Generating units...

[IronSight94 10]

I have been using mrmurray's ArmA 1 editing guide and it works but I have a problem. I want to generate some enemies in a town after a helicopter insertion. I can get the unit to generate with this code:

"MOL_Rifleman" createUnit [position player, S1, "Name1=this",0.7,"Corporal"]

But they generate on my location. How do I get them to generate in the town?

That's because you have it set to spawn on the players location.

Create an empty>object>H (invisible) and name it "enemyspawn". Place this where you want the enemy to spawn.

Then use the following instead.

"MOL_Rifleman" createUnit [position enemyspawn, S1, "Name1=this",0.7,"Corporal"]

Still doesn't seem to work. I have it set up so that once the player reaches a waypoint the enemy spawns. I get to the waypoint and nothing happens.

Markers don't exists as variables in the usual meaning. You have to do it like this:

"MOL_Rifleman" createUnit [getMarkerPos "enemyspawn", S1, "Name1=this",0.7,"Corporal"]

Or is empty>object>H (invisible) not a marker?

H is the helipad, an object.
