SaveVar...

[dmakatra]

Can SaveVar save arrays? If not, I'm going to kill myself.

Thanks!

AFAIK saveVar is for saving variables in a campaign.

Then the variable is also available to other missions in the campaign if needed.

Not sure if it also saves arrays though....but I doubt it


What are you going to kill yourself with.........the toothbrush?

Well, it should...
Otherwise it would be quite useless function...

But, you better get the gun... ;D
It's OFP so you never know...

Well, I used scripted a system the last 3 weeks and it's based on arrays. Would be a shame if savevar wouldn't work on it.

Ordering that toothbrush now. ;D

Are the saveVar created variables exactly same kind of variables as the locals and globals, exept that it can be carried through campaign?

saveVar does not create variables.   It merely stores them somewhere so that the next mission in the campaign can pick them up.    It would be advisable, if not essential, for them to be global.

[Peter_Bullet]

So, what can vars do then? Are they variables only the next mission can pick up?

I mean, if I script something like this

SaveVar "Variable"
Variable= getPos soldier

Can I call that array in the next mission by typing
Titletext [format["Test %1", variable],"Plain Down"]?

Thanks

Well you'd have to have the lines the other way round (else you're operating on a variable that doesn't exist) and I'm not sure about syntax etc., but yes, that's the general idea.     I think you need a loadVar command or something to call the value.

[Peter_Bullet]

Thanks Though there wasn't load var command in the command reference... I quess I have to investigate my self...

[dmakatra]

You don't need to load it.

[macguba]

I might be thinking of loadStatus.   If it exists.

Does save war work in init.sqs? (Thank you for all the help )

[dmakatra]

Should work.
