a setleader command?

[alleycat 28]

is there something like a setleader command? I have a script in which I want to mark a unit in a group to be its leader. And so far only completely disassembling it and creating new group works. I have tried to change ranks but that has no immediate rank change.

How 'bout this?

Be aware that the effect is local unless both leader unit and team are local to the machine this command is executed on.

So if you use this in multiplayer with a group of players, you need to execute this command using BIS_fnc_MP:

[[_myTeam, player], "setLeader", true, false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP

Having problems with the _myteam variable. Using a group does not work:

_grp = group _unit;



[[_grp, _unit], "setLeader", true, false, true] call BIS_fnc_MP;

Error setleader: Type Group, expected Team member

Could it be the setleader command is using the sub-squad level teams (which squad leaders can create) for that?

Looks deprecated. Try https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectLeader

Try the same sort of thing but with https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/selectLeader

It will set the leader of the gruppe for you. Local args and global eff so run with BIS_fnc_MP.

Test if group is local with localGroup.
