Extract array postion of highest value in array

[drunken officer 18]

Hello everybody.

I create a group on serverside and set it public. When the players join to the server, they join to the group named as “Tango31â€

So far, so good.

But there is a problem to set the right leader. If the player with the rank "captai"n joins a bit later, the captain is not the leader but have the highest rank.

I set in my initlocalplayer.sqf to all connecting player a value:

Player setVariable [“DOF_RANKâ€,4,true]

4 is an example. Value between 1-14

In my initserver-sqf, I have a small spawn script to control the group.

[] spawn 
{
private ["_cnt", “_grparrayâ€, " _valuearray", "_value_highest"];
_cnt = -1;
_grparray = [];
while {true} do 
{
waitUntil {sleep 3; count units tango31 != _cnt};	
_grparray = [];
_valuearray = [];
 // ----- mutiarray { _grparray = _grparray + [_x,(_x getVariable "DOF_RANK") ] } count units tango31;
       { _grparray = _grparray + [_x] } count units tango31;
{ _valuearray = _ valuearray + [(_x getVariable "DOF_RANK")] } count units tango31;
_value_highest = [_valuearray, 1] call BIS_fnc_findExtreme;
player sideChat format ["%1, %2, Hoch: %3", _grparray, _valuearray , _value_highest];
//tango31 selectLeader player;
_cnt = count units tango31;
};
};

What I need is, that the player with the highest value set as leader of tango31.

BIS_fnc_findExtreme (modus 1) give me the highest value of an array. How can I extract the array-position ?

With this position I can set the leader

Tango31 selectleader (_grparray select (postion of highest value))

try foreach

_highestRank = 0;
{
 if ((_x getVariable "DOF_RANK") >  _highestRank ) then
 {
 _highestRank = (_x getVariable "DOF_RANK");
 Position of highest player = _foreachindex;
 };
}foreeach tango31;

private ["_index", "_highest"];
_index = -1;
_highest = -1;

{
if(_x getVariable ["DOF_RANK", -1] > _highest) then {
	_highest = _x getVariable ["DOF_RANK", -1];
	_index = _forEachIndex;
};
} forEach units tango31;

_highest would be your highest rank, _index would be index of unit with this rank in the array

Does 'foreach <groupname>' really go through units in the group? I didn't know that. :confused:

Or did you mean forEach (units tango31) ?

Thx a lot.

Here my code. it works in editor. Maybe i've to call the selectleader line via BIS_BNC_MP for dedicate server.

[] spawn 
{
private ["_cnt"];
_cnt = 0;
_grparray = [];
while {true} do 
{
waitUntil {sleep 3; count units tango31 != _cnt};	
_grparray = [];
private ["_index", "_highest"];
	_index = -1;
	_highest = -1;
{ _grparray = _grparray + [_x] } count units tango31;
	{
		if(_x getVariable ["DOF_RANK", -1] > _highest) then {
			_highest = _x getVariable ["DOF_RANK", -1];
			_index = _forEachIndex;
		};
	//player sideChat format ["INDEX: %1 Name: %2", _index, (_grparray select _index)];

			} forEach units tango31;

	tango31 selectleader (_grparray select _index);
_cnt = count units tango31;
};

Ah, I was expecting it to be an array of units, forEach (units tango31) indeed then.

You do not need to iterate through group members every time. All you need to know is if the unit that joined has a higher rank than the existing leader.

This should be executed everywhere upon player joining
