shadow 6 Posted July 23, 2002 Seems to me that 'OR' (||) behaves like 'AND' (&&) in some cases in v1.75 Here's a sample: I got 2 tanks (tank1 and tank2). My objective is to steal atleast one of them. I have done this by making one trigger for each of the tanks and grouped them. When tank1 arrives at a certain point (vehicle present) the trigger sets: 'tank1done=true'. I did the same with the other with 'tank2done=true'. In my objective trigger I would expect this condition to word: tank1done || tank2done ...but it does'nt. In this case 'OR' behaves like 'AND'. 'OR' works fine with getdammage/alive etc only not with statements I make. Is this a bug that came with OFP:R or has it always been there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am quite sure OR works always as OR and not as AND and I expect that after you will send your source, we will be able to find some other problem in the mission.

shadow 6 Posted July 23, 2002 Ok. Will do. Where do I send the mission? support@bistudio.com ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suma 8 Posted July 24, 2002 You can send it there, or you can include mission source right in the forum post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shadow 6 Posted July 24, 2002 I emailed it last night. The mission consists of only 1 player, 2 empty tanks and 3 triggers. The misbehaviour is in there, so I'm pretty sure I have'nt done anything wrong....but you never know sidenote: the campaign-mission : 'SCRAP' has an objective to steal some armour and it works. Maybe you can look into how you guys solved it there. Just a thought Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALDEGA 0 Posted July 24, 2002 OR does behave like AND, check this sample mission. Use radio Alpha and Bravo. Mission source no longer needed ... Removed by Suma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Use radio Alpha and Bravo.<span id='postcolor'> The problem with your mission is that go1 and go2 are not initialized.

When any uninitialized variable is detected in any expression, the whole expression results nil (undefined value).

As written in the definition above, when undefined go2 is encountered, whole expression is evaluated as nil, which is then converted to false. Fixing it is easy: you need to add go1=false;go2=false into init.sqs or init field of some unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadow 6 Posted July 24, 2002 I got the same explanation in an email from Viktor Bocan. Thanks for reminding me about the pre-init of the variables. It does'nt make any sense why I have to pre-init the variables when using 'OR' but not when using 'AND' How about making an error msg appear when this issue occur. Keep up the good work, BIS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
