LUA to delete a group of units?

[hellfish6]

I'd like to be able to delete an airbase and its defenses, which are grouped together, when an amphibious assault force arrives in an area. Is it possible to do a LUA to delete the whole group, or do I have to delete each and every component?

Thanks

You should be able. The default mode of ScenEdit_DeleteUnit() is to do one unit.
There is an option on the command to do all units in the group
ScenEdit_DeleteUnit( {table} , true) --- the 'true' should take all the units. [This should be in the current build as it was added during 1.13]

So in the table to I need to list each component unit or just the name of the group?

[michaelm75au]

To delete a group 'mygroup'
ScenEdit_DeleteUnit( {side='myside', name='mygroup'} , true)

Awesome. Thank you very much.

I have a Group that I use to teleport units to "randomize it's starting point.

Each unit in the Group has a mission.

I can manually delete/dissolve the group during play (by selecting the group then delete key) causing each unit to "steer" on it's mission.

How can I dissolve the group but maintain the units?

Thank you.

Just clear the group on the unit.
unit = SE_GetUnit(...)
unit.group =''
