Net result of this is instead of the "autogft group" unique name, you get a red or blue prefix. What this does is allow a script I wrote to save group position in between restarts to not have to fight autogft over names when scanning units and renaming them. scanUnits("Blue AutoGFT")
This allows two coalitions to have each their own persistent AutoGFT over restarts. I'd have prefered name retention but it seemed a bit more complex to pass the group object to this without a lot more unpicking of the script. I couldnt work out what "group" actually was until I printed it out but I saw coalition and grabbed it and this achieved what I needed.
AutoGFT doing its thing persistently is a great thing to watch.
