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 sets the group deletion flag, similar to the flag being set during group creation. True does not mean that the group will be deleted but that it was suggested to the engine that it should be deleted. It is up to the engine how it manages groups. False does not mean that the 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]; };
