groups

How does one name a group?  I'm not talking about just naming the leader I amean how do you name the "group".  I read somewhere that there was a difference and I can't seem to find it again.  

Once you name a group, how do you get someone to join or leave a group?

I think you need to put the following into the init line of the team leader:

Code: [Select]

groupname = group this
And replacing "groupname" with what ever you want the name of the group to be.

2)[unit] join group

Edit:sorry i always forget the brackets

[loon1, loon2] join groupName

[loon1] join grpNull
to make him leave.

Thanks a lot guys.  That worked.  I appreciate it.

you can also do " this setgroupid ["Alpha", "groupcolor0"] that will call the group "Alpha 1"

[macguba]

No, you can't.   ;D

setGroupId is entirely different.    It refers to the callsign of the group, not the name you use with commands.     However, I'm glad you brought it up because this point often causes confusion and the explanation bears repitition.   :thumbsup:

this setgroupid ["Alpha", "groupcolor0"]

will return something like

(group Alpha NoColor West) whatever, syntax not guaranteed. So you can in theory name groups with SetGroupI as well.

You're talking nonsense, Armsty.     setGroupId doesn't return anything.

though you might be able to grab a group with something like

group alpha black 1

or

group alpha black

or

group leader alpha black 2

Dunno.  Not sure how you'd fit the side into that, which you would need to do.
