Write a way for the SoPop script to spawn vehicles

Potentially add a feature to the unit selection function, that allows to not include a certain tag.
An example, not wanting a class with the "unarmed" tag returned, with these 3 vehicle classes:

• {"attack","defense","unarmed"}
• {"attack","defense"}
• {"attack","defense"}

Current option:
Have more positive tags. So, add an "armed" tag, and then search for that one.

Potential option:
Potentially if one of the argument tags has a - (minus) in front of it, have it not be searched. This could be achieved at looking at each argument string, checking if the first letter is a - (I think select 0 with strings returns that), and if it is, change the join string _searchTypeTags apply {format ["'%1' in getArray (_x >> 'tags')",_x]}; to be a negative with !

The potential option would be quite some work... which I don't feel like right now. Easier to just have more positive tags for now.

Redo Operation Gorgon, but without using DMP, instead completely using my own scripts.

Make the Monsoon Campaign... yeah this is a long-term issue/goal.

Needs both vehicle spawning #17 and spawn budget #18 to be finished.

Have a proper spawn budget set up

Just have some readme files to remind me of what each folder even is, and also who knows, maybe if I share this for someone else.

Once #17 and #18 are done, properly expand the lists to feature a variety of units.

Vehicles:

• Tanks
• APCs
• Trucks
• Support Trucks
• Helicopters
• Drones

Infantry:

• Special Forces
• AA Team
• Sniper Team

In addition to tags, potentially have units be weighted within the database.

Although, weighting can be accomplished, before calling the function. Something like:
_tags = ["defense",selectRandomWeighted ["basic",5,"team",2,"officer",1]]; // ["defense","basic"] _selectedUnitFromTags = ["Infantry",_tags ,["EAST","tropical"] ] call fnc_SoPop_selectUnitFromTags;

Side Objectives that gives various boni, support, credits, etc.
