bis_fnc_taskPatrol Not working ?

[1para{god-father} 105]

Having a little issue getting bis_fnc_taskPatrol to work , the plane just fly's to the bottom left of the map, not sure why ?

veh1 is a vehicle on the map and it does exits as I see the marker fine

_vehicleambush=veh1;

_ambush1 = createmarker ["ambush1",getpos _vehicleambush];
_ambush1 setmarkershape "ELLIPSE";
_ambush1 setmarkersize [220,220];
_ambush1 setMarkerColor "ColorRed";

_airSpawn1 = [[(_pos) select 0, (_pos select 1)- 30, 200], 0, "Su25_TK_EP1", EAST] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
[_airSpawn1, getPos _vehicleambush, 1000] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;

Have you tried replacing "_airSpawn1" by "group _airSpawn1" ?

[1para{god-father} 105]

I then get

Error in expression <EP1", EAST] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
[group _airSpawn1, getPos _vehicleambush,>
 Error position: <group _airSpawn1, getPos _vehicleambush,>
 Error group: Type Array, expected Object

Strange error messages...have you tried with an infantry unit to see what happens ?

error is this in bis_fnc_spawnVehicle

Array - 0: created vehicle (Object), 1: all crew (Array of Objects), 2: vehicle's group (Group)

do like this... though i encountered a issue with patch 1.60 and betas that didnt let bradleys or tusks run the BIS_fnc_taskPatrol correctly, maybe same for planes, i have a modified taskPatrol if needed that fixed it..

_airSpawn1 = [[(_pos) select 0, (_pos select 1)- 30, 200], 0, "Su25_TK_EP1", EAST] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;
[[b](_airSpawn1 select 2)[/b], getPos _vehicleambush, 1000] call bis_fnc_taskPatrol;

edit, if issue still, try this modified bis_fnc_taskPatrol from my engageTowns.sqf

_BIS_fnc_taskPatrol_mod = {
// BIS_fnc_taskPatrol modified by Demonized to fix some vehicle bugs not moving when speed or beheaviour was not defined for each wp.
_grp = _this select 0;
_pos = _this select 1;
_maxDist = _this select 2;

for "_i" from 0 to (2 + (floor (random 3))) do {
	_newPos = [_pos, 50, _maxDist, 1, 0, 60 * (pi / 180), 0, []] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;
	_wp = _grp addWaypoint [_newPos, 0];
	_wp setWaypointType "MOVE";
	_wp setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
	_wp setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
	_wp setWaypointFormation "STAG COLUMN";
	_wp setWaypointCompletionRadius 20;
};

_wp = _grp addWaypoint [_pos, 0];
_wp setWaypointType "CYCLE";
_wp setWaypointCompletionRadius 20;
true
};

and you run it same way:

_patrol = [_grp, (getMarkerPos _marker), 200] call _BIS_fnc_taskPatrol_mod;  // bug fix for some vehicles, using function at top of script.
