please add random patrols to the site modules.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I noticed that when you place a SITES module (BLUFOR) at camp rogain the units stand very still, it would have a nice touch if there were patrolling units in the radius you selected.

it would bring the area to life and it would create oppitunities for people who do not know the art of advanced scripting not to mention it would be random everytime you played it, giving a better overall experiance.

I TESTED THIS ON STABLE BUILD {F25643}

Steps To Reproduce

load up editor on stratis, and place a site module (BASE) in camp rogain.
I put the radius on 400 to test.
then place a blufor unit (PLAYER) inside camp rogain.
click preview
once started press escape and go to camera mode.
make sure accutime is set to 1.0 so the game is un paused.
notice that no units are patrolling around guarding their site.

I HAVE ADDED A REPRO MISSION SO YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND LOAD EDITOR AND TEST STRAIGHT AWAY

Additional Information

you could add another field on the sites module such as "guarded area" and this radius could indicate what area the units patrol.

it could be either units or vehicles that patrol

Hello,
Observation post and Base have their soldiers patrolling around, the other ones (ie. Traffic Checkpoint) do not have this capability as a design decision.

I thought the same until I tried it in VR map, it seems they spawn a patrol at a good distance from the placement of the module, it can be 200-300 meters away.

In a built up area you may not see them.
