spawn airgroups?

But anyway, I think it is not possible to repeat spawn with a trigger only. It is better to use ontickgame method in a script described for instance in link #2 in my sig.

Thankyou Ataros. I'm aiming to spawn a group of Dorniers every XX min, so I've created the main mission (has all ground objects etc), and a sub-mission with only the Dornier bombers flight & waypoints. Here's my script so far which seem to be working, but I'm a little unsure of the timing parameters & their meaning ...

using System;
using maddox.game;
using maddox.game.world;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class Mission : AMission
{

public override void OnTickGame()
{
// Timing parameters
int Repeat = 108000; // ?? repeat mission every 60 min
int Dlay = 18000; // ?? launch Dorniers flights every 10 min

// load the Dornier's bombers sub-mission every ??10 min
if (Time.tickCounter() % Repeat == Dlay) // what does repeat parameter do? Dlay seems to spawn bombers every 10min OK
{
GamePlay.gpPostMissionLoad("missions/Multi/Dogfight/Test/Dorniers.mis");

// prints message on screen after mission load
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Another wave of German bombers heading towards Lympne airfield");

// prints message on screen in 10 minutes / 600 seconds
double initTime = 0.0;
Timeout(initTime += 600, () =>
{
GamePlay.gpHUDLogCenter("Another wave of German bombers heading towards Lympne airfield");
});

}
}
}

if (Time.tickCounter() % Repeat == Dlay) //


Ok % is the Modulo operator in c#

Repeat has a value of 108000
Dlay has a value of 1800

So your mission would load first after 10min and then every 60min.

for every 10min you should use
if (Time.tickCounter() % 1800 == 1799)
so it waits ~10min and then repeat the doniers every 10min
30ticks are around 1sec, but can vary (so often 34Ticks is a second).

Thankyou Kodiak, I've got it now.
