'"u1"|#|= call format["","u1"]': error unknown operator.


It's one of these three things...

You're inisialising the script wrong
Don't have 1.85 or above
I uploaded a bugged script.

I'll get back to you on the third one.

[toadlife]

BTW...you didn't modify the script did you? Modifying the script renders the  warrantee invalid.  

[toadlife]

I downloaded it and tested it just to make sure...it works fine.

Either you are using it wrong, or you don't have version 1.85 or above.

If you have 1.85, then look at the comments at the top of the script and follow the directions. If you still have trouble then....

[DoomedSoldier]

i have 1.91v and i think i put it in wrong.  i read how to do it all its doing is confusing me.

this is messing me over. (intialize like this: ["unitname",0]

also
 (; * "unitname" = The name of the player the script runs on (must be enclosed by quotes!)

so you are saying everywhere it has '_name' i change it to what i have the name of the player. like bob or something. plus i was wondering because i dont see any thing in there that says unitname. there is _unit or _name.
there are a few places where i see it, its at the beginning.

this also messed me over lol.

Advanced example method of initializing script - put the following lines in your init.sqs,
; and replce the unit names with your own:
;_units = ["w1","w2","w3","w4","w5","w6","w7","w8","w9","w10","w11","w12","w13","w14","w15","w16","w17","w18"]
;{[_x,0] exec {weapons_respawn.xsqs}} foreach _units

so i have to put w1 or w2, or if the units name is Bob i put Bob everytime i see _units
thanks for your time. im so new at this. and God bless ya bro.

Here's the problem.

The error code is: '"u1"|#|= call format["","u1"]': error unknown operator.  This is because you can't use a string where an object goes.  In other words, you can't declare "myName" = "Matt" because "myName" is not a variable.  You would have to use myName = "Matt", as myName is a valid variable name.  But this is all sort of besides the point.

Trash the modified script you made.  Now redownload the universal weapons respawn script and place it in your mission folder like the last one.  The important part is that you don't need to modify the script at all.  Instead, the script takes "u1" as a "parameter" and assigns it to the variable _name, which can be referred to later in the script.

You want the soldier named u1 to respawn with weapons, right?  Make an init.sqs (if you don't already have one) and add this line:

Code: [Select]

["u1",0] exec "weapons_respawn.xsqs"
This will send "u1" to the script as it's activated, so the script will see "u1" every time _name is used.

Now if, for example, you have three soldiers needing the script named u1, u2, and u3, you could do something like this:

Code: [Select]

_units = ["u1","u2","u3"]
{[_x,0] exec "weapons_respawn.xsqs"} forEach _units
And you just add more names to the _units array to suit all the soldiers that need the script active.

I hope that helps you understand how portable scripts work.  Let us know if you need more instruction

[DoomedSoldier]

i got something saying it cant find this

weapons_respawn.xsqs

and thanks for helping me.

[DoomedSoldier]

what does this mean

'scalar |#|bool arry string oxfcffffef':error unknown operator bool

[Tactician]

If it can't find weapons_respawn.xsqs, then it's named incorrectly or you didn't put it in the right place.  You want it in OperationFlashpoint/Users/YourName/Missions/MissionName.isle.  I promise it will work if you put it in the right place.

that is what i have in my thing.

Code: [Select]

_units = ["w1","w2","w3","w4","w5","w6","w7","w8","w9"]

Remove those lines and put them in init.sqs, as originally instructed, and it will work.  As I said you don't need to modify toad's script at all.

[DoomedSoldier]

what is init. and what do i name the script

[DoomedSoldier]

can we talk over a messager like msn or aol or yahoo or something.

[toadlife]

OI!!! :-X :-X :-X :-\ :-\ :-\

[DoomedSoldier]

im new to scripting lol. and i have icq also.  ok can you tell me how to make init.sqs. so i can get this darn thing to work. you tell me not to add anything to the toadlifes script. then how do i get to work. YES IM A NEWB at this.

[toadlife]

The init.sqs file is a plain old OFP script file that the game automatically executes when a mission is loaded.

To make an init.sqs file, open your text editor add whatever lines you want and save it in your mission directory as "init.sqs". When you save the file, put quotes around the name of the file, or notepad might save it as "init.sqs.txt".

Check out here for some simple tutorials. Snypir's "intro to snippets" is a good one for you.
