**Units On GameLogics** by Snake Man

This was the very first script I put together, took a look Evolutions makeshilka function and adapted that. This will scan all **gameLogic**s named "**pmc_**?" where the **?** is a number digit ranging from **1** to **10** or more. Then if it finds a match, it runs the functions to create vehicle + soldiers in that gamelogic's grid coordinates position.

The whole point of this kind of method is that to create this mission, all you need to do is to place your unit/group and then what ever number of gamelogics. When you create gamelogic called "pmc" and then copy paste it around (CTRL-C and then CTRL-V) mission editor automatically creates the "pmc_1"... "pmc_2" and so on.

The vehicles come in random type, however soldiers are always the "basic squad" style.
