group within a squad

[twisted 128]

in ofp you had the option of creating a group (white, red, green) within your squad. this allowed you to easily direct the fire of say group green (maybe 4 rfilemen) in one direction while moving group red (machingunner + rpg) into positon to provide supporting fire.

in Arma I can't figure out how to do this. if the option has been removed, can it be scripted in? and if it can be scripted in then perhaps even more depth can be added to the command. things like cover/ bounding overwatch (group 1 advances while other groups watch the direction group 1 goes in, and then repeat process for rest of groups)

the trick is i have no clue how to begin subdividing the group. anyone able to point me in right direction (I have looked at ofpec but the closest i could find was the great group link2, but i looked at the script and got confused).

It's been removed from the command interface as far as I know. However, the biki says this:

assignTeam

Untested by me, I just noticed it's in the biki.

Works fine.

It's there but for some reason, it's initially hidden & restricted to the new "spacebar" commanding option.

As team leader:

- hold down <spacebar> for this whole process

- scroll <mouse wheel> or press "]" to highlight player 2

- press <Enter key> (or <mouse wheel button>), to bring up Command menu

- select <9. Assign>, which is now visible in the menu

- select <1. Assign Red>

- release <spacebar>

Now, the <9. Assign> menu option will be available like it was in OFP. Now you can use <function keys> for player selection instead to assign players to team colours.
