Script error

[greg147]

Hi all,

I've got this script I'm using to attach sandbags to the side of a tank, and keep them there, but i'm getting an error.

Code: [Select]

'_armor8 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 8), 0]|#|' Error Type Array, Expected Number
Heres the part of the script affected:

Code: [Select]

_tank = _this select 0
_type = _this select 1
_tankpos = getpos _tank
_x = _tankpos select 0
_y = _tankpos select 1
_armor1 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 1),0]
_armor2 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 2),0]
_armor3 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 3),0]
_armor4 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 4),0]
_armor5 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 5),0]
_armor6 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 6),0]
_armor7 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 7),0]
_armor8 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 8),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" is the sandbag i'm using.

Anyway, anyone know where i've gone wrong? The script works fine, its just the error is there  

Thanks

hang on since you dont need to name it could you just create it
like this

Code: [Select]

_tank = _this select 0
_type = _this select 1
_tankpos = getpos _tank
_x = _tankpos select 0
_y = _tankpos select 1
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 1),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 2),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 3),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 4),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 5),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 6),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 7),0]
"MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + 8),0]
ijust thought of that it fixed my problem with cam creating things but my error was slightly different

I think I need the names, because later on in the script, there this:

Code: [Select]

_armor1 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir-(_ang1))*((_hyp1)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir-(_ang1))*((_hyp1)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor1 setdir _dir
_armor2 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir-(_ang2))*((_hyp2)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir-(_ang2))*((_hyp2)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor2 setdir _dir
_armor3 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir-(_ang3))*((_hyp3)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir-(_ang3))*((_hyp3)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor3 setdir _dir
_armor4 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir-(_ang4))*((_hyp4)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir-(_ang4))*((_hyp4)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor4 setdir (_dir+90)
_armor5 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir+(_ang4))*((_hyp4)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir+(_ang4))*((_hyp4)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor5 setdir (_dir+90)
_armor6 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir+(_ang3))*((_hyp3)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir+(_ang3))*((_hyp3)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor6 setdir _dir
_armor7 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir+(_ang2))*((_hyp2)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir+(_ang2))*((_hyp2)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor7 setdir _dir
_armor8 setpos [_posx + (sin(_dir+(_ang1))*((_hyp1)^(0.5))),_posy + (cos(_dir+(_ang1))*((_hyp1)^(0.5))),_posz+1]
_armor8 setdir _dir

But i'm not sure.

well then yes you need names

Here's a similar script found from OFPTF.net. Maybe you'd want to have a look at it.

Anyway, I don't seen anything wrong with the syntax in that line. How about try changing
_armor8 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y + ,0]
to
_armor8 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [getpos _tank select 0,(getpos _tank select 1) + 8,0]
or to
_armor8 = "MAP_Sandbag_W22NFG" createvehicle [_x,(_y) + 8,0]

Don't ask me why but the last one seems the most probable solution.

Thanks, i'll try that

Its more than simular, its the same.  
I downloaded Sentinals one, and changed it so it used more realistic looking sandbags, and changed the positons so they actually touch the tank.
