Need help on switch statement.

Vegatry · September 8, 2013

I'm not familiar with switch statement before, and i just get a head start about switch statement .

It's seem like switch statement is very similar to if statement but more simplified, but it still struggles me that how do I declare my variables to let computer know what to executed?

Should it be something in the unit init like: nul = ["co",this] execVM "blah.sqf"; ?

if (isServer) then {
//waitUntil {!isNull player && {time > 1}}; //thanks for iceman77, solved JIP issue.

_riflemag = "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag";
_gl= "1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell";
switch (_class) do
{
   case "CO":
   {
   removeweapons this; this addweaponGlobal "arifle_MX_F"; "this addmagazineGlobal ["_riflemag",15];
   hint "This is a CO"; //test if executed
   };
   case "FTL":
   {
   removeweapons this; this addweaponGlobal "arifle_MX_GL_F"; this addmagazineGlobal ["_riflemag",13]; this addmagazineGlobal ["_gl",8];
   hint "This is a FTL"; //testif executed
   };
};

Hi,

This should work:

_class = _this select 0;
if (isServer) then {
//waitUntil {!isNull player && {time > 1}}; //thanks for iceman77, solved JIP issue.

_riflemag = "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag";
_gl= "1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell";
switch (_class) do
{
   case "CO":
   {
   removeweapons this; this addweaponGlobal "arifle_MX_F"; "this addmagazineGlobal ["_riflemag",15];
   hint "This is a CO"; //test if executed
   };
   case "FTL":
   {
   removeweapons this; this addweaponGlobal "arifle_MX_GL_F"; this addmagazineGlobal ["_riflemag",13]; this addmagazineGlobal ["_gl",8];
   hint "This is a FTL"; //testif executed
   };
};

};

:D thanks, will test it. Seem like just need an array.

Just copy and paste. There are few options in there like do you want them to have gps and what not as well. Note some of the class names are mods so change them to whatever you need obv. Weapons, NVG and some uniforms are all mods class names.

Try this in your units Init feild (you will get a few not found errors without editing it rember):

nul = [this,"l85susat","sbs1","nlaw","no","yes","yes"] execVM "LoadOutChanger.sqf";

Cool Stuff. I might one day get round to finishing it off lol...

iceman77 · July 13, 2007

if (isServer) then {
//waitUntil {!isNull player && {time > 1}}; //thanks for iceman77, solved JIP issue.

_riflemag = "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag";
_gl= "1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell";
switch (_class) do
{
   case "CO":
   {
   removeweapons this; this addweaponGlobal "arifle_MX_F"; "this addmagazineGlobal ["_riflemag",15];
   hint "This is a CO"; //test if executed
   };
   case "FTL":
   {
   removeweapons this; this addweaponGlobal "arifle_MX_GL_F"; this addmagazineGlobal ["_riflemag",13]; this addmagazineGlobal ["_gl",8];
   hint "This is a FTL"; //testif executed
   };
};

Just so you know, the player variable doesn't exist on a dedicated server. So that isNull player check within the server wrap will do nothing except for halt the script as the player will never be valid on the server.

big_wilk · November 26, 2013

Yar, I don't see any reason for

if (isServer) then {};

Hence I never used it since we are working in the init of a unit and are defineing what _player is.

Check your mail :)

Done.

Need help on switch statement.
