Mission updates

Implemented in mission sandbox:

• Mission manager now skips unavailable generators instead of throwing undefined-variable errors.

• Enemy-count scaling now executes through forge_pmc_fnc_updateEnemyCountFromActivePlayers and is applied by generated enemy spawns.

• HVT kill/capture generators no longer call an undefined patrol method; they spawn the HVT plus escorts directly.

• Capture HVT now publishes CaptureHvtMissionGenerator without overwriting HvtMissionGenerator.

• Delivery zones are placed at a random safe map location away from the cargo pickup.

• Destroy missions prefer nearby map-placed configured target buildings before spawning a fallback target.

• Defuse, Hostage, and HVT generators can use nearby building positions where available.

• all missions require player count check when spawning

  • Added forge_pmc_fnc_updateEnemyCountFromActivePlayers execution to generated enemy spawn paths. Attack, Defend, Defuse, Destroy, Hostage, HVT Kill, and HVT Capture now apply the active-player multiplier where they spawn enemy units or escorts.

{Mission manager} Wants:

• Prevent a missing/failed generator from breaking mission manager startup.
  • Mission manager now builds the generator list from variable names and skips unavailable/invalid generators with a warning.
• Support both HVT mission variants in weighted selection.
  • Registered generator keys now match CfgMissions weights: hvtkill and hvtcapture.

Errors: Resolved: undefined DefuseMissionGenerator could break mission manager startup.

{Attack} Wants:

• Apply active-player enemy count scaling.
  • Attack generated patrol size now uses the active-player multiplier.

Errors:

---

{Defence} Wants:

• Apply active-player enemy count scaling.
  • Defend wave template size now uses the active-player multiplier.

Errors:

---

{Defuse} Wants:

• add building to possible spawnable locations
  • Defuse protected object/device placement now attempts nearby building positions before falling back outdoors.
• Apply active-player enemy count scaling.
  • Defuse patrol size now uses the active-player multiplier.

Errors: Resolved: invalid exitWith {0} syntax in building-position selection.

{Delivery} Wants:

• add code to move marker to random location around the map
  • Delivery zone marker now moves to a random safe map location away from the cargo pickup, with fallback placement if a safe position cannot be found.

Errors: untested

Changes:

• added defined location for spawning cargo -- logic chain: spawn near "cargoSpawn", if not found, spawn near "ExtZone", if not found, revert to original offset
• added random destination-zone placement around the map

---

{Destroy} Wants:

• add possibility of map placed building as destroyable targets
  • Destroy now prefers nearby map-placed configured target objects before spawning a fallback target.
• Apply active-player enemy count scaling.
  • Destroy patrol size now uses the active-player multiplier.

Errors: untested

---

{Hostage} Wants:

• add building as possible spawning location
  • Hostages and shooters now receive nearby building positions from location selection and use them when available.
• have code look for marker "extMarker", if not found, find safe location within "blkMarker", if that fails, find safe location >2km away from task
  • Hostage extraction already searches ExtZone, falls back through blacklist-area safe placement, then falls back to a safe location over 2km from the task.
• Apply active-player enemy count scaling.
  • Hostage patrol size now uses the active-player multiplier.

Errors: untested

Changes:

• added a search for ExtZone
• if "ExtZone" is not found, will seach for a safe location within "blklist", if that fails, find a safe location >2km from task.
• Will attempt to spawn shooter and hostage inside a building if possible.

---

{HVT} Wants:

• add buildings as a possible spawning location
  • HVT Kill and HVT Capture now gather nearby building positions and use them for the HVT/escort spawn when available.
• have code look for marker "extMarker", if not found find safe location within "blkMarker", if that fails find safe location >2km away from task
  • HVT Kill and HVT Capture extraction zones now search ExtZone/extMarker, fall back through blklist/blkMarker, then fall back to a safe location over 2km from the task.
• Apply active-player enemy count scaling.
  • HVT escort count now uses the active-player multiplier.
• Keep HVT Kill and HVT Capture as separate generators.
  • Capture HVT now publishes CaptureHvtMissionGenerator instead of overwriting HvtMissionGenerator.

Errors: untested

Changes:

• created a second hvt mission that defines a capture mission instead of kill
• fixed HVT generators calling an undefined patrol method
