[edit] Information
[edit] Group Paths
A group path is a method for specifying a group in the group hierarchy. It is defined by use of a string.
An empty string ("") will specify the main group.
To specify a child of the main group you use that child's index number ex. "1"
Note: the indexes are 0 based so fixture 1 in a group is 0, fixture 2 is 1, etc.
To specify a child of a child, you use a comma, and the index of the next child you want to select ex. "1,3"
You can continue in this fashion throughout the group hierarchy. If you are looking at something nested deeply it may look like "1,3,0,2,4".

getAttribute(attribute As api.attributeTypes, groupPath As String) As Integer
Returns the value for a specified attribute on a specified group Returns -1 if the group can't be found

Returns the number of children in a group Returns -1 if the group can't be found
Usage:
print(api.groups.getChildCount("0,0"))
