If false comparison array

[infection 1]

Hello I've ran into some trouble in an if statement and I'm not quite sure what the best way is to resolve it!

I currently have the variable ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts being sent from the server, returns false if player dosn't have a profile. However if they do it returns an array of items he/she had.

So

No profile means-

ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts = false;

Having a profile means

ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts = ["thingy",thingy2,thingy3,thingy4];

however here's the problem I'm having

if (!(ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts)) exitwith {bla bla bla};

Works great as long as ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts is a boolean variable (I.E false in this case) however if it's the array incase you have a profile I get this.

if (!(ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts)) exitwith
{
>
 Error position: <!(ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts)) exitwith
{
>
 Error !: Type Array, expected Bool

So, as I said I don't know what the easiest solution to this would be.

Thanks for your help!

Maybe counting the array would be better

if ( count (ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts) == 0 ) exitwith {bla bla bla};

Actually I don't think it will work unless instead of ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts = false you can make it ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts=[];

couldn't you just do

if (ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts) then {code stuff } else {bla bla bla};

????

@Nimrod that returned the same error because it tries to check if it's true or false but it's an array.

@F2k sel Works great thanks!

Actually you could also check the type of variable

if (typeName ReturnedDatabaseLoadOuts) == "bool") exitwith {bla bla bla};

I just sent a request to the server for a Player uid - if it the return value was not the same as the player requesting uid - create all the necessary bits.
