Batch addition of Switchmoves

[THobson]

My brain is a bit fuddled.  I know how to give a named individual a switchmove to do when they are killed.  What I want to do is to give the switchmove to a batch of units that don't have individual names or at least I don't know what they are.

I have tried:

{_x addEventHandler ["Killed",format ["%1 ",_x]+{switchMove "FXStandSurDead"}]} forEach units infGrp

I get an error:

WEST |#|Bravo Black 7 switchMove "FXStandSurDead":  Error unknown operator Bravo

{_x addEventHandler ["Killed",format ["%1 switchMove {FXStandSurDead}",_x]]} forEach units infGrp

Gives exactly the same result


This works for a single named unit:
unitname addEventHandler ["Killed",{unitname switchMove "FXStandSurDead"}]

I am losing the will to live.

I'm a bit hazy on this, but doesn't the EH return certain paramaters?     Could you have _this select 0 switchmove instead of the format stuff?

There's a square bracket missing in the second one.

Code: [Select]

{_x addEventHandler ["Killed",{_this select 0 switchMove "FXStandSurDead"}]} foreach units infGrpWorks...

But it doesn't look good if the soldier was lying on the ground when getting shot. Soldier will suddenly jump to a standing position and then fall back down. Not good.

Thank you both.

Baddo - the guys that will get this are standing up with their hands on their heads - promise

Missing square bracket - by gad sir you are right.  I could have sworn I copied and pasted from the trigger - maybe I forgot to do it again after I got a 'bracket missing error' and I certainly remember a few of those.
