Changes in Group handling

[zapat 55]

Does anyone know how BIS changed group handling in A3?

Here is a rather big difference I've just found:

In A2 an empty group was kept alive.

In A3 empty group gets deleted. (If last man in group dies, grp-null is returned for group). Although group names are simply ++, so the emptied group's name won't be used again. BTW, I couldn't really figure out how grp names work in A3 so far.

These changes change how A2 scripts would work in A3. (I liked to recycle empty groups in A2)

So is there anything else someone knows about?

same question here, and i am working on Arma 2 - so the behaviour there is the same - i create an empty group, and this is available until i first move a unit into it. as soon as i remove the unit, the group is nulled.

Would really like to learn how to keep groups alive that had units once. It is so much more convenient to reuse groups than having to generate a new one every single time.
