Simple example, I can activate a ground convoy in the F-10 menu.  Activating the convoy removes the activate command and adds a deactivate command.  Deactivating removes that command, and re-adds the activate.  You get it.

So, activate the convoy, bomb it back to the bronze age with one or two survivors, decide that was fun and deactivate the stragglers, then try to re-activate it.

Nothing happens once I deactivate it.  Is there a way to re-create that group fresh (as in a fresh copy) a second time?

Yes, you can use scripting for this.

Example is found here with MIST :

You're just trying to lure me into using MIST.  Used to use Moose, but that was an ant warren of feature creep and 'Oh, I can do this' diversions and it sort of triggers my OCD and I spend more time writing code than flying airplanes because I still have this thing in my head for what I want to do with that...

Fine.  Probably time to start coding again anyway.

Still have to decide which map to use, because it'll turn into a monster.  Central Europe is too far out, Syria is obvious, the updates to Sinai look good, though...Kola too much open space, NTTR too NTTRish, Caucus is tempting but it's also older than the pyramids in computer years.  PG?  Been there, don't need to go back.  Too much desert, just like Iraq, and I'll bet they won't model Nineveh very well.  'Stan doesn't have enough water.  Normandy has all those dirt runways that are too short, same with Channel. 

Probably down to Sinai.

As @Kanelbolle kindly pointed out, doing this is quite trivial with DML. In DML you don't script yourself, merely place trigger zones and click them together with 'attributes'. Please look at the example below that does most of what you may be looking for. The magic is in the trigger zones (not the attributes next to the table with 'trash cans' in the trigger zone editor). This little demo uses DML's cloneZone to do the spawning and wiping, and radioMenu for the menus that control the cloner. You can replace the Su-25T with any (and any number) of your preferred airframes.

Enjoy
