createunit and array

[CopyrightPhilly]

hey chaps,

ok i'm wanted to use the createunit command but then add the unit to an array so it can b later deleted.

i'm tryed:

Code: [Select]

_tmpunit = _type createunit [_pos,_group,"",1,"LIEUTENANT"]
unitarray = unitarray + _tmpunit
and also

Code: [Select]

_type createunit [_pos,_group,"_tmpunit = this",1,"LIEUTENANT"]
unitarray = unitarray + _tmpunit
but it just adds null to the array insted of the unit...

any ideas?

cheers, Phil

Try:

unitarray = unitarray + [_tmpunit]

sorry my bad, it was already [_tmpunit] otherwise you just get an error about it expecting an array...

still, its just adding null to the array...

Okay, now try:

_type createunit [_pos,_group,"tmpunit = this",1,"LIEUTENANT"]
unitarray = unitarray + [tmpunit]

In otherwords make it a global name not a local name.

I presume that _type is defined and the unit is being created - you just cannot get its name.

that worked

thanks for the help THobson

cheers,
