How can i create CfgGroups?

Hi, How can i do to create groups of units inside the CPP?

I was searching in the configs of the example models of BI's's but I could not find anything.

Thank you very much

Regards

usmcd.pbo & ca.pbo have good examples in their config.bin (if this is what you mean)

Here's part of it (one fire team):

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">class CfgGroups

{

   class West

   {

       name = $STR_WEST;

       

       class Infantry

       {

           name = $STR_CFG_XBOX_GRP_INFANTRY_SQUADS;

           

           class USMCD_FireTeamBase

           {

               name = "USMC Fire Team";

               

               class Unit0

               {

                   side = TWest;

                   vehicle = "USMCD_Soldier_TL";

                   rank = "Sergeant";

                   position[] = {0, 5, 0};

               };

               

               class Unit1

               {

                   side = TWest;

                   vehicle = "USMCD_Soldier_AR";

                   rank = "Corporal";

                   position[] = {3, 0, 0};

               };

               

               class Unit2

               {

                   side = TWest;

                   vehicle = "USMCD_Soldier_AT";

                   rank = "Corporal";

                   position[] = {5, 0, 0};

               };

               

               class Unit3

               {

                   side = TWest;

                   vehicle = "USMCD_Soldier_R";

                   rank = "Private";

                   position[] = {7, 0, 0};

               };

           };            

       };

   };

};

Thanks, but...i can´t do it work.... i put the lines that you passed to me in the bottom of my units .cpp, then i change the "vehicle slot" in each unit of the group and i put the units created by me, but when i enter in the ArmA and i put the groups...there is only the standard groups and not the created by my.

Which parts I need to keep like they are and which I need to change into the example that you gave to me? And those that I have to change, have I to define them before, at the begining of the .cpp?

Thanks

Regards

Hi there, I know it's an old post, so I suppose it's author does no longer need an explanation about declaring cfgGroups, but I've a question about that... I've seen first value given in 'position' is X-axis pos from leader pos, second is Y-axis pos, and I suspect the 3rd value given has something to do with units being on foot or as cargo in a vehicle... is it that way? coud someone tell me how does it works and how can I make some units start as cargo in a vehicle?

thx for your time
