Notes
-
Although this command takes a group as an argument, you need to use the join command if you want the created units to perform actions such as move. For example:-
comment "Create a new soldier within 100m of the player and cause them to run towards the player" ;
_grp = createGroup "West";
unit = _grp createUnit ["SoldierWB", position player, [], 100, "FORM"] ;
[unit] join _grp ;
unit move position player ;
However, some commands such as setUnitPos only work if run before the join.
