dynamic local naming of units from array

[Grumpy Old Man 3545]

Hey folks,

absolutely lost and majorly confused here, no clue how to do this.

1.:global array1 has a finite amount of units stored

2.:I need to access each single one of those units and issue them !individual! commands

naming local variables like _unit1,_unit2,etc. seems to be too cumbersome

is there some way to automate this with a foreach loop?

maybe I'm just overcomplicating things, again

Cheers

{blah} foreach array1

This won't let me issue individual commands to single units inside the array.

This will generate a number foreach unit which can then be retrieved. Not entirely sure what your plan is so more information would be useful

_n=0;
{
_n=_n+1;
_localName=format["unit%1",_n];
_x setvariable ["name",_localName];

}foreach array1;

I want to find a way to select a unit from an array, order doesn't really matter, can be ascending or random,

then make it accessible to commands like

unit1 commandfire target1

just as an example

basically I'm looking for a way to make

unit1 = array1 select 0;

into unit1 without having to refer to array1 select 0

but I'm not really sure how

looks like I found what I wanted

_name = "whatever";
_vehs = nearestObjects [pad1,["2S6M_Tunguska"], 15];

for "_i" from 0 to (count _vehs - 1) do {
(_vehs select _i) setVehicleVarName _name+str(_i);
missionNamespace setVariable [_name + str(_i),( _vehs select _i)];
};

gonna adapt that

Scripting can be one hell of a bad idea if you got no clue what you're doing (like me)

Cheers

{

_x commandFire target1;

} foreach array1;
