Description
- Description:

The group limit is 144 groups groups per side. If you attempt to create a group, and there is no room for another, it simply doesn't create, and it doesn't error.

- In Armed Assault, empty groups are not automatically deleted - if you created 144 groups, you will not be able to create new group even if all units in all those groups died, because all the 144 groups still exists - you will have to delete some groups manually.

- A group created with createGroup will get a waypoint at [0,0,0]. When you use createUnit to fill it with units, it will get an additional waypoint at the position the first unit is created. This new waypoint will also be set as currentWaypoint. However keep these two waypoints in mind when you do some scripting involving this groups' waypoints.
