To verify that your city locations are working properly, turn on the module’s debug feature by inserting the following line of code into the editor module’s initialization field: Note that it does take a few seconds for the modules to spawn the civilians and send them walking/driving around. If I’ve setup my mission correctly I should see random vehicles and civilians around where I’ve placed my game logics. Once I’ve typed this script into the initialization field of both the Ambient Civilians and Ambient Civilian Vehicles modules I can then preview the mission.

is an array of names of our game logics that we inserted into the mission editor.

We will be setting it to the names of the game logics we inserted in the mission editor earlier.
