How to randomise placement

[Kula66]

In small missions is there an easy way of randomising the placement of each vehicle in a group, so give a vehicle 4 possible start positions and say 10/10/10/70 chance of being placed in them .... This would be neat as after playing a mission a few times, you kind of know where the key AAA unit are placed and this would add to the replayability!

 

If this is not possible, can I do this for each group and have one unit per group?

Thanks mwd2,

I was hoping for a quick solution for such a simple problem - without resorting to script.

Here is a (slightly :)) more user friendly way of getting some randomness into your missions.

Basically, you use triggers and flags to spawn certain groups that you've placed in the ME.

Many thanks Smokey, I'll have a look at that.
