Fixed Vehicle Spawns

Michael Cullen · September 10, 2016

I discovered yesterday that the default vehicle spawn script has a couple of bugs in it. It's not too much of a problem with island maps, but on maps with land in the debug area, it's a bit of a nightmare; vehicles end up spawning outside of the map, needlessly eating performance and just generally looking extremely messy

So, I fixed it up. Replace your ExileServer_world_spawnVehicles.sqf with the following code.

Hello.

If I wanted to add more vehicles (eg. M900, Hemit Transport etc) and increase nr of spawn vehicles on the map, would I do that in here? or elsewhere?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks this works Great for Takistan Map!.

Go in the Exileserver config and search for Vehicles spawn. you can edit this

Mine's not spawning anything on water. I seem to recall somewhere that while the array exists to "spawn stuff on water", there's no code that actually spawns watercraft. Was this ever resolved?
