Hello all,

My apologies if this kind of question has already been asked before (I looked deeply for it, but couldn't find anything of such nature.)

But it's a bit of a simple one.

Basically using ORKs tactical/grid system, I want to be able to have a "Unit" represented as a Combatant Group instead of a single combatant. And was wondering if there was any way to do this out of the box?

A good example of this could be like in Advanced Wars, where a single Overworld Unit actually represents multiple.

Or in the case of my test project, a single combatant unit would be represented by 4 combatants (and eventually I'll be adding some custom code to this squad so that each member can have it's data read/written/edited.)

Any advice big or small would be much appreciated. Thanks!

No, currently not.

However, you could probably use object variables on the combatant to mark it as multiple units, e.g. using a float variable as a unit count. You can manage reducing units in the combatant's death event:
- reduce unit count
- if count is still 1 or more, use a Cancel Death node and regenerate the combatants stats
- otherwise let it die :)
