A3W_missionsQuantity

Short Question can i also set the    A3W_missionsQuantity = 6;          // Number of missions running at the same time (0 to 6)   to an higher Value than 6 ?   So maybee 8 or 9 ?

you can but i would advise against it unless you have added a hell of a lot more missions in or you are just playing with a few mates as it would kill server performance when busy.

Does anyone have any idea? Instead of money, side and main missions, we have 10 different categories.
We did not change the missions quantity, but there appears as many missions as categories exist - actually 10.

Do we have to edit sth else somewhere?

this will depend on how you added the additional mission categories in your code.

from what it sounds like there are 10 mission controllers started at the same time for your code - so with the default code this is not intended and you will have to rewrite/tweak the mission control structures under server\missions\

Thx 4 answer - although I didn't get it finally. 

This is for example our setupMissionArrays.sqf

At the missionController ..

Code: [Select]

while {isNil "_nextMission"} do
{
_availableMissions = [MISSION_CTRL_PVAR_LIST, { !(_x select 2) }] call BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect;
// _availableMissions = MISSION_CTRL_PVAR_LIST; // If you want to allow multiple missions of the same type running along, uncomment this line and comment the one above

if (count _availableMissions > 0) then
{
_missionsList = _availableMissions call generateMissionWeights;
_nextMission = _missionsList call fn_selectRandomWeighted;
}
else
{
uiSleep 60;
};
};
Would it be any effect, if i change as said from

_availableMissions = [MISSION_CTRL_PVAR_LIST, { !(_x select 2) }] call BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect;
      // _availableMissions = MISSION_CTRL_PVAR_LIST; // If you want to allow multiple missions of the same type running along, uncomment this line and comment the one above

to

//_availableMissions = [MISSION_CTRL_PVAR_LIST, { !(_x select 2) }] call BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect;
      _availableMissions = MISSION_CTRL_PVAR_LIST; // If you want to allow multiple missions of the same type running along, uncomment this line and comment the one above

On the correct way?

if i read it correctly you have 10 mission types which spawn a permanent controller.

Code: [Select]

// Permanent controllers
{
// Compile mission processors
missionNamespace setVariable [format ["%1Processor", _x], (format ["server\missions\%1Processor.sqf", _x]) call mf_compile];

// Start controller
[] execVM format ["server\missions\%1Controller.sqf", _x];
uiSleep 5;
} forEach _ctrlTypes;
so the limits in the code underneath never kick in. You would have to rewrite the structure . or revert the mission types to a lower number.

Hm. Ok. Thx m8.
