Lucky44: Just so no one forgets: you need to put a Functions Module on the map for this function to work.

nte: If there is no enemy on the map, it will spawn as empty.

Homer Johnston: Clarifying the above, you either need to use createCenter to create a side, or place a unit of the desired side on the map, otherwise the vehicle spawns empty.
