Spawn Group via Terminal

[exikutioner 10]

After extensive searching via google, I am finally resorting to the community. Is there a way to spawn in a group of enemy and have them move to a set waypoint via a terminal (laptop, sign post, etc)?

Heres a snip that worked for me for creating group at Marker named "Bor"

WestGrp01 = CreateGroup West;
_leader = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_AR", [(getMarkerPos "bor") select 0,(getMarkerPos "bor") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];

_unit = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_GL", [(getMarkerPos "bor") select 0,(getMarkerPos "bor") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_MG", [(getMarkerPos "bor") select 0,(getMarkerPos "bor") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_Medic", [(getMarkerPos "bor") select 0,(getMarkerPos "bor") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_GL", [(getMarkerPos "bor") select 0,(getMarkerPos "bor") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_leader = leader WestGrp01;
_newGrp = (group _leader);

As for adding waypoint maybe something like:

_wp = _newGrp addWaypoint [position player, 0]

Or for High Command over them:

player hcSetGroup [_newgrp];

Tried that, and did not work. This is what I put in as the EnTank.sqf:

EastGrp01 = CreateGroup East;
_leader = EastGrp01 createUnit ["T72_TK_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];

_unit = EastGrp01 createUnit ["T55_TK__EP1", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit = EastGrp01 createUnit ["M113_TK_EP1", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit = EastGrp01 createUnit ["T72_TK_Ep1", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_leader = leader EastGrp01;
_newGrp = (group _leader);

Trying to use InfoStand2 with this:

this addAction ["Live Enemy","EnTank.sqf"]; this enableSimulation false; this SetObjectTexture [0,"Live_Enemy.paa"];

What am I doing wrong?

Use Createvehicle for vehicles, createunit for AI:

Then use moveindriver, moveingunner, etc to put AI into the vehicle you create.

Something like this:

EnTank.sqf

WestGrp01 = CreateGroup West;
_leader1 = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_AR", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];

_unit1 = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_GL", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit2 = WestGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_MG", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_leader1 = leader WestGrp01;
_newGrp1 = (group _leader);

_tank1 = "T72_TK_Ep1" createVehicle [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0];
_leader1 moveInCommander _tank1;
_unit1 moveInDriver _tank1;
_unit2 moveInGunner _tank1;

_wp = _newGrp1 addWaypoint [getPos player, 0];

Ok, thanks for the help so far. Got this done, but still have an issue getting them to move to the waypoint:

//Create Men
EastGrp01 = CreateGroup East;
_leader1 = EastGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_AR", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];

_unit1 = EastGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_AR", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit2 = EastGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_AR", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit3 = EastGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_AR", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_unit4 = EastGrp01 createUnit ["GUE_Soldier_AR", [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0], [], 3, "FORM"];
_leader1 = leader EastGrp01;
_newGrp1 = (group _leader);

//Create Tanks
_tank1 = "T72_TK_Ep1" createVehicle [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0];
_leader1 assignAsDriver _tank1;
_leader1 moveInDriver _tank1;

_tank2 = "T72_TK_Ep1" createVehicle [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0];
_unit2 assignAsDriver _tank2;
_unit2 moveInDriver _tank2;

_tank3 = "M113_TK_EP1" createvehicle [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0];
_unit3 assignAsDriver _tank3;
_unit3 moveInDriver _tank3;

_tank4 = "T55_TK_EP1" createvehicle [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0];
_unit4 assignAsDriver _tank4;
_unit4 moveInDriver _tank4;

_tank5 = "T75_TK_Ep1" createVehicle [(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 0,(getMarkerPos "tank1") select 1,0];
_unit1 assignAsDriver _tank5;
_unit1 moveInDriver _tank5;

//WayPoint
_wp0 = _newGrp01 addwaypoint [getmarkerpos"WP1",0];
_wp0 setwaypointtype"Move";

_wp1 = _newGrp01 addwaypoint [getmarkerpos"WP2",0];
_wp1 setwaypointtype"Move";

Figured it out. Needed to have "_EastGrp01 createUnit" not "EastGrp01......"

I'd recommend looking at BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle and BIS_fnc_spawnGroup also. I think they are easier to understand.
