"bGroup.memebrs" -- did you also test without the misspelling? The C code in question looks fine to me. Can you also output the results of the groupAddArea command, to see if it worked?

Yes, I tested without the misspelling, "" would generate an error with this misspelling.
GroupAddArea works fine, I am using it the whole time to develop my AI (DyDo-BP) and it is used by BP and AIvolution too. Also no other AI uses groupAddAreaNoGroup()...even Aivolution which makes reat use of groups/teams.
If you want I can modify the standard warzone AI, send you the modified version so that you can see it on your own?

DylanDog commented

I meant "c" code would generate an error with the misspelling. You could not compile it.

Per commented

Yes, please send a modified AI code that I can test.

DylanDog uploaded file pl0_groupAddAreaNoGroup.wz (391.2 KiB)

use player 0 !!

DylanDog commented

File attached, use the wz as mod and play with player 0! you will see on the top left of the screen the two debug messages.

The code added to player0.slo is the following:

 //DylanDog
  dbgMsgOn(me, true);
	
  groupAddArea(aGroup, me, 0, 0, (mapWidth*128), (mapHeight*128));
  dbg("aGroup members ("& aGroup.members &") ",me);
  
  groupAddAreaNoGroup(bGroup, me, 0, 0, (mapWidth*128), (mapHeight*128));
  dbg("bGroup members ("& bGroup.members &") ",me);

...and obviously I have added the variable declaration too:

private GROUP aGroup, bGroup;

There are also two jpg files with screendumps showing the debug messages on the maps:sk-Rush and sk-CloseComba

Please fix this as without groupAddAreaNoGroup() I would have to create an ad-hoc group management which would requires many functions, checks and so on...

Thanks!!!!
