Fixed Vehicle Spawns

[Michael Cullen 10]

I discovered yesterday that the default vehicle spawn script has a couple of bugs in it. It's not too much of a problem with island maps, but on maps with land in the debug area, it's a bit of a nightmare; vehicles end up spawning outside of the map, needlessly eating performance and just generally looking extremely messy

So, I fixed it up. Replace your ExileServer_world_spawnVehicles.sqf with the following code.

Hello.

If I wanted to add more vehicles (eg. M900, Hemit Transport etc) and increase nr of spawn vehicles on the map, would I do that in here? or elsewhere?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks this works Great for Takistan Map!.

Go in the Exileserver config and search for Vehicles spawn.  you can edit this
