random spawn Marker randomly spawned at one of several predetermined possitions

Hi

I want an area marker to randomly spawn at one of several  predetermined positions. I know that for objects i can place an object and few markers, connect them and then the object will randomly spawn at one of the marker possition. 

I tired to do the same but with area marker 350x400, but it doesnt seem to work. i get the "Random start" option, but when i try to connect it with the random start markers, i cant.

Works for me, in vanilla.

What markers do you use for the spawn locations? The empty ones?

Use an invisible object like the helipad and then in the init of the object, use some code to set the marker position to the position of the object.

You might be able to use selectRandom
something like
_marker setMarkerPos selectRandom [pos1, pos2, etc..];

unsure though, been out of it for a while :p

That doesn't matter. Any of them (empty or else, even ellipse)

I tried it and it doesnt work. You cant use the "random start" option with markers. tested in both wanila and moded.

When i place object, like soldier or car, and then "random start" sinchronise it with markers, it works the sinchronise lines appear. but when i try to "random start" sinchronise marker with markers, nothing happends.

// For example, we have in our mission:
// - marker we want to shift, named MyMarker
// - number of markers with predefined positions named SpawnLocation_01, SpawnLocation_02, ..., SpawnLocation_XX

// Execute somewhere after mission initialization:
"MyMarker" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos selectRandom (allMapMarkers select { _x find "SpawnLocation_" == 0});

Thanks that should do the trick.

I didn't catch you are trying to sync marker with markers!
