Point of presence for several objects?

[fasterthanlight 10]

How would I go about making a vehicle spawn with objects around it in a random area.

For instance. I want an M1 to spawn in an area. I can tell the POP 50 and it will give me a radius that it will spawn each time. How do I make a fortification spawn WITH the tank in a random 50 meter area?

try condition of presence of your fortification with alive tank instead of true.

Can't give you an area, but here is a radius and random direction :D (red is radius, change as you please)

As .sqf:

_center = "tankhere"; //marker
_tank = "tankname";
_fort = "fortname";
_dir = random 359;

_tank setPos (getMarkerPos _center)[color="SeaGreen"](_dir)[/color]; // Put tank at desired position

_fort setPos [(getPos _tank select 0)-[color="Red"]25[/color]*sin(_dir),(getPos _tank select 1)-[color="Red"]25[/color]*cos(_dir)]; // put fortification within 25m radius of tank, facing same direction

Not tested, but should work. The only part that may not work is the green, if it doesn't you'll get an error, just remove it from the script.

Edit: Oh. You wanted to SPAWN the tank there. Well this will move the pre-created tank and fort there. :P Gotta drive my brother to a friends house, then I'll fix it up for ya.

Edit2: This will spawn the tank and fort. Fill in the classnames.

_center = "tankhere"; //marker
_fort = "fortname";
_dir = random 359;

_spawntank = "m1a1classname" createVehicle (getMarkerPos _center)[color="SeaGreen"](_dir)[/color]; // Put tank at desired position

_spawnfort = "fortclassname" createVehicle [(getPos _spawntank select 0)-[color="Red"]25[/color]*sin(_dir),(getPos _spawntank select 1)-[color="Red"]25[/color]*cos(_dir)]; // put fortification within 25m radius of tank, facing same direction

Again, not tested.
