Spawning multiple chemlight in the air.

[Llano 11]

So, i'm trying to spawn 1000 chemlight in the air, that will fall down (cool rain-effect). But i have some problem.

I would like to spawn them in a square, so therefor i made a for-loop.

_unit = _this select 0;
_position = getPos _unit;
_yPos = _position select 1;
_xPos = _position select 0;

_chemY = 0;
_chemX = 1;
for "_x" from 1 to 1000 do
{
if((_chemX / 50) == 1) then
{
	_chemY = _chemY +  1;
	_chemX = 1;
}
_chem = "Chemlight_red" createVehicle [(_xPos + _chemX), (_yPos + _chemY), 100];
_chemX = _chemX + 1;

}

When i run this script, nothing happens. If i remove the if-statement, it spawns 1000 chemlight in a row, 100 distance up in the air.

PS: Yes i'm a noob. Yes i suck at explaining. Yes this is a "for-the-lulz" mission.

Thanks.

just a quick visual check: use semicolons after closed brackets "};"

Also -showScriptErrors as start up parameter, that helps immensely.

So how exactly would i go with using this script? That is how do i initialize it? Just wondering.

You just put the code in a sqf-file, add a action to your player, and execute the script.
