Move respawn marker impossible

[kibaBG 53]

I am trying to move respawn marker (called "respawn_east") on random position on the map. It does not move anywhere no matter what I try. 
 

private _rpos = [] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
_rpos = _rpos resize 1;
"respawn_east" setMarkerPos _rpos;

This does not work at all, no errors ...

"respawn_east" setMarkerPos _rpos;          // setMarkerPos nil

But BIS_fnc_randomPos should return a random position using the whole map, right? 

I think I manage to complete what I wanted. Instead of a respawn marker I used respawn module named "respawn_east", it moves around the map without a problem. I place this in its init and player respawn on start. 

_rpos = [] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
this setPosATL _rpos;

Why the same named marker does not move is a mystery.

Correct, thats why i wrote [ #, #, # ] position 3D, but you then resize the array to one indice so it would now be just [ # ], but you also overwrite _rpos with the return from resize but resize does not return anything so _rpos is nil.

My "genius" idea was to resize the position array to only first two elements.

Try these from the debug console...

private _rpos = [] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
_rpos;
//[  #, #, # ]

private _rpos = [] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
_rpos resize 1;
_rpos;
// [ # ]

private _rpos = [] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
_rpos = _rpos resize 1;
isNil "_rpos";
// true

You are right, the correct should be 
 

private _rpos = [] call BIS_fnc_randomPos;
_rpos resize 2;
_rpos;

It returns the position array in 2D format. If not you I would never guessed where is the error, thanks!
