Distance check for array

[bangabob 45]

Ideally i want to make this work

Called from init.sqf

null = ["mkr5"] execvm "detect.sqf"; 

_spwnpos = markerPos (_this select 0);

Waituntil {((WEST side player) distance (_spwnpos)<50}; 

But having looks everywhere i am beginning to think that it is not possible.

So heres my second plan

_spwnpos = markerPos (_this select 0);
_BFarray = ["unit1","unit2","unit3","unit4"];

Waituntil {((_BFarray foreach unit) distance (_spwnpos) < 10};

Please help!!!

too many (((((

waitUntil {side player == blufor && {(player distance _spwnpos) < 10}};

Will you run this code on clients or on server ?

If on client then:

waitUntil {side player == WEST && (player distance _spwnpos) < 10};

Thanks. This will be run server side. Will it still work?

Also how can i get it to detect AI east units

waitUntil {side unit == EAST && (unit distance _spwnpos) < 10};

Ah if it will run only on server you need to check for every unit not just player.

Also on dedicated server player is null.

This will detect all units, including AIs:

waitUntil { sleep 1; ( {side _x == WEST && (_x distance _spwnpos) < 10} count allUnits) > 0 };

_units = []; // all WEST units within 10m of _spwnpos
{
 if (side _x == WEST && (_x distance _spwnpos) < 10) then {
   _units set [count _units, _x];
 };
} forEach allUnits;

or

_units = []; // all WEST units within 10m of _spwnpos
while {count _units == 0} do {
 sleep 1;
 {
   if (side _x == WEST && (_x distance _spwnpos) < 10) then {
     _units set [count _units, _x];
   };
 } forEach allUnits;
};
