Usage

This function will take a provided group or select the closest player group within a set radius and actively hunt them down until one group is dead.

The defaults provided are quite performance friendly, but because the performance of this function doesn't scale well it is now locked to a maximum of 6 hunter groups at any one time.

Called from a trigger with a server check or initServer.sqf

Example:

if (isServer) then {
    [My_Enemy_Group] call TAC_Mission_fnc_hunt;
};

Example without defaults:

if (isServer) then {
    [My_Enemy_Group, 10, nil, 2000] call TAC_Mission_fnc_hunt;
};
