The Problem

This 'as is' works perfect, however that was only after adding:

Code: [Select]

_v = (locationposition _n) distance _l;after each foreach loop.

_n = nearest
_l = location

Now what would happen if the foreach was not there, was the very last few markers (linked to Masbete, the last of the _ta array) would move off to a random location. This would also occur to all the markers linked to Bagango, (the last of the _ca array).

What was strange is that it would only occur on the last town if it is closest, and even though the:

Code: [Select]

_v = (locationposition _n) distance _l;Inside the foreach loop was being declared and _n is being found by this distance, it comes up outside the loop as a random number between 1 and ten thousand. I then found by re-defining _v it would find the actual distance, but that seems strange considering it had found the distance moments before via foreach loop with _n...

Found it.
_v is the smallest distance between _n and _l, but only as long as the if-statement don't get true. At that point it is the second smallest distance and not the smallest.

Code: [Select]

_v = (locationposition _n) distance _l;
{
private ["_d"];
_d = (locationposition _x) distance _l;
if (_d < _v) then {
_n = _x;
_v = _d;
};
} foreach (_ca + _ta + _sa);
Btw:
Is there any reason for the first call?

[Rommel92]

Found it.

Ah!!!

Thanks a tonne, saved my brain from exploding. 

note: The call is there for no reason, except to null those variables c and s as they are used later, which can be done 1000 other ways, but I was just lazy.
