finding the smallest distance (tough)

[.pablo.]

say i have 7 cars, and i want a soldier to get in the closest one with the least code

how do i do it?

[deaddog]

Try this:

Create this script:

;closestcar.sqs

cars=[car1,car2,car3, etc] <<< create array of car names

_u=_this select 0

_dis=999999
_closestcar=car1

{_d=_u distance _x;if (_d<_dis) then {_dis=_d;_closestcar=_x}} foreach cars

_u domove getpos _closestcar

exit


call the script like this:  [nameofsoldier] exec "closestcar.sqs"

i didn't know foreach could be used like that!

thanks!
