Need some help with a specific F10 menu spawn dilemma.

I am putting together a sort of "training/practice environment" where I can spawn enemy aircraft groups in via the F10 menu. This in itself is not difficult but I wanted to try something a little different. To give you a hypothetical. The F10 menu might have a entry for "fighters" and when you hit that, it then selects one out of five different possible groups to spawn randomly. Is there a way to do this without getting into scripting and just using flags/triggers in the editor? If not, I have no real knowledge of how to do such a thing via scripts so if that is the only option, I would really need to know where I should start on that.

I suppose the big issue here is that I can figure out how to get the F10 menu options to select randomly from a set of possible groups but I can't really figure out how to remove the group that spawned from the pool of possible groups when the player hits that button in the F10 menu again.

First set up a radio item, on flag 1, to spawn a fighter. When flag 1 is activated by the player, set another flag to a random value

3 SWITCHED CONDITION (player activates radio item on flag 1, NO EVENT)

===

FLAG IS TRUE (1)

===

SET FLAG RANDOM VALUE (10,1,5)

Each value corresponds to a group like so-

3 SWITCHED CONDITION (activate fighter group 1, NO EVENT)

===

FLAG EQUALS (10, 1)

FLAG IS FALSE (101)

===

GROUP ACTIVATE (fighter group 1)

FLAG OFF (10)

FLAG ON (101)

Then a check to see if the group has already spawned and re-roll the RNG if so

3 SWITCHED CONDITION (fighter group 1 already spawned)

=====

FLAG EQUALS (10, 1)

FLAG IS TRUE (101)

=====

FLAG OFF (10)

SET FLAG RANDOM VALUE (10, 1, 5)

Lastly, a trigger to remove the radio item once all five groups are activated

1 ONCE (fighters down, NO EVENT)

===

FLAG IS TRUE (101)

FLAG IS TRUE (102)

FLAG IS TRUE (103)

FLAG IS TRUE (104)

FLAG IS TRUE (105)

===

MESSAGE TO ALL ('All fighter groups have been spawned', 10)

RADIO ITEM REMOVE ('Activate fighters')

Thanks so much!

Little mistake. We have to reset flag 10 prior to rerolling; otherwise, if the same number is generated twice, the switched condition will not activate because flag 10 didn't "switch" but remained the same. Fixed the pseudo trigger in the previous post.

Hi

I have mimicked the above logical sentences but I can not get the units to spawn beyond the fisrs unit.

Any corrections on the triggers logic by ED after this message was written?

Thank you
