A location is a place in the map that is spawned/despawned under certain conditions.
Each location is represented by a string (e.g. _location = "FIA_HQ";)
and has a type (e.g. "base", "resource"). Each location "owns" a hidden marker
that is used to represent its position.
This API uses the dictionary API to store data persistently and globally.
All properties of a location are defined in fnc_properties (they depend on the location type)
that can be accessed either using fnc_[property] for common properties or fnc_get (any property).
Likewise, locations' properties can be modified using fnc_set, locations can be added using fnc_add
and removed using fnc_remove.
There are common iterators for locations that are already defined:
call AS_location_fnc_all
// [T]ype and [S]ide
_bases = "base" call AS_location_fnc_T;
_FIAlocations = "FIA" call AS_location_fnc_S;
_FIAbases = ["base","AAF"] call AS_location_fnc_TS;
[["base","airfield"],"FIA"] call AS_location_fnc_TS;
AS_spawn_fnc_update.sqf is the function that controls which locations are spawned.
When opposing forces reach (or other conditions), this loop spawns the location using
the spawn API.
The spawns for each type of location is defined in spawns.
