Description:
This script takes editor-based groups and respawns them when the group is eliminated
The group's waypoints are saved
The group's loadouts are saved
Multiple respawn positions are available
Spawning can be synchronized with a trigger to create groups when needed
The number of respawns can be set, or it can respawn infinitely
The respawn delay can be a fixed number or a range
A pause radius is available so groups don't spawn on top of other units
An exit trigger can be used to exit the script early
Integrated GAIA support

A custom init string can be used to run your favourite patrol script, attack script, gear script, etc.
Units are added to Zeus automatically
Use it for ambient combat, waves of attackers, random patrols or whatever else you think of.....

Installation / Usage:
1. Copy the jebus folder into your mission folder
2. Copy description.ext into your mission folder (or merge description.ext with yours)
3. Place a group in the editor 
4. Call the script in the initialization box of the leader or group (examples given below)
5. Option: Synchronize a trigger with the group leader. The group will not spawn until the trigger is activated

Installing to a sub-folder
1. Copy the jebus folder into your mission sub-folder (eg scripts)
2. Copy description.ext into your mission folder (or merge description.ext with yours)
3. Edit description.ext to point to sub-folder (eg #include "scripts\jebus\cfgFunctions.hpp")
4. Proceed as normal

				  Default is 30 seconds
"CACHE="			= Group will cache until players are within "CACHE=" metres
				  Default is no caching
"REDUCE="			= Group will cache until players are within "REDUCE=" metres

"PAUSE="			= Radius in which enemies will pause the spawner. Default is 0.
"EXIT="				= Name of exit trigger

Examples:

0 = [this] spawn jebus_fnc_main;
