I am creating a dynamic survival mission in which I need a random amount of AI infantry and vehicles (around 60-70 units). I want these units to spawn during the game, off a trigger or a script. I want these AI too patrol around a marker or area. I would be grateful in you could recommend any scripts or script packs for me to use.
I've been using the militarize.sqf from the "AI spawn pack" by spunFIN located here
I've been able to get this script running like a charm in singleplayer and locally hosted servers, but on my clan's dedicated server the AI doesn't spawn. I'm not sure if I'm just not running the script correctly or weather it just doesn't work on a dedicated server.


thanks for any help

Updated it a bit. Simpler to use.

worked like a charm, wrote this to have it randomly spawn the groups at a marker (aispawn) that teleports around another marker (wp) 

[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];

 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"aispawn", 500] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
 "aispawn" setMarkerPos [(getMarkerPos "wp" select 0)-(random -1000)*sin(random 359),(getMarkerPos "wp" select 1)-(random -1000)*cos(random 359)];
sleep 1;
[EAST,"wp", 100] call TAG_Grp_Spawn;
it spawns 18 groups within a 1000 radius of marker wp. I also edited the grpspawn scripts so that a only 3 mech groups could spawn and only 5 motorised groups.
