Ok thanks. Is there any way to do something like that? Blacklist certain units from spawning from certain areas? Just curious

Negative, 0=execVM "staticdata.sqf" doesn't work, nor does 1=execVM "staticData.sqf"

Oh well, for now just typing in the blacklist works, just hard to modify/see it in the init block.

Follow up. If I have a blacklist in a placement module, does it apply to all placement modules or just that one? For example, have a TAOR with blacklisted artillery pieces, but another TAOR where they are not blacklisted?

Works when executing an .sqf. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. Will try when I finally get off this week of work.

Perfect thanks!

Spyder is correct. So you're saying trying to run the script from the Alive required module unit field?

So this bug is was occurring for me as well. However, not 75% works, but 50% moves it to 25%. Others all work. Just FYI

So I'm having some trouble with my blacklist. I have followed the instructions in the wiki, and I know this has occured for other people in the past. I am using the staticData.sqf method.

If I put the blacklist into an Alive module init field, it does work. However, the blacklist is a bit long to go into an init field.

I know the staticData.sqf is being loaded, because the C2ISTAR tasks are set, and the faction transport helicopter change also works. Is the blacklist just too long? I don't get any errors when loading the mission, and I originally did when I was missing a comma here and there.

Should just be in the on act of the trigger. Change thisTrigger to your trigger name, and you can change the other variables as well (class name, callsign, etc.)

Still nothing. Still get the error about local variable in global space when placing _randomGroup and not "_randomGroup".

Only the original script specifying a specific group works for me. Oh well, thank you so much for the effort!
