Help on setting damage to a createUnit ai.

[felipechapmanfromm 5]

_casSpawn = "B_RangeMaster_F" createUnit [_casPos, _casGroup];

So i have got the range master to spawn to the group civilian, I need to be able to use setDamage but i have nothing to assign the spawned range master to, there is no variable for the spawned ai, so I need your help to set damage and get a variable so I can also use other scripts on the spawned range master.

Do not use this syntax if you want to earn variable.

Use this instead:

_casSpawn = _casGroup createUnit ["B_RangeMaster_F",_casPos,[],0,"NONE"];

You can now damage him using the variable _casSpawn.

Use setPosASL:

_spawnPos set [2,0.1];
_unit setPosASL _spawnPos;

Where _spawnPos is the position where the unit spawns.

Using 0.1 will make sure the unit is above water.

How would I do this in terms of my variables, I've tried this but it doesn't work (or give any errors)

_casSpawn setPosASL (_casPos set [2,0.1]);

set doesn't return any value, mistake on my part, I fixed the snippet above, should work.
