Join group and split/unjoin group help - A High Command Idea

[Mr_Centipede]

Hi, I got this crazy idea with high command, as a platoon leader and have 3 squads.

So, the idea goes like this, if I want to go for a long foot patrol, I use radio trigger and have all of the squads to join my group, using 'join' command.

Then, when combat erupts, I want to split them back to their respective group so I can control them with High Command. But how do I split/unjoin them?

Any help is appreciated

shameless *bump*

is it possible? i have manage to make them join the player, now I am figuring how to make the groups detach itself from the player

I just need to figure out the radio activation - how to create them dynamically then maybe put in external script

I made a demo mission and posted it in ARMA 2 - USER MISSION forum if you guys interested:
