Notes

Although this command takes a group as an argument, you need to use the join command if you want the created units to perform actions such as move. For example:- comment "Create a new soldier within 100m of the player and cause them to run towards the player" ; _grp = createGroup west; unit = _grp createUnit ["SoldierWB", position player, [], 100, "FORM"] ; [unit] join _grp ; unit move position player ; However, some commands such as setUnitPos only work if run before the join.
