Ambient Combat Manager - Group types

Group types used with the Ambient Combat Manager and the BIS_fnc_spawnGroup function.

Use with ACM

By default the ACM will select group types from CfgGroups, but you may want to use only a number of specific group types. You have the possibility of overriding the group type database with your own database, by using two functions.

  //You can pass both actual CfgGroups Config entries or class name Strings.
  [<ACM reference | Object>, <types | Array of Configs and / or Strings>] call BIS_ACM_addGroupClassesFunc;

  //Passing an empty types Array will completely disable the custom database and switch back to the default.
  [<ACM reference | Object>, <types | Array of Configs and / or Strings>] call BIS_ACM_removeGroupClassesFunc;

Use with BIS_fnc_spawnGroup

To return a group for use with BIS_fnc_spawnGroup format it as follows. This example would return a Stryker MGS Platoon from ArmA2: Operation Arrowhead:

 (configFile >> "CfgGroups" >> "West" >> "BIS_US" >> "Armored" >> "US_MGSPlatoon")

"West" would be a Side, "BIS_US" would be a faction and "Armored" would be one of the following:

 Infantry
 SpecOps
 Support
 Air
 Mechanized
 Motorized
 Motorized_MTP
 Armored
