what is "_x"?

what is "_x"? what does it mean

[das attorney 857]

In the context of loops, _x is a special variable that means "The element in question"

So if you're doing a simple loop like:

{
   _x setDamage 1;
} forEach [man1, man2, man3];

Then essentially you are telling Arma to do the following:

man1 setDamage 1;
man2 setDamage 1;
man3 setDamage 1;

_x is the element you are currently using in an array. In the above case, _x is man1, then man2, then man3 because the forEach command loops through each element in the array.

Does that make some sense of it for you?

Yeah thanks but why do I get an error with this?

_x addEventHandler ["killed", {["Task_Objectives", "Failed"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; [["end1", true, true], "BIS_fnc_endMission", true, true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;}]} forEach [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9];

Hmm, nasty bit of code to debug there. I think _x isn't in scope because you have missed out an opening bracket. Maybe...

Try:

{
   _x addEventHandler ["killed", {["Task_Objectives", "Failed"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState; [["end1", true, true], "BIS_fnc_endMission", true, true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;}];
} forEach [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9]; 

Placed one of these at the start {

Disclaimer: Untested.

I get no errors now :) is the [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9]; Who it calls this action for?

Can you clarify? I'm not understanding what you mean exactly. Are you asking what [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9] is?

if isServer then
{
 {
   _x addEventHandler ["killed",
   {
     ["Task_Objectives", "Failed"] call BIS_fnc_taskSetState;
     [["end1", true, true], "BIS_fnc_endMission", true, true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;
   }];
 }
 forEach [c1,c2,c3,c4,c5,c6,c7,c8,c9];
};

yes you edited the actual one what was "supposed" to help many times because everything you said was wrong. Just like your last comment on there. Which causes an error. Like I said stop commenting if you are not trying to help!
