Oh Noooo Groups menu is dead ???

Recommended Posts

I received today my german copy of Arma, applied the 1.01 patch, tried it, but didn't find how to create group as a squad commander: menu 9 is not diplayed in the command menu huh.gif

As would say Bill : Is it a bug or a feature whistle.gif

Let's relook the question: has someone successfully assigned a team (color) to some of his squad men ? Obviously, if the answer is yes, can you explain how?

yes it can only be done through the new quick command (space bar) hold space and then select units to add to the group by pressing the middle mouse button on them. then press it a second time on the last member to add ,and the menu comes up.. and "assign" is now there.. hooray.

kind of tedious but works well after the groups have been assigned.

Indeed it seems not to behave in an obvious way:

the way you describe does not work totally : the second click is not the right way.

There are two cases :

1) the working one when the menu displays a F1 to Fx list in which you see green boxes around the guys you have selected. To assign a group to them you roll the mouse wheel to one of the selected and click middle => it displays the root menu including "9 assign"

2) the not working one, where the Fx list do not show when you select guys ... in this case I d'ont know how to make it appear.

I meet the case 1 in the 1st multiplayer mission on Saharni and the second in one I made for testing on Ramadhi with only west side players in one hugeg group (20+ ppl under my command).

Any beginning of explaination is welcome.gifsmile_o.gif

It's one of those small but annoying things but on bright side at least quick command menu is actually quite useful when you get used to it (which takes a while though).

Discussed in general, search for teams or groups or something like that smile_o.gif
