If the group is the same as the current group, the command will act similar to Return To Formation command. It is more strong than doFollow (doFollow doesn't work with player-issued commands, i.e via the commanding menu keys): [_unit] joinSilent group _unit; // return to formation Note that the group must have at least 2 units, and not all units should be joined at once, otherwise the group will temporarily become empty and all its waypoints will be lost!
