More scripting woes: countSide half working

[gameboi 10]

I placed an independent near a gun called Mk1. In debud console I do this:

GUER countSide nearestObjects [Mk1,["Man"], 20];

It returns nothing.

So I tried this:

side (nearestObjects [Mk1,["Man"], 20] select 0);

It returns GUER. So far so good. Then I did this (substituting GUER with code):

(side (nearestObjects [Mk1,["Man"], 20] select 0)) countSide nearestObjects [Mk1,["Man"], 20];

Now it returs 1, which is correct. Why the hay doesn't the first line work? You'd think it should work.

This will work:

independent countSide nearestObjects [Mk1,["Man"], 20];

Not exactly sure why though.

Thanks, I made a ticket, but I just heard that RHS doesn't officially support the insurgents in the mod. It seems to be a third party thing.

GUER is not the side, its the string name for the side resistance. independent is not a side. its a global variable of the resistance side.

 

use resistance instead

Thanks. How could I have known? Is there a command for that too?

I think your best bet is to go through some published community scenarios and see how everything works and is put together. You'll learn a lot faster that way than starting from square 1 with editor + wiki.

 

As for this issue ...

 

Use these:

 

east

west

resistance

civilian

 

ignore/do not use these:

 

opfor

blufor

guer

independent

civ
