invalid number in expression

[iceman11a 11]

Why would the line below cause a error of "invalid number in expression"

Bomb = “SH_120_HE†createVehicle [(getPos S1 select 0),(getPos S1 select 1),50];

I'm trying to get a bomb to drop on a truck.

Because your createVehicle command is munged.

The class you want to create is the first argument you give to createVehicle, so it goes after, not before.

bomb = createVehicle ["SH_120_HE", [getPos S1 select 0, getPos S1 select 1,50],[], "none"];

Also, spawning it 50 above is going to make quite a long delay before it hits, and it's always possible it might miss - I don't know how the arty shell you are using works in free fall without a forward vector.

Thanks Tank, It just it looks like My Murray is going to have to update his doc's since that's what I been going by. Thanks for the code.

UPDATE, Sorry Tank that errored out too. It says

Only 4 elements expected 5.

How ever this works,

bomb = createVehicle ["SH_120_HE", [getPos S1 select 0, getPos S1 select 1,50],[], 0, "none"];

That Mr Murray guide is quite old. He's referring to the old createVehicle command, it's better to use the createVehicle Array command I link to earlier.

[iceman11a 11]

Yes I did. Is there a newer guide that will help me, Some thing I can down load and read threw it.

[Tankbuster 1733]

Yeah, there's a couple here that are much newer. I can't personally vouch for any of them, so try them and see what happens.

Since there's more then one. Can you tell me witch one to get. some thing just like Mr-Murray pdf file. Some thing that uses most of the common script commands and some good stuff. ?

[Tankbuster 1733]

Hard to say - I've not used either, though the first one gets a good write up.

[iceman11a 11]

The only thing is that the 1st 2 or 3 manuals are for ArmA 2, Not Arma. Armed Assault.

The scripts commands are not the same, So some one uploaded them to the wrong place. I need some thing for Arma

[Tankbuster 1733]

Oh, I didn't notice this is Armed Assault. :) Those guides will work though, mostly.

Here's the equivalent page for Armed Assault, though I can't recommend any of them over another, I've never used them.

Yes I know and none of them were very helpful..

I'll have to post again, I ran into another problem. I'll explain and post some code too. I'll really screwed up on this.
