Help with _this select 0;

How can i select an already spawned unit?

So i have a unit in the editor and i want to select it with select command because i dont want to use global variable

_unit = _this select 0;
_playerGrp = group _unit;
_pos1 = getMarkerPos "tankwest1";
_wp = _newGrp addWaypoint [_pos1,0];
_wp setWaypointType "MOVE";
_wp setWaypointSpeed "Full";
_wp setWaypointBehaviour "Aware";

 

I put this in his init but the unit doesnt move.So how can i use select command to select the current unit without give it a globalvariable?

If using the Editor, just use.... this   to refer to itself.

 

Example:

this doMove getMarkerPos "tankwest1";

_newGrp hasn't been defined anywhere. Is that meant to be _playerGrp?
