Description

setGroupIconParams

this only works momentarily if you have the High Command module or the Military Symbols (MartaManager) modules loaded..
Those two modules overwrite setGroupIconParams.

Which is kind of silly, because setGroupIconParams is under the "High Command" section in the Bohemia documentation....

Tested with the latest "profiling" Arma 3 in High Command mode. No mods at all.

if you don't have the Military Symbols module or the High Command module loaded, then setGroupIconParams works fine.

};

However it works without the High Command module loaded

This means that the High Command module uses this command internally.

Which is kind of silly, because setGroupIconParams is under the "High Command" section in the Bohemia documentation....

Well modules are just scripts. If you don't want this behavior, you can edit the script and make it not do setGroupIconParams for groups you want to modify yourself (e.g. wrap it in an if that checks a variable on the group)
