problems with script

[Messiah]

now, i created this script so that when a west man gets shot then he screams one of the editor voices - like MEDIC etc.

now this works PERFECT .... but (u knew there was a but) it errors if 2 get killed at once or in quick succession - understandable

so, looking at the script below, is there any way of it like 'forgeting' about the others and only allow one at a time and not error - so, like, if 5 peeps get killed at once, only one shouts and the rest are forgotten and the script wont error?

cheers.

Code: [Select]

_unitarray= _this select 0
_hurt = []
_say = ["eng22","eng23","eng29","eng30","eng31","eng32","eng33","eng34"]

#start
_tmp=0

#loop1
_unit = _unitarray select _tmp
? vehicle _unit != _unit : goto "cycle"
? "man" CountType [_unit] == 0 : goto "cycle"
? _unit in _hurt : goto "check"
? getdammage _unit > 0: _hurt = _hurt + [_unit]; goto "speak"

#cycle
_tmp = _tmp + 1
?_tmp > count _unitarray: _tmp=0
~0.05
goto "loop1"

#check
? getdammage _unit == 0: _hurt = _hurt - [_unit]
goto "cycle"

#speak
_rand = random 8
_rand = _rand - _rand % 1
_unit say (_say select _rand)
goto "cycle"

Hello Messiah

The errors are probably being caused by the loop trying to execute when there are no units left in the array. You could try it like this:

Code: [Select]

_unitarray= _this select 0
_hurt = []
_say = ["eng22","eng23","eng29","eng30","eng31","eng32","eng33","eng34"]

#start
_tmp= (count _unitarray) - 1
?_tmp < 0 : exit

#loop1
_unit = _unitarray select _tmp
? vehicle _unit != _unit : goto "cycle"
? "man" CountType [_unit] == 0 : goto "cycle"
? _unit in _hurt : goto "check"
? getdammage _unit > 0: _hurt = _hurt + [_unit]; goto "speak"

#cycle
~0.05
_tmp = _tmp - 1
?_tmp < 0 : goto "start"
goto "loop1"

#check
? getdammage _unit == 0: _hurt = _hurt - [_unit]
goto "cycle"

#speak
_rand = random 8
_rand = _rand - _rand % 1
_unit say (_say select _rand)
~5
goto "cycle"

I haven't tested this, but I have used this technique for many similar scripts without a hitch. For your multiple injury problem you can just insert a delay into the speak portion of the script - should work OK.

Good Luck
