createMine

Description

Creates a mine of the given type.

If the markers array only contains one marker name, it is ignored and the position parameter is used instead. If markers contains multiple marker names, one of them is chosen randomly and used as the center of the placement area.

This command creates objects of the CfgAmmo class named in configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _type >> "ammo".

Note

Unit ability to detect mines depends on many factors: The starting value is defined in config, for example ./CfgVehicles/B_soldier_F/detectSkill, which in this case is 12. Mine specialist value for example, defined in ./CfgVehicles/B_soldier_exp_F/detectSkill is 38. This value is then dynamically reduced depending on factors such as distance, if a unit is in a vehicle, if it is day or night time, how directly unit is looking at the mine, how fast unit is moving, how inconspicuous is the mine or even if it is visible.
