Help with using BIS_fnc_spawnGroup

[thdman1511 4]

after reading posts from a few sections of the forum it was suggest to use BIS_fnc_spawnGroup to dynamic spawning. After researching it on BI Wiki, I tested it out using a trigger only wanting to spawn 5 units at a Marker Position.

I set up the trigger to detect when enemy are spotted near a military camp, and in the ON activation I used the following code:

[getMarkPos "Start1",west,5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; However no group were spawn.

What I am trying to set up was a fire team on watch at the nearby light house near Jay Cove, and once they detected enemy forces approaching the military camp there, I siren would sound and a group of soldiers would spawn at the markers called Start1 inside the camp.

am I using the function proper and could someone explain this function in easy terms so that I can use it correctly when designing my mission.

To make it easier to track your group by script later on, add the part in red.

To get the correct marker position you need the part in blue (Possibly a typo on your end)
