stayfrosty24 10 Posted January 9, 2015 (edited) Hi all, I'm trying to make a script with specific roles and gear. Because i'm a scripting newbie i need help from the guru's. I don't fully understand the switch statement. and how to call them in game. I've seen something similar in the F3 AssignGear script but i can't figure it out. See below what i want: AssignRole.sqf _variable = toLower (_this select 0); switch (_variable) do { case "TL" { _unit AddUniform ...; _unit AddVest ...; }; }; etc.. But how can i call this in game? In the initialization of a unit? something like [TL] call "AssignRole.sqf"? I would appreciate the help.

Heeeere's johnny! 51 Posted January 9, 2015 Firstly, you forgot the ":" after the case (only the default block does not require that). And secondly, switch-case is case sensitive, meaning it matters whether you've got "tl" or "TL" in your case. So, as you're doing a "toLower" before the switch, it's gotta be like this: _variable = toLower (_this select 0); switch (_variable) do { case "tl" : { _unit AddUniform ...; _unit AddVest ...; }; default {hintSilent "Not found.";}; }; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stayfrosty24 10 Posted January 9, 2015 Ok so how do i call this in game? I want to call the loadout of the tl what do i have to put in the init of the unit or the init.sqf file? Is it something like below? ["tl"] call "AssingRole.sqf"; can't seem to figure it out and it's giving me a headache! Gr, StayFrosty24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2136 Posted January 9, 2015 Nul = execvm "AssignRole.sqf" ; ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stayfrosty24 10 Posted January 9, 2015 froggyluv that can't be right. Because you need to pass a parameter to the script "AssignRole.sqf" so it knows that it must load the "tl" role. And that is the point that i can't figure out. If anyone could help me with this i would much appreciate it. Gr, StayFrosty24 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jshock 513 Posted January 12, 2015 "_unit" is undefined? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stayfrosty24 10 Posted January 12, 2015 I'm sorry i forgot to tell, all variables are defined in localvars.sqf included somewhere near the top of the script. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 513 Posted January 12, 2015 I assume the file on this thread: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?187160-Include-local-variables-from-another-file But still, "_unit" is undefined, you need to include it in your script above like the following: //put this right under the _typeunit line _unit = (_this select 1); //new script call in unit's init field 0 = ["CO",this] execVM "scr/assignrole.sqf"; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stayfrosty24 10 Posted January 12, 2015 Yep that's the file i included. Ok i'm gonna give it a try i'll let you know if it solved the problem. gr, StayFrosty24 ---------- Post added at 07:21 ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 ---------- JShock i've tried your option but it still doesn't work. Do i have to make a function or anything for this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jshock 513 Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Oh, I missed your mistake on the cases in the switch, as Johnny brought up in his first post on this thread. Your using the toLower command, so all your cases should reflect that i.e. "CO" >> "co" "TL" >> "tl" etc. EDIT: And for future reference use -showScriptErrors in your Steam startup parameters as it will help you solve a lot of similar issues.
