ok thanks for the reply and the great info so just copy and past and rename?.
sry im still new to all this

</event>
<event name="GunnerTruckDeerisle">
<nominal>5</nominal>
<min>1</min>
<max>10</max>
<lifetime>3888000</lifetime>
<restock>0</restock>
<saferadius>500</saferadius>
<distanceradius>500</distanceradius>
<cleanupradius>200</cleanupradius>
<flags deletable="0" init_random="0" remove_damaged="1"/>
<position>fixed</position>
<limit>mixed</limit>
<active>1</active>
<children>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleWhite"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleTan"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="CivilianSedan_Wine"/>

No worries il try and explain with a bit more detail it might be a bit long, hopefully it will help.
also you shouldnt need to put the lifetime to 3888000 in the events spawn file they just stay anyway as everything is handled by the events spawner
you would normally only need to put the lifetime of the ones in the types to 3888000 if you are using a trader or spawning them in via admin tools for them to stay for 45days as the events.xml spawned vehicles are handled completely by the events system.

you would have to use one of the events already in the events.xml file unless you where going to add in all the x,y and rotation coordinates for each new spawn point in the cfgeventspawns.xml file.


The first way, If you were to use one of the vanilla events and just replace 2 of the vanilla vehicle children that is by far the easiest way
so you would go to your events.xml find one of the vehicle events again im using the vehiclehatchback02 for demonstration but any will do.

This is how it looks as standard (numbers may vary on deerisle)

<event name="VehicleHatchback02">
<nominal>8</nominal>
<min>5</min>
<max>11</max>
<lifetime>300</lifetime>
<restock>0</restock>
<saferadius>500</saferadius>
<distanceradius>500</distanceradius>
<cleanupradius>200</cleanupradius>
<flags deletable="0" init_random="0" remove_damaged="1"/>
<position>fixed</position>
<limit>mixed</limit>
<active>1</active>
<children>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="Hatchback_02"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="Hatchback_02_Black"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="Hatchback_02_Blue"/>
</children>
</event>

And change it to this to replace 2 of the coloured variants

<event name="VehicleHatchback02">
<nominal>8</nominal>
<min>5</min>
<max>11</max>
<lifetime>300</lifetime>
<restock>0</restock>
<saferadius>500</saferadius>
<distanceradius>500</distanceradius>
<cleanupradius>200</cleanupradius>
<flags deletable="0" init_random="0" remove_damaged="1"/>
<position>fixed</position>
<limit>mixed</limit>
<active>1</active>
<children>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="Hatchback_02"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleWhite"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleTan"/>
</children>
</event>

all i did was change the 2 class names on the 3rd and 4th to last lines and that would work ( you would have to either clear the vehicle database in the storage folder to respawn vehicles that have been spawned already or go around and delete any hatchbacks black and blue that had already spawned).





The second way, would be the second easiest not much different to the first,would be to add the extra child lines in so that you keep the vanilla cars and its colour varients and the gunnertruck like this (how i showed it the first time but with the class names you look to be using)


<event name="VehicleHatchback02">
<nominal>20</nominal>
<min>15</min>
<max>25</max>
<lifetime>300</lifetime>
<restock>0</restock>
<saferadius>500</saferadius>
<distanceradius>500</distanceradius>
<cleanupradius>200</cleanupradius>
<flags deletable="0" init_random="0" remove_damaged="1"/>
<position>fixed</position>
<limit>mixed</limit>
<active>1</active>
<children>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="Hatchback_02"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="Hatchback_02_Black"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="Hatchback_02_Blue"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleWhite"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleTan"/>
</children>
</event>

So all i did was copy the line with Hatchback_02_Blue pasted it twice below and added the gunnertruck classes i want then on those 2 lines you just pasted in with the gunnertruck classes where it says max and min put the maximum and minimum of those vehicles you want to spawn then all i do is add up all the mins so that makes 15 in this case and put that in the min at the start of the event, add up the maxs 25 in this case and add that to the max at the beginning of the event and then i put in a middle number for the nominal i just picked 20. and it should be good to go (as with above method you may need to delete the cars that have previously spawned to make the new ones spawn the car spawning can be a pain in the ass sometimes iv had it look like its not working and then a few restarts later it works...)



The Third way (i dont recommend this for the first time maybe at a later date you could do this theres some great videos scalespeeder and others have on youtube on adding in new vehicle positions )
If you wanted to put in all the positions you want the truck to spawn in you would have to make the eventname in the events.xml match up to a named list of positions in the cfgeventspawns.xml and for vehicles it must start Vehicle so you could do
<event name="VehicleGunnerTruck"> it can be whatever you want as long as it starts with vehicle and you have a matching name in the cfgeventspawns.xml. then go round the map spawn the vehicle in the place you want it then use either communityonlinetools esp menu to get the coordinates and rotation or use vppadmintools and press P to copy the co-ordinates to clipboard and add them into the correct place in cfgeventspawns.xml move onto the next location and do the same.

so you would do

<event name="VehicleGunnerTruck">
<nominal>8</nominal>
<min>5</min>
<max>11</max>
<lifetime>300</lifetime>
<restock>0</restock>
<saferadius>500</saferadius>
<distanceradius>500</distanceradius>
<cleanupradius>200</cleanupradius>
<flags deletable="0" init_random="0" remove_damaged="1"/>
<position>fixed</position>
<limit>mixed</limit>
<active>1</active>
<children>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisle"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleTan"/>
<child lootmax="0" lootmin="0" max="5" min="3" type="GunnerTruckDeerisleWhite"/>
</children>
</event>

and then in the cfgeventspawns.xml add in something like

<event name="VehicleGunnerTruck">
<pos x="13683.495117" z="11178.530273" a="1.486752" />
<pos x="4575.873047" z="8278.430664" a="318.470703" />
<pos x="2181.526855" z="3291.955566" a="87.347031" />
<pos x="7998.980469" z="14637.250977" a="339.290222" />
</event>

X is the X coordinate Z is the Z coordinate and A is the rotation that you would have to get yourself in game, you can have as many or as few as you want iv only put 4 as an example i think vanilla have around 60ish, obviously just make sure if you have 4 sets of coordinates you dont as it to spawn more than 4 vehicles. it should be good to go
