IED RANDOM SPAWN Arma Reforger Mod

EXTREMELY WIP (Very Early Build) ⚠️ Expect bugs, balance changes, and frequent updates. This mod was built very fast and is still under heavy iteration. That means: You may see instability (rare crashes / weird behavior) Edge-case bugs can happen (uncommon situations) Performance and balance will be tuned constantly Updates will continue as systems are refined What This Mod Does (In One Sentence) This mod adds a dynamic IED threat system that creates unpredictable danger near active players across the map. ✅ Explosive prefabs used by this mod come from: EODModByWitchkraft Main Features (Explained Simply) 1) Dynamic Road IED Spawning IEDs can spawn near roads around players. How it works: The system scans around active players Finds road candidates Places traps using configurable distance rules You can configure: min/max spawn distance scan range how often it updates (tick interval) 2) Indoor Door Trap Spawning The mod can also spawn traps at/near house doors, so the threat isn’t only on roads. This adds: ambush risk inside villages “clear the building” tension 3) Linked Trap Pairs (IED + Wire) Instead of spawning only an IED, the mod spawns a linked pair: IED (the main device) Wire trigger (activation / defusal flow) ✅ This keeps activation + defusal behavior consistent. 4) Smart Density & Spawn Limits (Anti-Spam) The mod prevents excessive trap clustering. It uses separate limits for: Road traps (max active road pairs) Door traps (max active door pairs) So tuning one doesn’t break the other. 5) Door-Specific Density Control Door traps can have their own minimum spacing, independent from road spacing. Example: Roads: allow traps every 80m Doors: require at least 150m between door traps 6) Persistent Clean Zones (No Instant Respawn) After an IED is cleared/destroyed, that area can become a blocked zone (no respawn there). Zone lifetime options: Permanent Time-based (expires after X minutes) 7) Distance Streaming System (Performance Friendly) Traps that are far away can be: unloaded (to reduce load) restored later when players return ✅ Helps with performance and world control. 8) Road-Aware Placement (More Realistic) The system tries to place traps using road logic: finds road segments applies edge/offset placement creates more believable “ambush” positions 9) Player-Only Trigger Logic Trigger behavior is patched so human players are the intended activation target. ✅ AI does not trigger traps like players do (by design). Server Configuration (No Script Editing Needed) ✅ Runtime JSON Configuration All server-friendly settings are managed via: settings.json You can configure: Road/Door max active pairs Spawn distances and scan ranges Density spacing (including door-specific spacing) Tick interval + streaming ranges Exclusion zone behavior Wire offsets + rotation Type weights + spawn context (road/door) ⚠️ After changing config: ✅ Restart the server/session.
