ForEach problem

[GeneralCoder]

Hi i encountered a problem when i was trying to use foreach operator

u see if i have car named car1
i can do this:
"_x AssignAsCargo car"  ForEach _units

But! if i get the car like this (argument from exec)
cars initialazation line:
this exec"my_script.sqs"

car1 = _this
then the "_x AssignAsCargo car1"  ForEach _units
doesnt work

what do do? :-\

[toadlife]

Does the script know what "_units" is?

Perhaps you need to declare what _units means in the script like so...

car1 = _this
_units = units mygroup
"_x AssignAsCargo car1"  ForEach _units

BTW, I dont think you need to delare what _this is...just make it  like this...

_units = units mygroup
"_x AssignAsCargo _this"  ForEach _units





EDIT

Orr.... you could initialize the script like this:

[car,group] exec "myscript.sqs"

And have the script look like this:

_car = _this select 0
_units = units (_this select 1)
"_x AssignAsCargo _car"  ForEach _units

hmmmmm....

this is what i got in my script and i dont get error it just doesnt do anything:

mans initialazation line:
[this,car1] exec"myscript.sqs"

_man = _this select 0
_veh = _this select 1
_units = units group _man

"_x AssignAsCargo _veh"  ForEach _units

but like i sayd this would work:
"_x AssignAsCargo car1"  ForEach _units

assignascargo wont do anything except assign the units as cargo. Have you tried ordering them to get in?

_man = _this select 0
_veh = _this select 1
_units = units group _man

"_x AssignAsCargo _veh"  ForEach _units
_units ordergetin true

Also, if the player is the leader of the group, none of these commands will do a damn thing anyway!

u got somthin rong there Toad - he cant do

"_x AssignAsCargo _car"  ForEach _units

Oh sure i order them to get in later but belive me now the problem is that foreach line becose if theres line

"_x AssignAsCargo vehicle_name"
not parameter _car

everything works, so it just doesnt seem to work as parameter.

What do u mean?

i have repeat my self again and say:

doesnt work!
"_x AssignAsCargo _car"  ForEach _units

works!
"_x AssignAsCargo name_of_the_vehicle"  ForEach _units

and i know that _car is correct variable becose i have some other code parts like
man AssignAsDriver _car
and that works!

Heres the code what should but soldiers in the vehicle:

_man = _this select 0
_veh = _this select 1
_units = units group _man
_group = group _man

"_x AssignAsCargo _veh"  ForEach _units
(leader _group) AssignAsDriver _veh

_units OrderGetIn true

leader goes in but soldiers doesnt, maybe u should try this and see can u get it work?

strange didnt work 4 me   nywayz here is anoder Q can u use 2 foreaches ?

like

Code: [Select]

"[_x] exec _script" foreach [soldiera,soldierb] forach [scripta,scriptb]
im sure it wil not b writed like dat but i wanna know  

LCD OUT

[toadlife]

Code: [Select]

_man = _this select 0
_veh = _this select 1
_units = units group _man

"_x AssignAsCargo _veh"  ForEach _units
_units ordergetin true

Dunno what the problem is. I just tested the above code and it works fine. They all jump in the URAL.

Alternatetly, the code below makes them all jmp in as cargo, except for one of them, who jumps in the drvier's seat.

Code: [Select]

_man = _this select 0
_veh = _this select 1
_units = units group _man

"_x AssignAsCargo _veh"  ForEach (_units - [_units select 1])
_units select 1 AssignAsDriver _veh
_units OrderGetIn true


I have  a feeling your making a typo somewhere.

[toadlife]

Code: [Select]

"[_x] exec _script" foreach [soldiera,soldierb] forach [scripta,scriptb]

I think you can nest foreach statements, but the code would look like this...

Code: [Select]

"""[_x] exec _script"" foreach [soldiera,soldierb]" foreach [scripta,scriptb]

Someone here know that proper sytax for nesting foreach statements. I'm no programmer, so maybe someone can pipe in and set us straight.

[Dinger]

"""[_x] exec _script"" foreach [soldiera,soldierb]" foreach [scripta,scriptb]

First, with 1.85, the Gods of OFP have given us curly brackets {} to take the role of quotes, allowing us nesting without double quotes (which only give us one level of nesting anyway).
Second, in any foreach, _x represents the element in the array.

So, you want:

Code: [Select]

{_temp = _x; {[_x] exec _temp} ForEach [SoldierA, soldierB]} ForEach [scripta, scriptb]

Neato. I just might use that someday. I really need to teach myself some real programming languages.
