This is a script i made to detect the amount of soldiers in the players group so that a certain named soldier could be added. However, it seems that only the first createunit works, then it just keeps going to "one" to create soldiers, which is bad because only one soldier can have the unique name of s2, the third soldier (including player) needs to be named s3, and the fourth s4 and so on. Where am i erring at? I seem to be lax in this sort of script, i havnt got a script to work that has such ifs in it.

Thanks in advance.

well for a start, goto commands need "inverted commas" around the tag they're jumping to, so it's

Code: [Select]
goto "one"
however, i'm not sure what this script is trying to do. is g1 the player's group? is this just to add one more loon to the player's group and have that loon named in sequence?

either way, here's a smaller script which will do the same thing. tested and works, on the assumption that player is leader.

Code: [Select]
_units = count (units group player)
?(_units==12):exit

money = money - 5

call format ["{PCSailor3} createunit [getpos aa, g1, {s%1 = this; removeallweapons this}, 0.1, {private}]",_units+1]

exit
