Multiple entries in Editor

Hi,

I want to have the same unit in multiple zones, eg., scout squad in zones 01, 02, 03, etc.

How do I enter them in the contours box?

zone01, zone02,     or zone01; zone02;     or zone01. zone02.

U mean u want randomize the unit appearance in the other zones?
I.e. unit may take place in zone01 or zone02 or zone03 etc.
If so, then simply change the name where the unit will be placed - zone0

That's right, the game regards 'zone0' to be equivalent to zone01, zone02, zone03, zone04.. etc. etc. and will pick any of these at random.

Thanks for the response.

My scenario has scout zones and encampment zones. This is a scenario called Dawn Patrol and I want to encounter scouts (pickets) before the encampments. I want the scout unit to show up 10% of the time in one of the scout zones. Don't want them appearing in the encampment zones, although it wouldn't be that much of a problem. I also want encampments to show up 33% of the time in the encampment zones, but not in the scout zones. Can this be done? Can you enter multiple zones in the Contour (s) box?

I want the scout unit to show up 10% of the time in one of the scout zones.

Create 10 zones with a name i.e. scout_zn01,...scout_zn10. Then place unit in mentioned zone with a name place `scout_zn0`. It does that probability of the unit appearance in each `scout_zn0` will be 10%.

I also want encampments to show up 33% of the time in the encampment zones, but not in the scout zones. Can this be done?

Same procedure as above, but this time there will be three zones, i.e. `camp_zn01,...camp_zn03`

Can you enter multiple zones in the Contour (s) box?

I think yes, u may put in the contour camp_zn01 a three zones scout_zn01, scout_zn02, scout_zn03 etc

Thanks so much, I will try it!

The above settings will work, if you intend the result to be '10% chance of selecting a given contour for placement'.

However, for '10% chance of unit appearing in the mission' its better to set it with the 'unit probability' slider.
