BIS_fnc_spawnGroup not working from Debug Console?

[thecoolsideofthepillow 22]

Whilst testing ideas to try and create markers randomly, I was trying to use BIS_fnc_spawnGroup to just place a single unit instead of a trigger; just to see if I have the correct method to get the positions I need.

 

What I found, however, was that the spawngroup function itself is not working, even when I just copy and paste the examples from the BIKI ([getMarkerPos "Marker", EAST, 5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup OR _grp = [getMarkerPos "Marker", EAST, 5] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup). It simply will not create any units.

 

 Just to make sure it wasn't from not having a center or from using it in the debug console, I also tried using createCenter as well as going back into the editor and placing down 1 unit of each side and also tried from the init line of the player's unit. Still nada.

 

EDIT: It seems I have to use the config method (_group1 = [getPos player, side player, (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> "West" >> "BLU_F" >> "Infantry" >> "BUS_InfSquad")] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;) and I had to restart the game for even that to work. Maybe it just didn't load the function/configs properly (been happening a lot where weapons show up in the incorrect place, like handguns being used as primary weapons).

did you try using spawn instead of call?
