Title: Question on Groups
Post by: Ding on 26 Aug 2007, 12:35:30

I've searched around but haven't found much about groups in armed assault. In OFP when i wanted to apply a command to an entire group I would use

Code: [Select]

"_x MoveInCargo B1" ForEach Units Group1
But when i try and use it in Arma I get an error telling me somthing is missing, before I put this I put

Code: [Select]

Group1 = CreateGroup East
Is there some differnet way of doing this? It dosen't make sense to have to add commands to every unit in the groups init field

Yep, in ArmA code requires { }.

Code: [Select]

{_x MoveInCargo B1} ForEach Units Group1

same for counts

Code: [Select]

{alive _x} count units Group1

In many cases you will find yourself having to switch original " " by  {}

Big thanks, I probably should have tried that also.
