New problems since September with Mission scripting, please help!

[fortun 14]

update! *GOT EVERYTHING WORKING!!!

Hello!

Was working on a mission in August/September. Was just in beginning learning how to script. But after that i have had a pause until now.

Seems that some scripting functions must have been changed or something, cause im getting errors now that i didn't have before.

1:

I was using this script for hostage rescue

http://www.kylania.com/ex/?p=11

I use the same code

_per = _this select 0;  // Person who had the addAction
_ldr = _this select 1;  // Person who used the addAction
_act = _this select 2;  // ID of the addAction

// Group given in the arguments section (ie: [POWS]
_grp = _this select 3 select 0;

// Remove the rescue option
_per removeAction _act;

// Join preselected units (POWS) to callers group, silently.
{[_x] joinSilent _ldr} forEach _grp;

But now, it gives me this error

{[_x] joinsilent _ldr} for each |#|_grp;

Error undefined variable in expression: _grp
line 12

I was using the UAV script

http://arma.kodered.de/blog/%5Bhow-to%5D-showcase-intro-sat-maps.aspx

But now, is also seems to have some problems

The code i use for UAV

camUseNVG true;
// set side colors
private ["_colorWest", "_colorEast"];
_colorWest = WEST call BIS_fnc_sideColor;
_colorEast = EAST call BIS_fnc_sideColor;
// set transparency for colors
{_x set [3, 0.73]} forEach [_colorWest, _colorEast];
true SetCamUseTi 1;

[
   markerPos "Church", // Target position (replace MARKERNAME)
   "Church with enemys", // SITREP text
   100,                    // 400m altitude
   100,                    // 200m radius
   0,                      // 0 degrees viewing angle
   0,                      // Clockwise movement
   [   // add Icon at player's position
       ["\a3\ui_f\data\map\markers\nato\b_inf.paa", _colorWest, getPos T2, 1, 1, 0, "Tim", 0],
       // add Icon at enemy/target position
       ["\a3\ui_f\data\map\markers\nato\o_inf.paa", _colorEast, markerPos "Church", 1, 1, 0, "House with enemys", 0]
   ]
] spawn BIS_fnc_establishingShot;

Not sure how it's intended to work exactly but this is how I got the example to work after a brief glance.

init.sqf

POWS = [p1,p2,p3,p4];

{
_id = _x addAction ["Rescue POWs","rescuePows.sqf",[POWS],1,false,true,"","(_target distance _this) < 3"];
} forEach POWS;

rescuePows.sqf

_per = _this select 0;  // Person who had the addAction
_ldr = _this select 1;  // Person who used the addAction
_act = _this select 2;  // ID of the addAction

// Group given in the arguments section (ie: [POWS]
_grp = _this select 3 select 0;

// Remove the rescue option
_per removeAction _act;

// Join preselected units (POWS) to callers group, silently.
{[_x] joinSilent _ldr} forEach _grp;

Not sure about the UAV stuff.

Added the action to the POWs rather than the player...

Thanks! Seems like i had somehow deleted

POWS = [p1,p2,p3,p4];

in the init.

Also, for question 2, a name was changed in the script which did everything caotic.

Thread can be locked, got everything working! :)

[dr_strangepete 6]

what are you passing it instead of POWS?

Seeing the rest of the code would greatly help.

nevermind! :)

No problem. Glad everything works now.
