spawner. The spawner itself works flawlessly, however it doesn't appear to be running code that I setup in the "code" box for the spawner. The code in questions is "_this call AIS_System_fnc_loadAIS;". Everytime a player spawns an AI, it is not actually added to AIS until I manually run the same code in the unit's int box. Any ideas?
hobbit_lv Feb 15, 2023 @ 9:14am 
What could be reason of vehicle spawner not working in multiplayer? I am pretty sure the set up is correct, as it works perfectly in the editor preview, but once mission is actually started on server, vehicles can't be spawned?
Soldier spawner works just fine, I observe issues only with vehicles in multiplayer.
SpyderBlack723  [author] Feb 4, 2023 @ 9:19am 
It's vanilla AI behavior, so any AI mod that addresses this issue will work.
Lord_Diablo Feb 4, 2023 @ 5:13am 
no, i didnt, i ended up removing the mod
Mice Feb 4, 2023 @ 3:01am 
@Wood Morning @lord_diablo Did you figured this? I'm having same problem
Livernoonions Jan 18, 2023 @ 12:37pm 
Is there a way to edit the ambient vehicles to not speed and run over everything?
Lord_Diablo Jan 9, 2023 @ 8:49am 
I cannot spawn any vehicle using the module, the menu opens, i click the vehicle, when i click the spawn button, it dispays an ace error which says that ace common cannot interact
The Creacher Oct 17, 2022 @ 9:43pm 
Does the vehicle spawner still work? The list populates using my whitelisted vehicles (testing with the vanilla Commanche helicopter) but when I hit spawn, nothing happens. I have synced the module with an object (flagpole) that I am using to access the menu. I placed down a helipad prop and named it air_spawner. I added air_spawner to the Spawn Position field. I haven't touched anything else. Any ideas what I missed?
Frostedawg Jul 25, 2022 @ 9:05pm 
also has anyone gotten the recruit module to work with macv sog units? I put B_MACV in factions and it only lets me recruit all the pilots and and what not. no actual troops.
Frostedawg Jul 14, 2022 @ 5:14pm 
So I was wondering if anyone had any magic way of getting the vehicle spawn to work on the carrier? I have been testing and changing spawn heights over and over trying to be able to spawn jets, helicopters, and even ground vehicles on the carrier deck.

@Dirty Pagan
For that specific script, it looks like you can just copy the contents of that github link (if you DL it -> Click on "Code" > "Download ZIP") and just throw it directly in your mission folder and it should work.
☠ Kibbe_Surdo ☠ Jul 11, 2022 @ 5:52pm 
Thx spyder I often receive those github scripts but never learned how to apply them on my singleplayer games, (honestly i often struggle to do so) would you know a link to a tuto that can teach me ?.
Frostedawg Jun 28, 2022 @ 9:34pm 
awesome thanks much!
SpyderBlack723  [author] Jun 28, 2022 @ 9:07pm 
Place a unit from the desired faction in the editor, then play as that unit. Once the game loads, pause and run the following code in the debug console in the center of the screen.

copytoclipboard (faction player);

then you should be able to just ctrl-v the faction into the module field.
Frostedawg Jun 28, 2022 @ 6:54pm 
so I'm trying to add ww2 factions from ifa3 and what not to the recruit mod but i cant find the faction tag to whitelist. Anyone try/ have any luck with that?
☠ Kibbe_Surdo ☠ Jun 5, 2022 @ 7:47am 
Hi i am looking for a script that can disgusie you as the ennemy
A. Ares Mar 17, 2022 @ 2:57am 
@Altinova mate, to be honest, I haven't use this mod for at least 1.5 years now so I don't really remember the whole set up. It is not really difficult to create a REALLY SIMPLE "currency" system through scripting but I will have to check it out again. I acccepted your friend request so we can talk more there...
Altinova Mar 16, 2022 @ 10:33pm 
@A. Ares any chance i can get that script?
viranto Mar 13, 2022 @ 6:50am 
Always the best mods dies first :/
Jodo Kast Mar 7, 2022 @ 8:37pm 
I don't know is Spyder still helps, but can anyone help me? I've made a custom BLUFOR faction with ORBAT from Alive. I'm currently trying to figure out why my faction's units wont fully appear on the Spyder recruitment module. I've made 10 units but only 4 appear. So it's not that the faction class name isn't put correctly it's something else yet I can't tell what it is. It could possibly be a mod interfering with it like equipment because I'm using multiple mods, but I can't say for sure.
If anyone can help, thank you in advance. I've checked through multiple forum posts already for something that could help but found nothing.
A. Ares Jul 15, 2021 @ 5:41am 
@TheCypherZA, if I remember correctly, there is a "script" box (that let you run a script every time you spawn a unit. It is pretty easy to script that so you will subtract the cost of the unit from the total. PM if you need help with that!
TheCypherZA Jul 15, 2021 @ 3:09am 
Is it possible to add a points cost to the spawners so that teams cannot just spawn whatever, however many times they want?

Points rewarded through completing objectives/capturing towns etc

@CryptikLemur

Polpox has a very nice real time pylon editor mod that's essentially maser arm from SOG.
SpyderBlack723  [author] Jun 7, 2021 @ 8:18pm 
This mod is no longer being developed.
