CreateUnit damn you!!!

[merby1]

Hey, sorry for the amazingly stupid question but...
I've refered to the comm ref and the tutorials about spawning units but cannot get the damn thing to create.
I've tried inserting marker: "rus1"
_chaser1 = "JAM_EBOfficer" createVehicle getmarkerpos "rus1"
and
"JAM_EBOfficer" createUnit [getmarkerpos "rus1"]

but i still cant find him.
Can u create units in your cut scenes?
Sorry I have no idea why this isnt working.

From the comref: CreateUnit

type createUnit unitInfo

"Format of unitInfo is: [pos (Position),group (Group), init (String), skill (Number), rank (String)] Note: init, skill, and rank are optional"

The Group parameter MUST be an existing group or the unit won't be created.

To create a unit, you must first have a reference to an existing group. You cannot create new groups; this group must already exist at the beginning of this mission.

The easiest way to do this is to place a soldier in the editor, probability of presence = 0, and in his init field put something like "Spawn_group = group this"

In your script put

"JAM_EBOfficer" createUnit [getmarkerpos "rus1", Spawn_group ]

createVehicle is a badly worded command.   Although in OFP "vehicle" usually includes soldiers, in this case it does not.    Use this command if you want to create an empty tank, car, etc. somewhere.

Use camCreate if you want to create an object such as a table.

Use createUnit if you want to create a soldier.
