Getting group ID and attribute +1 to score in custom variable

[TheGeneral2899 19]

Hey everyone,

 

The concept is as follows:

1) Multiple teams of 2 with objectives spread across map.

2) These objectives have an addAction attached

3) I want to catch the player who activated the addAction via (_this select 1)

4) Find out what group he is in (right now I have in the init of all the playable units something along the lines of ("this group alpha", "this group bravo") 

5) Add a +1 to that groups score (currently a public variable defined already called "alphaScore".

 

For the life of me I have not been successful in getting past steps 3/4.  Here is the current block of code:

 

moneyCrate addaction ["<t color='#f0ff00'>Collect Cash",{
	_unitGroup = groupId (group (_this select 1));
	hint format ["Unit group is : %1", _unitGroup];
	deleteVehicle moneyCrate;
	deleteVehicle money1;
	deleteVehicle money2;
	deleteVehicle money3;
	hint parseText _moneyMissionEndText;
	}
];

The print out for the hint is "Alpha 1-5" for instance, however doesnt match up with what I set in the unit's init.   The only solution I can think of would be to map out a table as such Alpha 1-5 is equal to my bravo and Alpha 2-1 is equal to my charlie etc. etc.

 

Any thoughts / ideas would be greatly appreciated.

if you simply have (group (_this select 1)) it should be same as the variable you assigned to it in the editor.
