Add single unit to an array?

[Black Operative]

I want to make an array out of several single units operating on their own so I can later use it to make all of them join the player's group. Does anyone know how I can add a specific unit to an array?

Thx in advance!

How would you like to add the unit exactly?

Do you just want to tack it onto the end of the array, like so:

array = array + [ unit ]    ?

or would you like to specify a position in the array for the unit to go, like this:

array set [ n, unit ]      

(where n is the position in the array) ?

or would you rather make an array out of all the units inside a trigger, like this:

array = thislist  (in the Onactivation line of a present trigger) ?

Do any of those help you out at all?

Well, I'd rather like to know how I can make an array of units in the first place.  ;D

I have a plain example:
I have three independent soldiers called Alpha1, Alpha2 and Alpha3 and the player (called AP). Then there's a "true" trigger that should add Alpha1 to an array called MyGroup, like this:

MyGroup = MyGroup + [Alpha1]

Same thing with Alpha2 and Alpha3. On "radio Alpha" this is activated:
[MyGroup] join (group AP)

So that the units in the array that was defined before now join the player.


In simple words: I want a flexible (= able to be modified in a script as I do not know who will be alive and who won't at that point of the mission) array that I can use with the join command.

[MyGroup] join (group AP)

  uuuum, to make several d00ds join someone, try this:

morons = [a,b,c]; "[_x] join grpNull" foreach morons; "[_x] join Bob" forEach morons

-where 'bob' s the groupLeaderName.  



(ps. you prolly don't even need the "join grpNull" part)

You can also simply write "morons join Bob", thus avoiding nasty "follow" commands for every single unit in the array.

Anyway, problem solved, thanks buddies!
