Spawn using Array

[1para{god-father} 105]

I generate some random markers then add the pos to an array , now i need to place men in those marker but how do I do that using my Array, thought the belkow would work but not as they all spawn on the same spot :(

i.e Missionmarkers= [[1550,5650,0],[1650,5750,0],[1250,5850,0],[1250,5850,0],[1650,5650,0],[1450,5850,0]]

_count = count Missionmarkers;
_markertemp = Missionmarkers;

for "_i" from 1 to _count do {
    _spawngroup = [_markertemp select 0, EAST, ["TK_INS_Soldier_MG_EP1"], [],[],[],[],[1,1]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
    _markertemp = _markertemp - [_markertemp select 0];
};

_markertemp select 0

Always 0, swap it to a floor(ed) random of the size of the array or use the loops "_i".

I suppose, it is because you try to subtract nested array (position) from an array. This wouldn't work. Here, at the end of the article, is workaround for that:

PS BTW with another loop you can avoid subtracting at all, for example something like this:

_count = count Missionmarkers;
_markertemp = Missionmarkers;

for "_i" from 0 to (_count - 1) do
{
_spawngroup = [_markertemp select _i, EAST, ["TK_INS_Soldier_MG_EP1"], [],[],[],[],[1,1]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
};

Ahhh that is better way of doing it !

Thanks

Why not just foreach?

Yup, foreach is much better. No need for count or a loop.

Why not loop forEaches on single value arrays?

Why not loop forEaches on single value arrays?

While counting the forEachIndexes sum?

What are you guys talking about or are these jokes that I am not getting!!??

Horrible jokes you should proud you didn't get. :)

How would i do that then ? i did try but they all spawned @ the samelocation !

[Rydygier 1325]

Tried this way?

    {
   _spawngroup = [_x, EAST, ["TK_INS_Soldier_MG_EP1"], [],[],[],[],[1,1]] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;
   }
foreach Missionmarkers

Really doesn't matter, which loop you choose. Matters, if code does, what you want.
