Galzohar: In multiplayer, only run this command on one machine. It will create a the vehicle on all machines every time it is called on any machine.; Posted on August 13, 2006 - 12:18
raedor: This command sets the created vehicle not exactly at the given position, you have to setPos it there, if accuracy counts.; Posted on Jan 20, 2006
bdfy: This command sets the created vehicle in the nearest _possible_ position. You can create a dozen of tanks with it - they will appear side by side.; Posted on December 13, 2006 - 12:27
Salisan: Observe that buildings with the default destrType will not work correctly in multiplayer in Armed Assault when created with this command. The Destruction effect will only be displayed where the building is local.; Posted on Oct 18, 2009 - 05:42
Canukausiuka: As of Arma2, this command cannot be used to create game logics (source). Use createUnit instead.
