Listing Objects not vehicles

[Critical_Bill]

Hello

I know you can return an list of units with a trigger set to Anybody (called 'everything' for example) and a bit of script like:

Code: [Select]

_list = list everything
But is there a way of getting a list of certain Objects? Say you wanted every ammo crate in the list or something? Can this be done?

There is no way of automatically doing it. Sorry, you will have to do it by hand. Meaning, you have to manually construct an array with all of the ammocrates in it.

So, lets say you have 3 ammo crates, named a1, a2, and a3. Then, in your init.sqs, you would just need to place a line like this:

ammo_crates = [a1, a2, a3]

Now the global variable "ammo_crates" will contain all 3 of your crates. Simple, eh? But what if you have lots of crates, and you don't want to name them all? Well, you could make a simple script to be run from each crate's init field, which adds them to the variable. So in each crate's init field, you would put this:

this exec "addtovar.sqs"

addtovar.sqs:

Code: [Select]

~0.1 + random 0.1
ammo_crates = ammo_crates + [_this]
exitAnd finally, in your init.sqs:

ammo_crates = []
