The Mission & Campaign Editor Manual isn't clear enough for me to understand how an army spawns using the ArmyPlace and DeplPlace Pos & Target values.

If an army has :

ArmyPlace / Pos : Point A coordinates (Xa ; Ya)

ArmyPlace / Target : Point B (Xb ; Yb)

DeplPlace / Pos : Point C (Xc ; Yc)

DeplPlace / Target : Point D (Xd ; Yd)

Where will it spawn ? At point C, isn't it ?

But which direction will it face ?

Thank you for your help !

Eh? Not sure what you mean here.....

Army 1 (You) spawns are defined by placeholders for initial deployment & for reinforcements where you place them.

Army N (i.e. any army other than player) units deploy right where you put them.

I'm studying the Mission and Campaign Editor Manual.mht , 7.3 : "adding spawn points".

I plan to build a MP mission in which the Army_1 will spawn at a random place.

Here is an image of the example : see

In the Mission Tree, I set the army as following :

ArmyPlace / Pos : Ger_Pos_0,

ArmyPlace / Target : Ger_Tar_0

In the Netspawn, I set 3 DeplPlaces : Ger_Pos_1, 2 and 3.

see

I performed several tests :

Army_1 correctly spawns in one of the three DeplPlaces.

I now want to understand what are ArmyPlace/Target and DeplPlace/Target for.

My tests shown that Army_1 faces a direction that depends on both its ArmyPlace/Target and DeplPlace/Target, but I wasn't able to see the rule, thats why I need some help with those coordinates in my previous post.
