Checking if unit in list has been injured?

[Bremmer]

Try activating it with [8,player] exec "script.sqs"
If you still can't hear anything then your script isn't working.

ps Messiah - In situations like this arrays are your friend. They can really cut down the amount of code you need. eg:



_num = _this select 0
_pain = _this select 1

_say = ["eng22","eng23","eng29","eng30","eng31","eng32","eng33","eng34"]

_rand = random _num
_rand = _rand - _rand % 1

_pain say (_say select _rand)

exit


@Gameer
I don't think the Error Zero Divisor problem lies with units being removed from the unitarray when they are hurt - The first script I wrote does this, but the second does not. Unit array SHOULD stay the same size at all times, but in practice I have encountered this error as well. I think it might arise when units get into or out of vehicles. The sure-fire way around this problem is to get rid of:

? _tmp > _count : _tmp = 0

and replace it with

? _tmp > count unitarray : _tmp = 0

There is another method that Rubble_Maker came up with that requires fewer uses of the count command (and is therefore marginally quicker) but this method is fine unless you are experiencing serious speed problems.

Can't argue with that

hmmmm....

ok - well - i checked my script and added a titletext in each of them 'say' parts - it works...

but no sound - umm - does any1 have a clue whats up?

i could get around this by using 8 triggers which say the sounds and teleport them to the guy and activate them - but thats a very long way around it.

any help is appreciated - again

Did it work before the array? Try just putting player say "eng1" orsomething and see if you can haer that. If so then theres a problem with using that array.

How are you calling the script?

 8)PEACE

[Messiah]

no, no, no...  

havnt used the array... and it didnt work before then...

what i'll do is check if the player say 'eng#' works (like u just said...

if not, then i'll use my workaround.

[Messiah]

ok - say "eng32" works in a trigger...

Bremmer - when i removed that gamer said and added your line, the error zero divisor came back up on the same line..

this is what it looks like atm

Code: [Select]

;The easiest method of getting your men into a list is using a west present ;trigger. Make its size big enough to cover all your men, leave the condition as ;this, and have on activation as [thislist] exec "injured.sqs".

_unitarray = _this select 0
_hurt = []
_count = count _unitarray

#start
_tmp=0

#loop1
_unit = _unitarray select _tmp
? (vehicle _unit != _unit) : goto "cycle"
? ("man" CountType [_unit] == 0) : goto "cycle"
? _unit in _hurt : goto "check"
? getdammage _unit > 0:[_unit, 8] exec "randomscream.sqs"; _hurt = _hurt + [_unit]


#cycle
_tmp = _tmp + 1
? _tmp > count unitarray : _tmp = 0
~0.05
goto "loop1"

#check
? getdammage _unit == 0: _hurt = _hurt - [_unit]
goto "cycle"

gamer - my random scream script is activated by that script. _unit is the inuured unit (hopefully) and 8 is the random number generator thing.

this is my random scream script atm:

Code: [Select]

_pain = _this select 0
Randomnum = random (_this select 1)

? Randomnum <1 : goto "say1"
? Randomnum <2 : goto "say2"
? Randomnum <3 : goto "say3"
? Randomnum <4 : goto "say4"
? Randomnum <5 : goto "say5"
? Randomnum <6 : goto "say6"
? Randomnum <7 : goto "say7"
? Randomnum <8 : goto "say8"

#say1

_pain say "eng22"

goto "exit"

#say2

_pain say "eng23"

goto "exit"

#say3

_pain say "eng29"

goto "exit"

#say4

_pain say "eng30"

goto "exit"

#say5

_pain say "eng31"

goto "exit"

#say6

_pain say "eng32"

goto "exit"

#say7

_pain say "eng33"

goto "exit"

#say8

_pain say "eng34"

goto "exit"

#exit

exit

hope u can see the problem - on both accounts - cheers
