How do i get squad leader correctly?

[GeneralCoder]

Hi

is it bossible to get the new leader if i only know the former leader (wich is dead)

example:
if i have _man (_man is leader) and he dies how can i get the new leader?

?(alive _man) : _man leader _man

The way to issue commands to the current leader :
put the following in the officers initfield:
yogrp : group this

and to issue the commands to him:
(leader yogrp) move getpos [5555,5555,0]

If that is what u fancy

GC,
if you put
MyGroup=group this
in the init line of any(!) of the group members you WILL HAVE a group name.

So the command
leader MyGroup
provides you with the leader each time u ask for it.

If all group members are dead, " count units MyGroup = 0 ",
MyGroup is still a valid variable name and, yes, the 'leader' command might deliver some "isNull error" ... BUT don't forget... OFP can take a minute(s !) to update the group array data after the last team member dies...
