need some help creating groups

[rgbman]

Hey... newbie here.  I'm having some trouble creating and naming groups.

Here's what I've got so far.  If you guys could review and help me figure
out what I'm missing it would be hugely appreciated.

First, I created an Eastern Infantry group using the editor.  In the init
field for the Officer I entered the following:

EastAlpha SetGroupID ["Alpha", "GroupColor1"]

I then wrote a small script to count the units in the above group.  I run
this using the AddAction feature from the Player unit on the Western Side:

this AddAction ["Count enemies", "countenemies.sqs"]

The "countenemies.sqs" script looks like this:


; count alive eastern units
;
; EastAlpha is the group created from officers init field
enemyUnits = Units EastAlpha

; using the enemyUnits list, count them
enemiesAlive = EAST CountSide enemyUnits

; return the results to the player
Hint "Enemies Remaining: ", enemiesAlive

exit



Basically it doesn't work.  When the Action count enemies is taken it
always returns null "Enemies Remaining: ".  Anyone know what I'm missing?

Best to use the grp = Group unit format.

Example: grp1 = group this
