WaitUntil inside forEach loops?

[sturmfalkerda 8]

I am attempting to optimize a script, and I have done something stupid. I cant finish the part that detaches stuff and the ground detection.... Any ideas?

OPTIMIZED 0 = ["lz", Pcar1, Pcar2] execVM "boxdroponmarker3.sqf"

		if(isServer) then {
	_wpPos = _this select 0;
       _chuteType = "B_Parachute_02_F";	
       _carnameType =  "B_supplyCrate_F";
	_stuff1 = "chemlight_red";
	_stuff2 = "SmokeShellRed";
	_stuff3 = "F_20mm_Red";
	_stuff = [_stuff1, _stuff2, _stuff3];
	_carname = _this select 1;
	_carname2 = _this select 2;
	_handle = [_carname, _carname2];

    {
    _chute = createVehicle [_chuteType, [100, 100, 200], [], 0, 'FLY'];
	_chute setPos [getMarkerPos _wpPos select 0, getMarkerPos _wpPos select 1, 200];
	_x attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0.2]];
	{
	_randomstuff = _x createVehicle [0,0,0];
	_randomstuff attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0.2]];

	} forEach _stuff;

	} forEach _handle;


//		waitUntil {position _carname select 2 < 0.5 || isNull _chute};

UNOPTIMIZED

	if(isServer) then {
	_wpPos = _this select 0;
       _chuteType = "B_Parachute_02_F";
       _carnameType =  "B_supplyCrate_F";	

	_chute = createVehicle [_chuteType, [100, 100, 200], [], 0, 'FLY'];
       _chute setPos [getMarkerPos _wpPos select 0, getMarkerPos _wpPos select 1, 200];
    _carname = _this select 1;
       _light = "chemlight_red" createVehicle [0,0,0]; //create the chemlight
	_smokegrenade = "SmokeShellRed" createVehicle [0,0,0]; //create the Smoke
	_carflare = "F_20mm_Red" createVehicle [0,0,0]; //create the Flare
	_carname attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0.2]];
	_light attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0.2]];
	_smokegrenade attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0.2]];
	_carflare attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0.2]];
       waitUntil {position _carname select 2 < 0.5 || isNull _chute};
       detach _carname;
	detach _light;
	detach _SmokeGrenade;
	detach _carflare;
       _carname setPos [position _carname select 0, position _carname select 1, 0];
	[_carname, "mis_fnc_boxInit"] spawn BIS_fnc_MP; //remove this if you don't want VAS on your box
	};

You can try to put

private ["_x"];

in second forEach loop. Or just use something like this instead:

for "_i" from 0 to (count _stuff - 1) do {
_thing = _stuff select _i;

_randomstuff = _thing createVehicle [0,0,0]; 
_randomstuff attachTo [_chute, [0, 0, 0.2]]; 
};

o_o......

I never thought of that.

What will setting _x private do?

I may use your second method.

[champ-1 40]

First forEach loop defines _x and second forEach loop does the same thing. They may conflict.

Private command makes it... well private for that loop. Not sure though, it might not work.

[sturmfalkerda 8]

It works at the moment, I have no idea how.

I will try setting them private.

How do I implement the following for each vehicle? My attempts result in wierdness.

This prevents the vehicle from slamming into the ground.

     waitUntil {position _carname select 2 < 0.5 || isNull _chute};
      _carname setPos [position _carname select 0, position _carname select 1, 0]; 

Thank you for the help!

[champ-1 40]

{
[_x] spawn {
	_carname = _this select 0;

	waitUntil {position _carname select 2 < 0.5 || isNull _chute};
	_carname setPos [position _carname select 0, position _carname select 1, 0];
};
} forEach _cars;

Somthing like this?

Where? _chute is local and cant be seen by the above because it is inside a forEach loop. I may need to rewrite my script, :|

[champ-1 40]

You need to pass all variables through squre brackets and then define them via "_this select".

[_carname, _chute, _whatever] spawn {
_carname = _this select 0;
_chute = _this select 1;

Spawn is basicly a way to create new loop that doesn't stop your script from working. It's like another script inside a script.

No luck. My brain must be off, this was working this morning. :|

Thanks for the help!
