Dynamic Spawning Script Debugging

[Haymaker 13]

                // Determine nearestBuilding
                _nearestBuilding = nearestBuilding _position; 
                
                // Create the warlord group
                _group = createGroup East;
				
				// Issue occurs somewhere within the nested if
                if (player distance _position > 400) then{

                    // Determine whether to spawn station in a building or outside
                    if (_nearestBuilding distance _position < 400) then {
                    
                        // Spawn a station in the nearestBuilding
                        _spawnFlag = createVehicle [_flag, _nearestBuilding buildingPos 1, [], 0, "NONE"];
                                                                  
                        // Spawn a cache in the nearestBuilding
                        _spawnCache = createVehicle [_cache, _nearestBuilding buildingPos 1, [], 0, "NONE"];
                                                                  
                    } else {
                                                                  
                        _cache = "CUP_TKVehicleBox_EP1";
                        _spawnflag = createVehicle [_flag, _position, [], 0, "NONE"];
                        _spawncache = createVehicle [_cache, _position, [], 0, "NONE"];
                        _spawntent = createVehicle ["Land_TentA_F", _position, [], 0, "NONE"];
                                                                  
                    };
                                                                  
                    _spawnVehicleStation = createVehicle [_vehicleStation, _position, [], 0, "NONE"];
                    _warlord createUnit [_position, _group];
                };

No I did not include the entire script because it isn't necessary, the problem that is occurring is occurring somewhere within this excerpt - so assume all undeclared variables have been declared.

 

So I've been working on some dynamic spawning scripts for some insurgent objects. I added a nested if to determine whether to spawn some of the assets inside a building or outside. Now this works about half of the time, the other half of the time it only spawns "_warlord" and "_vehicleStation" in the location, and throws "_cache" and "_flag" to the origin. I'm assuming that this could be because it doesn't recognize certain buildings as enterable with positions, in which case I will just have to prepare an array of buildings to look for. 

 

Any help or opinions are much appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, probably you should test:

if ((nearestBuilding player buildingPos -1) isEqualTo []) then { do something else}// or exitWith {} ;
