:: newGroup.units[i].unitId = mist.getNextUnitId()

|notes= Iterates from the highest unitId from the mission file. The nextUnitId is also accessible globally via mist.nextUnitId. If you access it via the global variable it is recommended to iterate it yourself. All groups spawned by mist.dynAdd have a unitId starting at 7000.

The intention for this function is to provide easy access to a next available unitId if you prefer using coalition.addGroup() instead of mist.dynAdd().
