how to create an array

[Meatball0311 79]

I need a variable that will be equal to several types of gear.  How do i make an array?

 

_gear = ["gear1classname", "gear2classname", "gear3classname".... etc];

 

 

 

Is that correct?

 

_uniform = uniform player;

if (_uniform == _gear) then
{
   hint "CHECK ONE";
   Sleep 1;


}
else
{
   hint "CHECK TWO";
   Sleep 1;
};
};

Not sure I got your question right, is this what you mean?

if (_uniform in _gear) then {
hint "this uniform is present in the array";
} else {
hint "this uniform is absent from the array";
};

== I think means equal to.

 

the question is how do I make a variable that is of several things

 

_gear = ["gear1classname", "gear2classname", "gear3classname".... etc];

 

is that the way that I would do it, because I get an error when i have it that way.

When comparing a string with other strings in an array, you need to use in to check if the classname is in the array.

 

 

Try this: (Take not the below will return as fail, because you have not defined the specific classname in _gear)

_gear = ["gear1classname", "gear2classname", "gear3classname"];
if (uniform player in _gear) then {
	hint "CHECK SUCCESS!";
	sleep 1;
} else {
	hint "CHECK FAIL!";
	sleep 1;
};

EDIT: Pretty much what Heleks just said..

Thanks.. got it working.

 

Now how would i make it check all of the time incase the gear gets dropped then picked up again?

[haleks 8212]

while {true} do {
	waitUntil {uniform player in _gear};
	hint "player is wearing an allowed uniform.";
	waitUntil !{uniform player in _gear};
	hint "player is no longer wearing an allowed uniform.";
};

Not tested but it should work - note that it only checks for the uniform/gear the player is actually wearing, not the stuff in his inventory.

EDIT : Not tested either :

_condition = {
	_x player in _gear
} forEach [uniform, headgear, goggles, backpack, vest];
while {true} do {
	waitUntil {_condition};
	hint "player is wearing allowed items.";
	waitUntil !{_condition};
	hint "player is wearing a restricted item!";
};

Not sure about this one, feel free to correct guys! ^^

This is the loop that I have going on atm.  It works fine.  I need it to be running at all times to check to see if the piece of gear is in the player's inventory.

 

while {alive player} do 
	{
		_uniform = uniform player;
		if (uniform player in _crye) then 
		{
			hint "UNIFORM SUCCESS!";
		} 
		else 
		{
			hint "UNIFORM FAIL!";
		};
		sleep 1; 
	}; 

it constantly checks the units inventory for the uniform even after it is dropped and picked back up.
