Multiplayer Group Names

[Howard 0]

Hi, I'm making a training map for my unit and I've placed different groups at different stations.

This screenshot shows the multiplayer role selection, I want to switch out for example the 1-1-A to Helicopter, changing the unit name didn't help at all.

Hm try to put

group this setGroupID ["Your_Group_Name",""]

in the init line of the groupleader. To give a specific unit in the group a name I write the name in the description line of the unit. Hope it works.

Edit: Just tested - doesn't work, sorry. :rolleyes:

try in group leaders init

nameofgroup = group this;

Unless this changed in Arma 2, there was no way to change the name of the group BEFORE the briefing. init.sqf and the init line of units is run at briefing, so you cannot change the default group names until then.

You are right, im dumb... I forgot about that but now i remember. Its the order the "group" is placed.

You can change it, but the change won't take effect until after the mission has initialized (right at the breifing screen). The command is setGroupID.
