TLDR:

_sidePositions = missionnamespace getvariable [_varName + str (_target call bis_fnc_objectSide),_default];
=>
_sidePositions = missionnamespace getvariable [_varName + str (side _target),_default];
Description: Return scripted respawn positions available for the given unit Parameter(s): 0: OBJECT, GROUP, SIDE or NAMESPACE 1 (Optional): BOOL - false to return positions, true to their names (default: false) NUMBER - 1 to return positions, 2 to return their names, 3 to return show info
_target = _this param [0,player,[objnull,grpnull,sideunknown,missionnamespace]]; ... switch (typename _target) do { case (typename objnull): { _objectPositions = if (isnull _target) then {_default} else {_target getvariable [_varName,_default]}; _groupPositions = if (isnull group _target) then {_default} else {(group _target) getvariable [_varName,_default]}; _sidePositions = missionnamespace getvariable [_varName + str (_target call bis_fnc_objectSide),_default]; }; case (typename grpnull): { _groupPositions = if (isnull _target) then {_default} else {(_target) getvariable [_varName,_default]}; _sidePositions = missionnamespace getvariable [_varName + str (_target call bis_fnc_objectSide),_default]; };
so currently if you supply a group, it tries to _target call bis_fnc_objectSide
however p:\A3\functions_f\sides\fn_objectSide.sqf
