Variablename becoming "Variablename" marker ?!
« on: 28 May 2004, 11:18:02 »
Hey guys and girls, have had a troublesome 24 hours and just cant get my head around one thing.
Lets say I have a plane named Plane and a marker named "Plane", I just want to get access to Plane object, and "Plane" marker in script but with just one variable in the executor.

[plane] exec "../plane.sqs"

I tried :

_planemarker = format ["%1",_this select 0]

just to get the name into quotes, but then it returns -- WEST Alpha Black:1 --
,wich is not what im looking for.

[plane,"plane"] exec "../plane.sqs"   is not an option !

If anyone  have a clue what im talking about and have some kind of solution to it, please do type it down and reply !!!

You need to do it the other way around.

Pass the string "plane" to the script and convert it from
string to object name.

Pane is only a reference to the unit itself, therefor it returns west alpha black 1 when trying to convert it to stringname.
