Error zero divisor?

[SheepOnMintSauce]

When I test my script I get the error '_spotter = _this select 1|#|': Error Zero Divisor.

I'm stumped.  :-\

I tried using '_spotter = this select 1', but then I get another error, '_spotter = this select 1|#|': Error select : Type Object, expected Array.

The first part of my script goes like this :

Code: [Select]

_sniper = _this select 0
_spotter = _this select 1

;Check to see if the spotter has an M16 and a Pair of Binoculars.
#weapon
? _spotter hasweapon "binocular" : goto "m16"
_spotter addWeapon "binocular"
#m16
? _spotter hasweapon "M16" : goto "start"
_spotter addMagazine "M16"
_spotter addMagazine "M16"
_spotter addweapon "M16"
;All tooled up and ready to go.
#start
_actionstart = _sniper addaction ["Start Spotting", "start.sqs"]

If anyone has a solution to it, thanks in advance.

How are you calling your script?

[SheepOnMintSauce]

From the 'init' field of the sniper

Code: [Select]

[sniper,spotter] exec "spotter.sqs"
Incidently spotter.sqs is the name of the script, I want the 'Start spotting' action to appear in the action menu in-game. It does, but when I select it that is when the problem occurs.

Although using '_spotter = this select 1' without the underscroll on the 'this', the error "_spotter = this select 1|#|': Error select : Type Object, expected Array" comes up as soon as I preview it.

Okay, will test this on my machine.
But you should remove the _ from the action-name, otherwise you won't be able to reference it later.

Execute with:
[sniper,spotter] exec "spotter.sqs"

spotter.sqs:

Code: [Select]

_sniper = _this select 0
_spotter = _this select 1

;Check to see if the spotter has an M16 and a Pair of Binoculars.
#weapon
? _spotter hasweapon "binocular" : goto "m16"
_spotter addWeapon "binocular"
#m16
? _spotter hasweapon "M16" : goto "start"
_spotter addMagazine "M16"
_spotter addMagazine "M16"
_spotter addweapon "M16"
;All tooled up and ready to go.
#start
actionstart = _sniper addaction ["Start Spotting", "start.sqs"]

That should work.

edit
Just tested it,  and this is the result. It works fine here.

You probably shouldn't call the script from the init line of a unit.  Chances are good that the "spotter" unit is not initialized yet.  Try executing the script from the init.sqs file instead.

Ok, I've sort of managed to get it working now. I just need to sort out my other problem and hopefully I'll have no more problems...  :-\

Anyway, thanks for your advice guys.  ;D
