:play_button: ISSUE EXPERIENCED

:backhand_index_pointing_down: DESCRIBE THE ISSUE IN DETAIL (below). LIMIT TO ONE BUG PER THREAD.

When calling xsCreateUnit(.., pos, ..) with a position vector pos that was defined earlier in the function, the unit spawns somewhere other than pos if there is other, completely unrelated code in between (such as printing a string literal).

It seems to be about reading from the wrong memory address, because printing pos afterwards shows correct values.

Other arguments to xsCreateUnit also have issues: xsCreateUnit parses bool arguments incorrectly [Mac only]
