check player array distance code producing errors

[hogmason 2]

i am getting a heap of strange errors with this code can some one have a look at it for me

the code

waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"};

    _iedpos = _this select 0;
 _targetarray = [sgt,Medic2,Medic,Sniper,Machinegunner,Morter,Scout,FAC,AssualtTrooper,AssualtTrooper_1,s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6,s7,s8,s9,s10,s11];// removed ied tech	 

   while {true} do 
{	
 hint "ur dead";
   _wait = [0.5,1,2,3] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
   _distance = [5,10] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

       if ({(_x distance _iedpos) <_distance} count _targetarray) exitWith		
       { 	
           hint "FUCK IED RUN";// CHANGE TO PLAY A SOUND
            sleep _wait;			
		_bombtype = ["Bo_Mk82","BO_GBU12_LGB"] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;
	     _bomb = _bombtype createVehicle position _iedpos;							
	      deletevehicle _iedpos;
                  execVM "HOG_scripts\HOG_ieds\respawn.sqf";			  
       }; 
     sleep 5;	
   };

errors like

Error in expression <t = [1,2,3] call BIS_fnc_selectRandom;

if ({(_x distance _iedpos) <10} count _t>
 Error position: <if ({(_x distance _iedpos) <10} count _t>
 Error if: Type Number, expected Bool

{(_x distance _iedpos) <_distance} count _targetarray

Count, counts how many of the elements in the array that fulfils a condition - That is it gives a number. So you are basically saying:

if (3) then { ... };

What your meant is probably that if at least 1 (more than 0) of the people are near the ied then it should do something. That condition would look like this:

{(_x distance _iedpos) <_distance} count _targetarray > 0

[blackmamb 2]

The if check waits for a boolean. As your error informs you, you're providing it with a count: a number.

if ({(_x distance _iedpos) <_distance} count _targetarray > 0)

would probably work.

Then again, this is exactly what a trigger does.

dont want to spawn 100 triggers around my random ieds ;) thanks guys ill test it now.

works great but now im getting 1 more error

Error in expression <_ied = _iedrandom createVehicle (getpos _iedplace);			
_ied setPos [(getPos _ied>
 Error position: <_iedplace);			
_ied setPos [(getPos _ied>
 Error Undefined variable in expression: _iedplace

this is the code

waituntil {!isnil "bis_fnc_init"};

		_RandomTownPosition = position (_towns select (floor (random (count _towns)))); 
		_distanceaway = 650;
		_list = _RandomTownPosition nearRoads _distanceaway;
		_Randomroad = count _list; 
		_amount = random _Randomroad;
		_iedplace = _list select _amount;
		_offset = random 9;

		_ied = _iedrandom createVehicle (getpos _iedplace);			
		_ied setPos [(getPos _ied select 0) + _offset, (getPos _ied select 1) + _offset, getPos _ied select 2];
		[_ied] spawn ied_detonate;
            _ied setVehicleInit "this addAction ['Disarm IED','HOG_scripts\HOG_ieds\disarm.sqf','player distance _ied<3']";
		   processInitCommands;

			 if (HOG_debug) then 
             {                 
	          [sgt,nil,rgroupChat,"Spawning IED + Debug ON."] call RE; 
                  sleep 0.2;

I don't really use locations that often, I'm not sure here, but does position works on a location? Have you tried with locationPosition?

[kylania 568]

50 road IEDs and 50 house IEDs? Not a place I want to visit!

[hogmason 2]
