The best solution I've found for this problem (at platoon-level) is the following : The PltCO uses HC to command Squad Leaders. Squads are simply linked to their respective SL, and fireteam members are assigned a team color at init with this assignTeam "color"; This way IA-controlled squads respond correctly to orders given by the PltCO, and Player controlled squad-leaders can easily issue orders to fireteams. The only drawback is that I cannot find any quick way to select a colored team. EDIT : Well, this method does not allow player-controlled fireteam leaders to actually lead anybody nor allow the squad leader to set waypoint for his teams, but that's the best solution I've come up with.

Spooner's idea is working, but now it's the riflemen who doesn't stay in formation with their FT Leader. And adding an HC-Commander/subordinate logic inside the fire teams sounds like overkill to me (but that's probably working, I'm too lazy to try it out :D) Katash : If your squads are grouped like in your chart, the HC module will recognize them as a fire team, since the subordinate group contains only 2 men (the squad leader and the 2IC)

OK, thanks for the reply. That's no big issue, the current behaviour should work fine enough for me.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to ArmA 2 editing, and I've looked into HC module. I've figured out what Spooner showed us in the HC example, but there are some things that bother me. I have a platoon leader commanding 3 squads, and each squad leader commands 2 fire teams. Using a HC example-like pattern, the squad leader can use HC to control the teams (i.e. give orders to fire team leaders) and not the individual soldiers. That's ok since it's the way the squad leader will usually command, but in some cases, as a squad leader I'd like to be able to give orders to a specific soldier (the machinegunner, for instance). But since HC break group relationships, I cannot give the machinegunner orders even if I am his leader. I don't know if I made myself clear enough. But is there any workaround to this?
