cougarxr7 1 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Larrow, I did what you said, Deleted "terminate h;", actually just blocked // out. Changed the following line' _turretPath = _position select 1; to. _turretPath = [_position, 1, nil, [ [] ] ] call BIS_fnc_param; However, now I am getting some errors in the RPT. Error in expression < if (isnil "_value") then { _value = _default; }; if (_thisCount > 3) then > Error position: <_default; }; if (_thisCount > 3) then > Error Undefined variable in expression: _default File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 65 Error in expression <typeDefault = typename _default; if !({_type == typename _x} count _types > 0) > Error position: <_type == typename _x} count _types > 0) > Error Undefined variable in expression: _type File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 75 Error in expression <name _x} count _types > 0) then { if ({_typeDefault == typename _x} count _type> Error position: <_typeDefault == typename _x} count _type> Error Undefined variable in expression: _typedefault File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 77 Error in expression <ult %2 is type %3, must be %4",_id, str _default, _typeDefault, _textTypes] call> Error position: <_default, _typeDefault, _textTypes] call> Error Undefined variable in expression: _default File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 88 Error in expression <pes = _this select 3; _type = typename _value; _typeDefault = typename _default> Error position: <_value; _typeDefault = typename _default> Error Undefined variable in expression: _value File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 72 Error in expression <d,_value] call bis_fnc_error; }; }; }; _value } else { if (isnil "_value") then> Error position: <_value } else { if (isnil "_value") then> Error Undefined variable in expression: _value File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 108 Error in expression <ypename _value; _typeDefault = typename _default; if !({_type == typename _x} c> Error position: <_default; if !({_type == typename _x} c> Error Undefined variable in expression: _default File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 73 Error in expression <ypename _value; _typeDefault = typename _default; if !({_type == typename _x} c> Error position: <_default; if !({_type == typename _x} c> Error Undefined variable in expression: _default File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 73 Error in expression <ypename _value; _typeDefault = typename _default; if !({_type == typename _x} c> Error position: <_default; if !({_type == typename _x} c> Error Undefined variable in expression: _default File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 73 Error in expression < if (isnil "_value") then { _value = _default; }; if (_thisCount > 3) then > Error position: <_default; }; if (_thisCount > 3) then > Error Undefined variable in expression: _default File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 65 Error in expression <typeDefault = typename _default; if !({_type == typename _x} count _types > 0) > Error position: <_type == typename _x} count _types > 0) > Error Undefined variable in expression: _type File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 75 Error in expression <pes = _this select 3; _type = typename _value; _typeDefault = typename _default> Error position: <_value; _typeDefault = typename _default> Error Undefined variable in expression: _value File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 72 Error in expression <name _x} count _types > 0) then { if ({_typeDefault == typename _x} count _type> Error position: <_typeDefault == typename _x} count _type> Error Undefined variable in expression: _typedefault File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 77 Error in expression <ult %2 is type %3, must be %4",_id, str _default, _typeDefault, _textTypes] call> Error position: <_default, _typeDefault, _textTypes] call> Error Undefined variable in expression: _default File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 88 Error in expression <d,_value] call bis_fnc_error; }; }; }; _value } else { if (isnil "_value") then> Error position: <_value } else { if (isnil "_value") then> Error Undefined variable in expression: _value File A3\functions_f\Debug\fn_param.sqf, line 108 Just out of curiosity I extracted the function pbo from the addon folder. Look at those lines the RPT refer to. Hard to understand why BI own file is throwing these errors??? Thanks for your help! Edit! Not meaning to sound rude to the devs at BI, their ability to do what they do is amazing to me! I know I cannot do what they do!!! "It just it's curiosity that kills the cat!!!"

Larrow 2802 Posted July 9, 2014 Ah , thats what comes from posting at work while holding a sandwich in one hand and talking about project progress with the boss :) My intention was to just pass back an empty array but ive and put a nil there :/ . So pretty much what was happening before but instead of the RPT error BIS_fnc_param was telling me im a fecking idiot lol. _turretPath = [_position, 1, [] ] call BIS_fnc_param; You could also just move the original line to between these two lines instead. Then it wont try to access select 1 until we actually know there is a turret path to access, which makes more sense. case "Turret" : { _turretPath = _position select 1; switch (_turretPath) do { BIS_fnc_param just seem like an easier option at the time and maybe introduce something new for you to look up.

cougarxr7 1 Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) OK!!!!! Now I am really curious, what kind of sandwich??? Changed the code, _turretPath = [_position, 1, [] ] call BIS_fnc_param; From what I read this is how the array is read. select 0 is "_position"< I can understand position. select 1 is "1" < not sure what 1 is for? select 2 is "[empty array]" not sure what the empty array is for? Is that correct? Although I never saw a "select 0 or select 2" in the script code. I am trying to understand arrays and their meaning to the select command. Added. case "Turret" : { _turretPath = _position select 1; switch (_turretPath) do { No RPT errors Thanks again!!! Edited July 10, 2014 by Cougarxr7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Larrow 2802 Posted July 10, 2014 An array is basically a list of stuff, can be anything numbers, strings, objects etc and can be a mixture of any. As we know _position = assignedVehicleRole player can return .... ["Driver"] a string ["Cargo"] a string ["Turret", [0] ] a string and an array ["Turret", [1] ] a string and an array The select command will return what is at the specified index, remember arrays first index is 0 so.. result = [ "hello", "world" ] select 0; //will return the string "hello" result = [ "hello", "world" ] select 1; //will return the string "world" Our problem was that occasionally we had.. ["Driver"] select 1; There is nothing at index 1 so we would get an error Bis_fnc_param [ array to check, index to get, default return value] call BIS_fnc_param breaking our line down [ _position, 1, [] ] call BIS_fnc_param which could look like [ ["Driver"], 1, [] ] call BIS_fnc_param As ["Driver"] has no index 1 it will return [] instead or could be [ [ "Turret", [0] ], 1, [] ] call BIS_fnc_param Here [ "Turret", [0] ] does have an index 1 so it will return [0] Hope that makes some sense :) Chicken salad btw :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cougarxr7 1 Posted July 11, 2014 Larrow, Thank you for the help, I am doing allot of reading concerning all scripting. I hope you will not mind if I poke you once in awhile with a question or 2. Again thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
