So there is my cutscene. Ok, now look at the very last part of t

_plyr addmagazine "Mine"

One problem, this dont work.... i even tried this with _plyr addweapon "Mine"

so can someone help me figure out why a mine is not being added to the player.
Thanks in advance.

[456820]

well i think in that case you might need a parametere to tell them who the player is but i may be wrong as im rather bad at scripting but you could just change it to "player" wich is the unit controlled by the person playing so that probaly should work

[bedges]

in some cases weapons need both magazine and weapon added. hand grenade is one example i believe. mines may be another.

[Woodpeckersam]

Hey  i already tried what both of u said now and still it dont work..

ALSO, THIS DONT WORK

this is another script. now i am having a problem.

the line ; !"_grp in vehicle(copter)":goto carryon

dont work.. i need it to work cos i want it to check if the group _grp s out of the heli, how can i do that? Thanks !

so, can someone help me with both scripts?

[bedges]

addmagazine "mine" works just fine for me. if your loon has no free weapons slots for the weapon to be added into, it won't work. that may be the problem.

as for the second script, goto commands need the script markers to be in inverted commas. goto "camera", goto "carryon" and goto "wait" will work.

[Woodpeckersam]

thxs ill have a go..

[Woodpeckersam]

right, what u said for the 2nd script dont work.. is there a mistake in what i wrote down or what? Thxs in advance

[bedges]

okay, well looking at the first few lines -

Code: [Select]

#loop
enableradio false
_grp =_this select 0

"_x moveincargo copter" foreach units _grp
?"_grp in vehicle(copter)":goto camera
goto loop
a few things:

you are disabling the radio and defining the local variable _grp within the loop. this may be one problem.

the second last line, where you check if the group is in the vehicle, doesn't need inverted commas "". also, assuming 'copter' is the name of the vehicle, asking whether the copter is in itself may also not work...

and the goto command needs inverted commas.

so.

Code: [Select]

enableradio false
_grp =_this select 0

#loop

"_x moveincargo copter" foreach units _grp

?_grp in copter:goto "camera"

goto "loop"
is what you want. looking farther down the script, the inverted commas need to be taken out of the other checks you do.

try the above, and repost with any further problems.

[Woodpeckersam]

hey dude, that works, it is this that dont work.

Code: [Select]

_cam CamSetFOV 1
_cam camsetrelpos [180,5,2]
_cam camcommit 6
@camcommitted _cam
#wait
[_grp] leavevehicle copter
_ldr ordergetin true
?"_grp in vehicle(copter)":goto wait
!"_grp in vehicle(copter)":goto carryon
#carryon
~5
_cam cameraeffect ["terminate","back"]
camdestroy _cam
enableradio true
~2
exit
it is this line that dont work

!"_grp in vehicle(copter)":goto carryon

i want it to check if _grp are NOT in the chooper

[bedges]

mhmm, well like i say,  you don't need the 'vehicle' before (copter)...

a few other mistakes (as far as i can see) - just copy n paste the following and it should be fixed...

Code: [Select]

#wait

_grp leavevehicle copter
_ldr ordergetin true

?_grp in copter:goto "wait"
!_grp in copter:goto "carryon"

#carryon
~5
_cam cameraeffect ["terminate","back"]
camdestroy _cam

enableradio true
~2

exit

[h-]

Things that are wrong:
- Your if/then sentences (? are in quotes ("")
- Your not/then sentence is wrong, it should be if/not/then...
- You can not check whether an entire group is in a vehicle with in...
- gotos are without quotes... The label to goto needs to be in quotes (goto "label")

So, all if/thens should be without quotes and goto labels in quotes, and all group members need to be checked individually:

Code: [Select]

? "_x in vehicle copter" count _grp == count _grp: goto "wait"All of your if group in chopper checks are wrong...

Your not sentence would need to be like this:

Code: [Select]

? !(_grp in vehicle copter): goto "carryon"Altough in this case it's completely wrong and if you read your code you will see you do not need this kind of sentence at all because if the ? "_x in vehicle copter" count _grp == count _grp: goto "wait" returns true (is true, equal, whatever..) the script goes to label "wait" but if the check is not true it continues onwards...

Of course these examples of mine can be utterly wrong because you don't tell us how you call the scripts...

What I mean is that we don't have a clue what the different variables like _grp, _ldr, _fake etc. are 'holding'...

And I'm a bit drunk at the moment...

So no guarantees on any syntaxes as usual... And now in particular ;D

[Woodpeckersam]

Thanks! It works now cheers
