Examples
- Example 1:
- Spawn five random EAST units at aPosition:
[getPos aPosition, east, 5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; - Example 2:
- Spawn a Stryker MGS Platoon at marker "tankSpawn":
[getMarkerPos "tankSpawn", side player, (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "West" >> "BIS_US" >> "Armored" >> "US_MGSPlatoon")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; - Example 3:
- Spawn a TK Militia Medic and Soldier at aPos facing south:

- When using this function for making a dynamic AI spawn, pay attention to the fact that none of the created groups will be marked for auto-deletion when the group become empty (all members dead). It means that it can be very easy to hit the 144 (288 for A3) max groups per side limitation, implying that no more AI or group can be created afterwards. To avoid this issue on Arma 3, don't forget to use deleteGroupWhenEmpty command in your script.
