Randomise number Aigroup planes

[salmo]

RANDOM NUMBER OF AI AIRGROUP PLANES

Purpose:
Randomises the number of Ai aircraft in an airgroup each time they spawn.

How does it work?
(1) Rename this script the same as your mission file name.
(2) In FMB, place a Static/environment/Banner Marker - x red object (the red cross) anywhere on an airfield, or close to an airspawn point, where you want to randomise Ai airgroup numbers.
(3) Red crosses are removed from the mission when the battle starts.
(4) Any Ai airgroup that spawn within 1km of where a red cross was placed will spawn with a random number of aircraft. Number of aircraft vary from 2 (minimum) up to the number that you specified in the FMB group properties (maximum).
(5) The number of aircraft in the airgroup will vary every time the group spawns.
(6) Does not affect number of ai aircraft that spawn where there is not a red-cross placed.
