ACM: ambient combat module

[Grimfist]

in my mission i have the ACM sync'ed with the player. then i have this in the init of my mission:

Code: [Select]

//waits for the ACM to get itsel ready before trying to alter its settings.
waitUntil {!isNil {BIS_ACM getVariable "initDone"}};
waitUntil {BIS_ACM getVariable "initDone"};

//Sets frequency and number of patrols (0-1). BIS_ACM is module name [0 = no patrols 1 = uber mega war]
[1, BIS_ACM] call BIS_ACM_setIntensityFunc;  

//min max spawn distance
[BIS_ACM, 300, 600] call BIS_ACM_setSpawnDistanceFunc;

//factions to be spawned [ you can change this to usmc say ( but not civs )
[["RU"], BIS_ACM] call BIS_ACM_setFactionsFunc;

//Skill range for spawned units
[0, 0.6, BIS_ACM] call BIS_ACM_setSkillFunc;

//Amount of ammo spawned units posses
[0.4, 0.6, BIS_ACM] call BIS_ACM_setAmmoFunc;

//Type of patrol. With 0 meaning no chance of appearing, and 1 meaning 100% chance. -1 removes patrol type completely. [the setting will make ground units definatly appear and a 25% chance that aircraft will appear]
["ground_patrol", 1, BIS_ACM] call BIS_ACM_setTypeChanceFunc;

["air_patrol", 0.25, BIS_ACM] call BIS_ACM_setTypeChanceFunc;

//sets what is acctually spawning
[BIS_ACM,
[
"RU_InfSquad",
"RU_InfSection",
"RU_InfSection_AT",
"RU_InfSection_AA",
"RU_InfSection_MG",
"RU_SniperTeam",
"RUS_ReconTeam",
"MVD_AssaultTeam",
"ru_motinfsection_recon",
"ru_motinfsection_patrol",
"ru_mi24vsquadron",
"ru_mechinfsquad_2"

]
] call BIS_ACM_addGroupClassesFunc;
};

now the ACM activates but my above settings do not work. i cant seem to see why, can anyone?
TIA, grim.

Just to be sure, not being a smartass 

Did you name the ACM in the editor?
In your example it should be named BIS_ACM.

ahh, no it is not. ty laggy!

ty it works!

also is it possible to create a ACM 'safezone' where units will not spawn, etc the airfield. i know i can pause the ACM till the player leaves the airfield.

for now i have snipers and tanks everywhere with 'alowdamage false' to kick all ai that spaned back to where they came from

  Good luck!

If it still doesn't work, there is something in the script that I have missed.

This works for me: http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=34014.msg234720#msg234720

There you will see how to "blacklist" areas.
