Undefined Variable

[mantls 2]

Have to say i'm a bit confused.

I have this (chunk of) code:

case "Eliminate HVT":
{
 private ["_officer"];
 _mrk = activeMarkers call bis_fnc_selectRandom;
 _mrkPos = getMarkerPos _mrk;
 _rndPos = [_mrkPos, 0, 75, 3, 0, 20, 0] call BIS_fnc_findSafePos;

 _oGrp = createGroup EAST;
 _officer = "O_officer_F" createUnit [_rndPos,_oGrp];
 //_officer setVehicleVarname "HVT";
 nul = [leader _oGrp, _mrk, "spawned", "showmarker"] execVM "scripts\UPSMON.sqf";
        "sideMarker" setMarkerPos _mrkPos;
 "sideMarker" setmarkerText "Eliminate HVT";	

waitUntil {!isNil _officer && !alive _officer};
hint "Success";

};

And i'm getting a constant error message about the _officer being an undefinded variable in the waitUntil part.

However, to my knowledge it is defined? Any help is much appreciated!

cheers

_officer = "O_officer_F" createUnit [_rndPos,_oGrp];

createUnit in this form does not return a value. You will need to use the other form createUnit ARRAY.

and with isNil you must supply either a string with the name of the variable or a code . and also you should use lazy evaluation.

waituntil {! isNil "_officer" && {!alive _officer}};

otherwise it would try !alive _officer even if it is nil.

read the two example in here https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/a_%26%26_b

it looks basic, but it is interesting.
