Error with my script

[SGT Fuller 856]

Hey guys having these errors populate the RPT and would really appreciate some help fixing this thanks in advance

_A10C selectWeap>

20:28:42 Error Undefined variable in expression: _a10c_switch

20:28:42 File USAF_A10\scr\loadouts\A10C_dynamic_loadouts.sqf, line 123

20:28:42 Error in expression <g_done_switch";

sleep 0.01;

WaitUntil { _A10C_switch == 1};

_A10C selectWeap>

20:28:42 Error position: <_A10C_switch == 1};

here is that entire selection that im sure its refering to ending with line 123

//REARMING SWITCH, CAN BE SUBSTITUDED BY VARIABLE, USED TO PREVENT

//MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF SAME FUNCTION AT ONCE

_A10C_switch = _A10C getVariable "Rearming_done_switch";

sleep 0.01;

WaitUntil { _A10C_switch == 1};

I would make sure your getVariable has some sort of default value (look at the wiki for syntax) and I would also just move the getVariable line into the waitUntil condition.

[zgmrvn 95]

getVariable has a syntax that returns a default value, this way, you don't get an error if variable has not been set yet.

_result = _thing getVariable ["myValue", "defaultValueIfMyValueDoesNotExist"];

waitUntil {
   (_A10C getVariable ["Rearming_done_switch", 0]) == 1
};

Hey brother it didn't seem to work

[LCpl Aaron 11]

its been awhile since i have done anything in sqf(been elbow deep in c++ for the last 3 months) but maybe its not liking that "phrasing" of the condition while being compared?

maybe

waitUntil {
 _randomVar = _A10C getVariable "Rearming_done_switch"; // pretty sure this would just be a readability thing but again, im rusty on my sqf and could be completely unnecessary.
 (_randomVar == 1) 
};  

would work?

the way this reads to me (from my c++ corrupted mind) is it sets the variable, stores "Rearming_done_switch" then waits for it to equal 1 (or what ever value you need it to be)

if you havent tried this approach, try it, your original idea looks correct but doesnt look savy with sqf syntax.

the code i have written takes into consideration that the default value has already been defined, the way zigo did it was correct syntactically also. (i think)

Hey, for some reason i can only reply to threads and not make my own(retarded:p)

I didnt find any posts more similar to what im wondering.

What is the correct code to count all BLUFOR/OPFOR/INDEPENDENT players and make that number come up on a statusbar as a player joins/leaves team/server.

for example: count playableUnits_WEST. Only that one right there wont work. im getting "BLUFOR: scalar" on my statusbar with that code in the sqf file.

Is anyone capable of helping me with this?

Thank you very much, and again....Im very sorry if i did something very wrong by replying to this thread about this. I just didnt see any other way.

Hi,

Not sure it's the best way but this may work :

_count = 0;
{
if((side _x) == west) then {_count = _count + 1};
} foreach playableUnits;

And for original thread :

//REARMING SWITCH, CAN BE SUBSTITUDED BY VARIABLE, USED TO PREVENT
//MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF SAME FUNCTION AT ONCE
WaitUntil {sleep 0.01;((_A10C getVariable ["Rearming_done_switch",0]) == 1)};
