Description

Description:

Marks given group for auto-deletion when group is empty. true will mark the group for auto-deletion, however false will only unmark the group that was marked previously. Other engine group auto-deletion mechanisms in place are not affected by this.

ⓘ

It might take up to a minute for the groups marked for auto-deletion when empty to get deleted when they become empty.

⚠

This command is only a getter for the deleteWhenEmpty flag in createGroup command. All it goes is it shows what the flag was set to during group creation. true doesn't mean the group will be 100% deleted but that it was suggested to the engine it should be deleted. It is up to the engine how it manages groups. false - doesn't mean that group will not be deleted AT ALL. It has no influence on the engine functionality whatsoever.

It seems, that the argument has to be local (like for deleteGroup). So if you run it on a server and the group isn't local to the server this wouldn't work: _group deleteGroupWhenEmpty true; But this would work: if (local _group) then { _group deleteGroupWhenEmpty true; } else { [_group, true] remoteExec ["deleteGroupWhenEmpty", groupOwner _group]; };
