Random Spawn

[Antorugby 2]

Hello guys, I'm trying to make a script for a multiplayer mission that will randomly spawn the players inside an area, I'm using SHK_pos, so this is the script and it seems to work just fine:

call compile preprocessfile "SHK_pos\shk_pos_init.sqf";
_newpos = ["mrkGreen",0,["mrkRed","mrkYellow"]] call SHK_pos;
player setposATL _newpos;

Now it begins the difficult part, I want the possibility that someone will spawn with another player so I was thinking about this:

if ( random 1 < 0.70 ) then {
call compile preprocessfile "SHK_pos\shk_pos_init.sqf";
_newpos = ["mrkGreen",0,["mrkRed","mrkYellow"]] call SHK_pos;
player setposATL _newpos;
} else {
call compile preprocessfile "SHK_pos\shk_pos_init.sqf";
posgroup = ["mrkGreen",0,["mrkRed","mrkYellow"]] call SHK_pos;
player setposATL posgroup;
};

I haven't tested it but this shouldn't work because every player that execute the init will create a different "posgroup" right?

What is the right way to do it? If I use "if (isServer)" the script will run only one time and the "posgroup" will be global for everyone?

I'm a noob scripting for multiplayer so I'm sorry if asked something dumb, thank you!

What i do is just make a whole mess of markers and put them in an array and select them at random

Could always borrow the ideas behind BTC's Mobile HQ script and modify it a bit. A marker in the center point of your area, X and Y values of your marker plus randomly calculated numbers and a Z value for elevation at the end. Just increase the numbers (25) for longer distances. Just an idea, hope it gets the brain juices flowing.

_pos = getMarkerPos "mkr1";

player setPos [(_pos select 0) + ((random 25) - (random 25)), (_pos select 1) + ((random 25) - (random 25)), 0];

Yeah that's probably what I'll do because it seems the only way.

I got the random spawn already working, what I want to achieve is the possibility that someone can spawn with another player.
