if/else not working

[thetrooper 10]

Hi everyone,

can anyone see what is wring with the below script?

Explained: If there is less that 4 in my group, a new task opens. Else, load a script.

The error: always wants to run the task even if I got a full squad.

if ((count units ff1Grp) < 4) then {
ff1 SideRadio "11b_8";
sleep 8;
HQ SideRadio "hq_6";
sleep 8;
ff1 SideRadio "11b_9";
sleep 2;
_null = [west, "tskobj_8", ["Get to the HLS and pick up reinforcements. You might need them", "Pick up at the HLS", "HLS"], "obj_8", true] spawn BIS_fnc_taskCreate;

//hel1 setFuel 1;
hel1 engineOn true;

deleteWaypoint [helGrp, 1];

}

else {

execVM "tsk_hills.sqf";

};

The condition looks ok.

maybe something in "tsk_hills.sqf" or your are calling it before all your quad mates are ready?

You may want to modify it slightly so you don't count dead units, aside from that it looks ok.:

if (({alive _x}count units ff1Grp) < 4) then {

Thanks for your help. I'll have a look at it later and see what that does. In regards to the tsk_hills.sqf it gets called later on and works fine.

Sounds to me like "ff1grp" is not defined. Check your .rpt file and see if you are getting any specific error messages.

I would find the leader of your ff1grp, if its in the editor, and make sure his init says "ff1grp = group this", and then (as Na_Palm suggests) put a waituntil{time>0} or something into the above script to make sure the group has initialized before this script gets called.

If this is running inside a trigger you can just make time>0 part of its condition.

Forgive me if time>0 isn't the best way (or 100% correct way) to do this ... hopefully this might help

ok, I've got no luck on this. dwringer mentioned a .rpt file. Not entirely sure how to set that up. Would be good to see if anything gets picked up.

It's a mystery

[na_palm 19]

client .rpt file is in:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arma 3

server .rpt file depends on your server config. Generally where you pointed the server profiles to, with

-profiles=

use

-showScriptErrors

as start parameter on your client, too.
