2 easy steps

1. Specify the main object (eg, core) by giving Variable Name to it. All other objects would be attached to this specified object. In this example Variable Name for core object is blueOffroad.
2. Use command [this, blueOffroad] call BIS_fnc_attachToRelative in init of any other object to attach this object to the core.

After this object with function in init (mortat) will be physically attached to the "core" object (blue offroad) with respect to its position in 3d editor. Attached objects do not collide or interfere with core object.

@JackFighter Oh okay, thanks for your help. The objects change rotation when I try to move them all together. I will have to search for some extra code probably :)

@GreenLion, well, this function wouldn't do so in editor, it wires objects in game. To move 2 and more objetcts in editor just select them together. But I think I really misunderstand you
