i want to place Units in game, like Biters. Wrote a mod for this, but they are friendly. Want them to be enemies. But how? Cant get it.

How did you even do that? By default created entities belong to "enemy" force.
Among the parameters to create-entity there is an argument "force", you can specify it.

I just used "place_result = unit[name]" in the "type = item". Yes, easy. Too easy.
And the "force = enemy" placed in the "type = unit", does nothing.
So, think you re right, i have to use more lua code. But i hoped for a more easy way.

i just want to spawn some enemies around me or somewhere, at begin of a game, just to see how it works. What do i have to do?

spawn_enemy(name, surf, pos)

ok, that sounds good, but how can i set the "pos", and what want that "surf"?
