Getdammage of group

[The-Architect]

Ok, I have a group called convoy, made like this,

convoy = group this

written in the leader's init line.
I want to have a trigger execute a radio message once all the units in the convoy are destroyed. However when I put,

condition     getdammage convoy >= 0.1
activation    joebloggs sidechat "blah, blah, blah."

I get an error type group, expected object.
It works if I use the getdammage on one of the units within the group, but I want it for all the group.

Can anyone help me around this problem?

First of all, in general commands that work for a unit don't work for a group and vice versa.    There are a few exceptions, which are mentioned in the command ref under the commands concerned.     "type group expected object" is one of commonest error messages, I get it all the time.  ;D     Groups and units are profoundly different, in fact it's one of the core concepts in OFP.

Secondly, there are a variety of ways to fire a trigger when a group is destroyed .... I can't remember which is best but try something like

count units convoy <= 0

check the syntax
