Zeus Zone Population Tool

[ComfyPillow]

This is something I've been thinking about for a while now.

Basically I want one or more Zeus modules that allow me to populate a certain area on the map with certain types of units with a certain behavior. Think back to AllOutWarfare, but more simplified, modular and without 100 buttons.

Those tools would look like the following:

Populate Area with X

Radius: Define how big the zone is (Zeus cursor is the middle point)
Faction: Select A faction for the units. Factions are defined by a central unit pool or with CfgGroups
Amount: How many units / Vehicles would be spawned.
Behavior: How should the spawned units behave. Example:

• None (Stay still)
• Patrol corners of zone
• Randomly patrol within zone
• Garrison Buildings inside zone (inf only)
• Loiter around Zone (Loiter range depends on the Radius defined above)
• Lay ambush (Units will lay down prone and will be put into combat/stealth mode

Add to Zeus: Choose to add spawned units to the zeus interface (Default = yes)

Ideally, there would be a module for each type:

• Infantry
• Special Infantry (Snipers, AA Teams, Divers, AT Team, MG Team, etc...)
• Vehicle (Additional option to select Light, Heavy vehicles and Helicopters, Planes
• Ship (Rhib's and such)

I originally intended this to be part of my Ares fork, but I thought that gamemasters could make use of such a tool, so they could set up certain zones a bit faster/easier.

Suggestions? @WhiteFox08 @Cuel @Mallow234

I'm fine with spawning with zeus so I don't really have a preference on this

Did you make any progress on this? I would love a module that allows me to easy populate places. Ambush functionality would be incredible.
