* _waypointTimeoutCounters -> Array.  Timeout counters. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mission_Editor:_Waypoints#Timeout_Counters
* _waypointFormation -> String. Formation type. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mission_Editor:_Waypoints#Formation
* _waypointCombatMode -> String. Combat mode. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mission_Editor:_Waypoints#Combat_Mode

* _waypointDescription -> String. Description. http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Mission_Editor:_Waypoints#Description
* 
*
* Usage:
*
* init.sqf:
* ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup = compile (preprocessFileLineNumbers "fnc_spawnProfileGroup.sqf");
*
* Create a trigger or call in script:
*
* Syntax:
* [array, boolean, array, string, string, boolean, scalar, string, string, scalar, array, string, string, string, string] call ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup;
*
* Example(s):
* [getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_spawn_pos", false, getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_dest_pos", "10_men_ME", "caf_ag_me"] call ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup;
* [getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_spawn_pos", false, getMarkerPos "nmeGrp01_dest_pos", "10_men_ME", "caf_ag_me", 
  true, 0, "Move", "Full", 0, [0,0,0], "Delta", "Open Fire, Engage At Will", "Aware", ""] call ALIVE_spawnProfileGroup;

//Will be true if there are virutalized AI groups of side EAST (string) within 50 mtrs of the triggers position EAST (string)
((count ([getposATL thisTrigger, 50, ["EAST","entity"]] call ALIVE_fnc_getNearProfiles)) > 0);
 
//Will be true if there are virutalized vehicles of side EAST (string) within 500 mtrs of trigger position EAST (string)
((count ([getposATL thisTrigger, 500, ["EAST","vehicle"]] call ALIVE_fnc_getNearProfiles)) > 0);
 
Example:
Place this line of code in the condition field of an end mission (f.e. lose) trigger, optionally with timeout.
It will fire when there are virtualized groups in the selected area (for a certain amount of time).
It doesnt matter if they are spawned or not.
 
== Add a Custom OPCOM Object ==
 
//will register a position as an objective to all OPCOMs in the current mission
if (isServer) then {
	{
		[_x,"addObjective",	[
								str(time),		//ID (string)
								getposATL thisTrigger,	//position
								100,			//size
								"MIL"			//type
					]
		] call ALiVE_fnc_OPCOM;
	} foreach OPCOM_INSTANCES;
};
 
Example:
Place these lines of code (without the comments) in the on activation field of a "detected by..."-trigger (500mtrs radius).
As the trigger fires your base will be registered to all OPCOMs, who will then send troops there (either to attack or defend)
 
//Will wait until the persistent data of a player has been loaded (place in init.sqf f.e.)
waituntil {(player getvariable ["alive_sys_player_playerloaded",false])};
 
Example:
Use this in init.sqf if you have a player-depended scripts and use "player persistence";
 
///////////
You can use these in combination with triggers and tasks.
For example if you are detected by a trigger within a certain radius of your base, your base will be registered to OPCOM!
OPCOMs will send their troops there and if you dont manage to defend your base the mission will fail.
