-- A spawn object will behave differently based on the usage of **initialization** methods, which all start with the **Init** prefix:
--
-- ### Unit Names
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitKeepUnitNames}(): Keeps the unit names as defined within the mission editor, but note that anything after a # mark is ignored, and any spaces before and after the resulting name are removed. IMPORTANT! This method MUST be the first used after :New !!!
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitLimit}(): Limits the amount of groups that can be alive at the same time and that can be dynamically spawned.
--
-- ### Route randomization
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeRoute}(): Randomize the routes of spawned groups, and for air groups also optionally the height.
--
-- ### Group composition randomization
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeTemplate}(): Randomize the group templates so that when a new group is spawned, a random group template is selected from one of the templates defined.
--
-- ### Uncontrolled
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitUnControlled}(): Spawn plane groups uncontrolled.
--
-- ### Array formation
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitArray}(): Make groups visible before they are actually activated, and order these groups like a batallion in an array.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRepeat}(): Re-spawn groups when they land at the home base. Similar methods are @{#SPAWN.InitRepeatOnLanding} and @{#SPAWN.InitRepeatOnEngineShutDown}.
--
-- ### Position randomization
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizePosition}(): Randomizes the position of @{Group}s that are spawned within a **radius band**, given an Outer and Inner radius, from the point that the spawn happens.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeUnits}(): Randomizes the @{Unit}s in the @{Group} that is spawned within a **radius band**, given an Outer and Inner radius.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRandomizeZones}(): Randomizes the spawning between a predefined list of @{Zone}s that are declared using this function. Each zone can be given a probability factor.
--
-- ### Enable / Disable AI when spawning a new @{Group}
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitAIOn}(): Turns the AI On when spawning the new @{Group} object.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitAIOff}(): Turns the AI Off when spawning the new @{Group} object.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitAIOnOff}(): Turns the AI On or Off when spawning the new @{Group} object.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOnOff}(): Turns the inital delay On/Off when spawning the first @{Group} object.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOn}(): Turns the inital delay On when spawning the first @{Group} object.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOff}(): Turns the inital delay On when spawning the first @{Group} object.
--
-- ### Limit scheduled spawning
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitLimit}(): Limits the amount of groups that can be alive at the same time and that can be dynamically spawned.
--
-- ### Delay initial scheduled spawn
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOnOff}(): Turns the inital delay On/Off when scheduled spawning the first @{Group} object.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOn}(): Turns the inital delay On when scheduled spawning the first @{Group} object.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitDelayOff}(): Turns the inital delay Off when scheduled spawning the first @{Group} object.
--
-- ### Repeat spawned @{Group}s upon landing
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRepeat}() or @{#SPAWN.InitRepeatOnLanding}(): This method is used to re-spawn automatically the same group after it has landed.
-- * @{#SPAWN.InitRepeatOnEngineShutDown}(): This method is used to re-spawn automatically the same group after it has landed and it shuts down the engines at the ramp.
--
--
-- ## SPAWN **Spawn** methods
--
-- Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:
--
-- ### **Single** spawning methods
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.Spawn}(): Spawn one new group based on the last spawned index.
-- * @{#SPAWN.ReSpawn}(): Re-spawn a group based on a given index.
-- * @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduled}(): Spawn groups at scheduled but randomized intervals. You can use @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStart}() and @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduleStop}() to start and stop the schedule respectively.
-- * @{#SPAWN.SpawnFromVec3}(): Spawn a new group from a Vec3 coordinate. (The group will can be spawned at a point in the air).
-- * @{#SPAWN.SpawnFromVec2}(): Spawn a new group from a Vec2 coordinate. (The group will be spawned at land height ).
-- * @{#SPAWN.SpawnFromStatic}(): Spawn a new group from a structure, taking the position of a @{Static}.

-- Note that @{#SPAWN.Spawn} and @{#SPAWN.ReSpawn} return a @{GROUP#GROUP.New} object, that contains a reference to the DCSGroup object.
-- You can use the @{GROUP} object to do further actions with the DCSGroup.
--
-- ### **Scheduled** spawning methods
--
-- * @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduled}(): Spawn groups at scheduled but randomized intervals.
-- * @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduledStart}(): Start or continue to spawn groups at scheduled time intervals.
-- * @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduledStop}(): Stop the spawning of groups at scheduled time intervals.

-- As a result, your spawn event handling function requires one parameter to be declared, which will contain the spawned @{Group} object.

-- ## Delay the initial spawning
--
-- When using the @{#SPAWN.SpawnScheduled)() method, the default behaviour of this method will be that it will spawn the initial (first) @{Group}
