Spawn support squad with with set time between

[LockJaw-65-]

Hi im trying to call a support squad with a repeating radio trigger. I have the script to call the squad and for the squad to join player/leader. The problem I have is that I want to call this squad several times but have a time between calls lets say 5 mins for example. So i have set the radio trigger to repeat and put 500 in each of the countdowns but it does not work because you can call the squad agin straight away??
Any help would be great thanks

G'day,
One way would be to do it like this :-

In your init place

squad_timeout = True;
Publicvariable "squad_timeout";

In your trigger condition field put

squad_timeout

and in your script put this at the start

if (!(squad_timeout)) exitwith {hint "You must wait for 5 minutes before you can call a new squad";};
squad_timeout = False;
Publicvariable "squad_timeout";

and this at the end of your script after your spawn code

sleep 300;
squad_timeout = True;
Publicvariable "squad_timeout";

Forgive any errors not at my Arma machine at the moment, but that should do the trick mate.

Cheers

That works perfect, exactly what I wanted.
Many thanks

btw does 300 equal 300 mins, never been sure about this lol

Heya mate, Glad that it worked for you
300 = 300 seconds
sleep will only work with counting seconds.
