getGroup error

[whiztler]

getGroup throws an error:

18:52:24 Error in expression <me _this) == "GROUP") exitwith {_this};
group _this
}>
18:52:24 Error position: <group _this
}>
18:52:24 Error group: Type Array, expected Object
18:52:24 File x\cba\addons\common\fnc_getGroup.sqf, line 24

Called from taskPatrol:

[_g, _spawnPos, 350, 4, "MOVE", "SAFE", "RED", "LIMITED", "", "", [0,0,0]] call CBA_fnc_taskPatrol;

Where _g is a valid group.

Possible fix for getGroup:

    params ["_g"];
    if (tolower (typeName _g) == "GROUP") exitwith {_g};
    group _g

Currently functions that call CBA_fnc_getGroup break scripts (and missions).

Possible to release a hotfix?

Maybe we should auto transform the parameter, if it's given in array form. Makes sense anyways imo, and keeps call styles more consistent, to avoid errors like these.

Bit of compliancy will go a long way.

Pass in array:

[x] call CBA_fnc_XXX

Define a local var in the function:

params ["_passedVar"];

Afaik this is used in most CBA functions.
