MGI ADVANCED MODULES

@Cerberus12113..

As any other modules (and logics or objects) placed in editor (3den), server and clients must have
them, so the addon. If a client doesn’t have the mod, the mission will not run for him. On the other
hand,
this mod is light!.

See the documentation here.

is this server side only?

If you design it in such a way that it keeps a list of spawned units, and then de-spawns those same units when you leave a trigger area, that would have the added effect of fixing the issue I have where it despawns units I don't want it to despawn.

Aside from these flaws, the civilian module overall has still been very useful, and seems to perform better than other mods that do the same thing.

@Ace Yes, your vehicle spawning can have issue with a map without (or very few) road segments. Road must be correctly built and the segments linked accordingly.
About civilian life, if you don't want a despawn, just tick the spawn at start case. There is no other way. Spawning/despawning saves resources, spawning at start saves scenario and you can use the BI dynamic simulation. Spawn system is made for spawning randomly, each time you enter the area (and that works but, of course, it's not the same unit at the same place). A point you highligthed is the possible path outside the area, leaving some units not despawned. I'll do a fix for that. Previously, try to use squared triggers for areas.

Well, that whole issue, I just disabled the vehicle spawning completely. It's most likely a map issue and I can't be bothered to troubleshoot it further.

One thing I am hoping you could help me out with. Is there a command to exclude civilians from the spawning/despawning? Since I keep having civilian units despawned in areas after players leave said area. I have civilians placed in 3den that are part of the mission and I don't want those civilians to vanish. But when players leave the area, because it's shared with an area covered by the civilian module, they disappear, and you never get them back. They're just gone forever.

There should be a check if the civilians the module is erasing were spawned by the module in the first place.

A less common unconfirmed issue is it looks like civilians who are able to leave the area are also not despawned when players leave, causing them to pile up after especially long missions. When their area is no longer valid they try to path to 0,0,0

@Ace I can't help without any clue about your mods and chosen map, and ideally something to repro. Only sure thing, traffic module works fine for numerous mods and vehicles. Check your other mods and scripts.

I keep having issues with civilian vehicles crashing into and piling up against each other, creating a huge mess.

@nodeslammer27 Yes, you must have module(s) (of any sort) on server + clients. (like objects).

I will not create a module for a so specific task, like you flags with interaction, condition and textures. But I can help on BI forum if you open a topic about that. I guess there are already some relevant scripts or hints like:

nvm i just clicked a shitton of links i found out it HAS to be in the modset for the mission either way thanks for making an easy addon mod also a suggestion can you add a module that when synced to a flag will allow you to change between two textures on a flag after an interaction the only things configurable for the mission maker will be original texture and texture to change to aswell as seconds might be too big of an ask but will be a very nice addition

Is this clientside or does it need to be on the server
