[units group] join group

[redface 1]

I want to take advantage of randomly spawning groups without giving each individual unit a name

but I encounter the following problem:

the join command asks for an array (of units?)

[x,y,z] join grpfirst

I want random groups (jumping from helicopters, trucks) to reinforce (thus join) an existing group while defending a base

but these units don't have names and can only be called by

"units grpsecond"

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[units grpsecond] join grpfirst

gives an error

for clarity's sake: I want to use the "join-" command so that they follow the "hold"-waypoint of the original group

is this impossible, or do I need to use another command?

Easy trap this one:

Units grpsecond is already an array of units,

[units grpsecond] is an array in with one element that is an array of units. That's what's giving rise to the error.

Whatever, just use:

Units grpsecond Join grpfirst

Or to be really, really safe, force the Units command to run first:

(Units grpsecond) Join grpfirst

I guess you can make the leader join the squad, like:

[grpleader] join 2grpleader

i never tried it though

thanks ACF the brackets make the difference indeed ...
