gc8 977 Posted March 11, 2012 is it possible to prevent arma from deleting empty groups? it maybe that its just the HC module that removes empty groups but I need to prevent that as they will get reinforced. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 977 Posted March 21, 2012 do i need to edit the HC module it self? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koni 3 Posted March 21, 2012 As far as I know, with the removal of the last living unit, the group is deleted. Taken from the wiki Few rules about group in OFP:R. 1) When last man in group die or is moved to other group, group will be destroyed, and it can't be used anymore. 2) 1st man joined to empty group will be group leader. That's regarding OFP:R but I don't think it has changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-)rStrangelove 0 Posted March 22, 2012 What you could try is to make a gamelogic join the group. GL dont die. But even if it works i have no idea how it will affect the status of the group, if it stays on the right side or how soldiers will react that will be spawned/joined into the group at a later time.

twirly 11 Posted April 20, 2012 I respawn groups using the same group name after all units have been killed with no problems at all. Must be the HC module. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 977 Posted April 20, 2012 how do you respawn a group? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twirly 11 Posted April 20, 2012 how do you respawn a group? By saving the group name into a variable and then saving the soldiers types, rank, weapons etc into an array or arrays... and then monitoring how many in the group are alive with a simple loop. When that number hits zero... then recreate the group from the information stored in the arrays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 977 Posted April 21, 2012 ok.thx twirly. that's still techically a creating a new group though which won't solve my problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twirly 11 Posted April 21, 2012 Not sure what you want exactly.... but it will be the same group name and you can save everything about the units in the group and restore it after. Any scripts that were run on the original units can be run again. Essentially... you can have the exact same group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essentially... you can have the exact same group. usually the "handles" to group are biggest problem if it gets deleted. and then it needs to be reinserted in HC... which means refresh of the whole HC bar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twirly 11 Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) Well since the group has the same name... it has the same handle.... the name is the handle. If the group names are being deleted somewhere you have to find where that's happening and stop it. Don't know anything about HC so really can't help there.
