Random position random unit AI respawn script

Hi guys, I've been poking around here and redit for a few days trying to find snips of code I can combine and use to revive/respawn/replace some ai in a mp scenario. 

 

What I have: I have a training course with 25 OPFOR AI, and 11 Civ Ai. 36 position markers oriented in the direction I want the unit to face.  

 

What I need: I want to have the OPFOR (all the same exact unit) respawn at random position markers as well as civi to respawn at random position markers. I want to the units to retain the code I have in the init field in eden. The civies can be random or all the same unit not a big deal to me. 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated! 

 

Edit:

 

I'm kind of brute forcing it at this point and I know I'm doing it wrong...… here's the code I'm working with. I need a way to select one of the positions at random, use it to spawn an ai unit then exclude that used position from the next spawn sequence.

Update; I've gotten a working script that is performing well and I'm happy with how it functions, however I would like to have each AI that is spawned stay in its place, being able to aim and change stance is preferred. Any help is appreciated my code is below

Most comfortable way would be to grab all map markers with a certain keyword, "shai" in your case: 

_markers = allMapMarkers select {toUpper _x find "SHAI" >= 0};
_side = east;
_myunitarray = ["C_Scientist_F","C_man_utilityworker_01_F","C_Journalist_01_war_F","C_Man_p_beggar_F","C_Scientist_F","C_man_utilityworker_01_F","C_Journalist_01_war_F","C_Man_p_beggar_F","C_Man_Polo_1_F","C_Man_Casual_1_F","C_Man_Shorts_1_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F"];
_spawnedGroups = [];

{
	_grp = [getmarkerpos _x, _side, [selectRandom _myunitarray],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_Fnc_spawnGroup;
	_spawnedGroups pushBack _grp;//in case you want to access all spawned groups
	{_x disableAI "PATH"} forEach units _grp;
} forEach _markers;
_spawnedGroups

This will look for all markers containing "shai" (not case sensitive), so you can easily copy paste more markers without having to rename a single one.

Then a random unit will be spawned on each marker, disabling AI path, so the unit will stay put while still able to turn around, change stance and fire at enemies.

Wow, Thank you so much this is working like a charm! Exactly what I was looking for, this will allow me to add more markers easily how very exciting!

So I took that code and modified it to spawn a vehicle convoy and have them proceed to a waypoint, however using the following code the vehicles spawn outside of a group and of course do not pay attention to each other nor the formation command , Its like Mad Max out there lol.

Any help appreciated!

 

Spoiler

_markers = allMapMarkers select {toUpper _x find "CONVOY" >= 0};
_side = east;
_myunitarray = ["CUP_O_BMP_HQ_CSAT","O_APC_WHEELED_02_RCWS_V2_F","O_TRUCK_03_FUEL_F","O_TRUCK_03_AMMO_F","O_APC_TRACKED_02_CANNON_F","O_MBT_02_CANNON_F","O_MBT_04_CANNON_F"];
_spawnedGroups = [];

{
 _grp = [getmarkerpos _x, _side, [selectRandom _myunitarray],[],[],[],[],[],90] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
 _spawnedGroups pushBack _grp;//in case you want to access all spawned groups
  {
   [_grp, getMarkerPos "OCCUPY"] call bis_fnc_taskAttack;
   [_grp, 1] setWaypointSpeed "LIMITED";
   [_grp, 1] setWaypointCombatMode "WHITE";
   [_grp, 1] setWaypointBehaviour "SAFE";
   [_grp, 1] setWaypointFormation "COLUMN";
   } forEach units _grp;
} forEach _markers;
_spawnedGroups

_markers = allMapMarkers select {toUpper _x find "SHAI" >= 0};
_side = east;
_myunitarray = ["C_Scientist_F","C_man_utilityworker_01_F","C_Journalist_01_war_F","C_Man_p_beggar_F","C_Scientist_F","C_man_utilityworker_01_F","C_Journalist_01_war_F","C_Man_p_beggar_F","C_Man_Polo_1_F","C_Man_Casual_1_F","C_Man_Shorts_1_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F","O_Soldier_F"];
_spawnedGroups = [];

{
	_grp = [getmarkerpos _x, _side, [selectRandom _myunitarray],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_Fnc_spawnGroup;
	_spawnedGroups pushBack _grp;//in case you want to access all spawned groups
	{_x disableAI "PATH"} forEach units _grp;
} forEach _markers;
_spawnedGroups

This will look for all markers containing "shai" (not case sensitive), so you can easily copy paste more markers without having to rename a single one.

Then a random unit will be spawned on each marker, disabling AI path, so the unit will stay put while still able to turn around, change stance and fire at enemies.

 I know this is 5 years old but since it is pinned in the AI Compilation, the post should at least be helpful and work but it does not. I get a code "Error, invalid number in expression"

How do you use it? Do you have markers named with "SHAI" embedded string like "xxxSHAIyyy" ? Did you remove the comment? (depending on where you are using it)

Working and helpful doesn't mean rewrite all fundamentals each time. Asking for help should at least come alongside a minimum context.
