magazines in array

[dmakatra]

Heya,

I use the magazine command to get an array of a units equipment, fine, it works and I get an array. However, how do I check the number of, i.e, M16 magazines from that array? I've tried:

_mags = magazines _unit
_mags2 = "M16" count _mags

but _mags2 returns 0, and I have 4 mags in equipment. I've also tried without qoutationmarks and other stuff but that gives error messages or it returns that scalar boot array things.

Cheers!

i think ur code is wrong

its more like

"if (_X == ""m16"") then {_mags2 = _mags2+1}" foreach _mags

or somin like dat

check nd den finish dat

I did some twirking with that line but they all ended up returning scalar bool array or I got an error message.

I wonder if the typeof command will work for this?

Or, maybe:

_mags2 = "M16" CountType _mags

?

Did you define _mags2 outside the {} brackets? If you dont, _mags2 is only available within the If then {}.

Code: [Select]

_mags2=0
{if (_X == "m16") then {_mags2 = _mags2+1}} foreach _mags

I can never remember the exact syntax for the count command way, but something like this should work:

Code: [Select]

{_x=="M16"} Count _Mags
And what the hell, you could probably do it this way to, if you really wanted:

Code: [Select]

_MagCount=(Count _Mags)-Count (_Mags-["M16"])
