How to get Town Locations

[1para{god-father} 105]

Can someone please let me know how I can get a list of all Town locations names, and select a random one ?

Basically i am trying to spawn some OPFOR into a random town, but did not want to place markers all over the map if i can already use Town markers.

Thanks

Perhaps try something like:

_towns = nearestLocations [getPosATL player, ["NameVillage","NameCity","NameCityCapital"], 25000];

_RandomTownPosition = position (_towns select (floor (random (count _towns))));

//optional also for more randomization:

_posX = (_RandomTownPosition select 0) + (random 200) - (random 200);
_posY = (_RandomTownPosition select 1) + (random 200) - (random 200);

_MoreRandomTownPosition = [_posX,_posY,0];

Hi everyone!

I want to use the names of existing (BIS) locations on the map, but I can not know what the "name of location."

I found only one example on this issue in the wiki: NameLocation = name myLocation;

What expression displays?

Thanks

This is an old thread but I had an additional question to it...

 

I'm trying to pull All Cities' name and location. But when I use the recommended code I get NameVillage, X,Y...instead of something like Georgetown, X,Y. I can't dynamically set all city and villages as a location the player can teleport to without the proper name to teleport them with.
