       lbSetTooltip [1500, _index, name _x]; // Set some tool tips, because they're nice to have

please help me :)

Did icemans suggestion work?

[iceman77 19]

No it actually wouldn't work because the data parameter needs to be a string. Be nice if it could be an object, array, number etc :p.

You might be interested in playableUnits if you only want players to show up in your menu.

Also, disabledAI for description.ext

If he was storing coordinates he can just do: _data = lbSetData [1500, _index, str(getPosATL _x)];

Then when he needs to utilize it he can just do call compile on the data field to compile it to an array. It's a bit more of a pain with objects however. With units I've always had to name them something like unit_1, unit_2,unit_3 etc etc to be able to store and compile it for later use as there is no real effective solution for converting an object to str and then compiling back as an object if no varName is set.

But no doubt it would be nice to be able to store other data types besides a string in the data field.

Yeah. You still have to check if the playable guy is controlled by an actual player though. Unless the ai is disabled ofcourse. But if they aren't, then you'll need to check.

[iceman77 19]

@ Lifeman - Here's how to convert the string name you stored as data into an object. Should work. Cheers.

private ["_name","_unitPos"]; 
call compile format ["_name = %1;", lbData [1500, lbCurSel 1500]];
_unitPos = getPosATL _name;
// . . .
