{{Informative |In Arma 3 you can find out locality of the group with [[local]] command, unlike with previous games. However [[owner]] and [[setOwner]] dont work with groups anywhere.

The deleteGroup Command does not work when there are living members of in the group. It doesn't error, it simply doesn't do anything.

- Living or not doesn't matter - you can't delete the group while it contains any units - even dead ones. It takes few seconds until a dead unit is automatically removed from its group.

- deleteGroup will only delete local groups even if called by server. Say we have a situation where client creates a group and puts a unit there and later unit dies\gets deleted, server will not be able to delete that empty group until client leaves the game and group ownership switches to server
