Steps To Reproduce
In EDEN editor:
Place unit for player
Place object, set variable name: objectAlpha
save
place script <sector.sqf> into the mission files
sector.sqf
//Create the sector logic
_pos = getPos objectAlpha;
sectorA = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["ModuleSector_F",_pos,[],0,"NONE"];
//Default setting, which are optional
sectorA setVariable ["CostAir","0.1"];
sectorA setVariable ["CostInfantry","0.1"];
sectorA setVariable ["CostPlayers","0.1"];
sectorA setVariable ["CostTracked","0.1"];
sectorA setVariable ["CostWater","0.1"];
sectorA setVariable ["CostWheeled","0.1"];
sectorA setVariable ["DefaultOwner","-1"]; //"-1" = None, "0"= West, "1" = East, "2"= independent
sectorA setVariable ["Designation","A"];
sectorA setVariable ["Name","ALPHA"];
sectorA setVariable ["OnOwnerChange",""];
sectorA setVariable ["OwnerLimit","1"];
sectorA setVariable ["ScoreReward","0"];
sectorA setVariable ["TaskDescription","Capture sector ALPHA"];
sectorA setVariable ["TaskOwner","3"];
sectorA setVariable ["TaskTitle","ALPHA"];
//Set the sides for the sector
sectorA setVariable ["sides",[west, east]];
//Wait until sector is initialised
waitUntil {
!isNil { sectorA getVariable [ "finalized", nil ] } &&
{ !( sectorA getVariable [ "finalized", true ] ) }
};
//A size for the trigger
_trgSize = 50;
//Set the trigger size on the sector
sectorA setVariable [ "size", _trgSize ];
//Make the module update its trigger
[ sectorA, [], true, "area" ] call BIS_fnc_moduleSector;
//Unfortunately the sector has not been written to also update its marker so..
//Get the modules trigger
_trg = ( sectorA getVariable "areas" ) select 0;
//Get the triggers marker
_mrk = ( _trg getVariable "markers" ) select 0;
//Update the markers size
_mrk setMarkerSize [ _trgSize, _trgSize ];Start mission
Run script: [] execVM "sector.sqf";
script stops at line 26 (//Wait until sector is initialised)
Additional Information
Hello.
I woul like to ask you for help. I used this script for creating sectors in my missions (game mode).
https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/213237-warmachine-game-mode-spcooppvepvp/
It worked well until last update 1.86. It looks like part of the code Waiting until sector is initialised doesn't return true now.
waitUntil {
!isNil { sectorA getVariable [ "finalized", nil ] } &&
{ !( sectorA getVariable [ "finalized", true ] ) }
};If you can tell me what changed in the moduleSector , or how to change the script to work again, I'll be glad.
I spend one year by developing this missions. And now core mechanics doesn't work.
Thank You for your help.

I suspect the culprit is sectorA = (createGroup sideLogic) createUnit ["ModuleSector_F",_pos,[],0,"NONE"];. The module function of ModuleSector_F does not get called, and thus "finalized" will never set to be true. The update likely broke something in the createUnit command.

Solved:
Place any object in the editor. Set variable name to: objectAlpha
Run script
_pos = getPos objectAlpha; "ModuleSector_F" createUnit [_pos,createGroup sideLogic,format [" sectorA=this; //to set variable name this setvariable ['BIS_fnc_initModules_disableAutoActivation',false]; this setVariable ['name','ALPHA']; this setVariable ['Designation','A']; this setVariable ['OwnerLimit','1']; this setVariable ['OnOwnerChange','']; this setVariable ['CaptureCoef','0.05']; this setVariable ['CostInfantry','0.2']; this setVariable ['CostWheeled','0.2']; this setVariable ['CostTracked','0.2']; this setVariable ['CostWater','0.2']; this setVariable ['CostAir','0.2']; this setVariable ['CostPlayers','0.2']; this setVariable ['DefaultOwner','-1']; this setVariable ['TaskOwner','3']; this setVariable ['TaskTitle','ALPHA']; this setVariable ['taskDescription','Capture sector Alpha']; this setVariable ['ScoreReward','0']; this setVariable ['Sides',[west,east]]; this setVariable ['objectArea',[50,50,0,false ]]; "]];
