Does not return anything. To give a newly created unit a name, put "newUnit = this" in the init.

The eventhandlers added with addEventHandler in the init parameter will only fire locally on the machine where this creation command is called from.

If you do not wish it to be in a group, you can create a gamelogic and group it to that.
Note: The unit will deny to move away from the gamelogic.
