Module Creation MP - Loop

[Mercier 10]

Hello guys, I've got a problem to create a spawning units module.
To be short, there is an error when I'm trying to launch a loop in my script.

In fact, this code works at any time but when I launch it through a module configuration, this code doesn't work.

for [{_i = 1}, {_i <= #_groups}, {_i = _i + 1}] do {blablabla...}

# is the error position shown in game.

So, it works when _groups isn't a variable but a number. If I write {_i <= 5}, it works...
So I concluded that my variables are not correctly broadcasted. How can I do that correctly?

I tried with private "_groups", nothing changes.

Of course, _groups is already define in that same script.

 

I also tried with

for "_i" from 0 to _groups step 1 do {...}

Same thing...

 

Thank's guys.

(Count _groups) maybe???

I Don't really get what's the error . Maybe you should add the rest of the error text. Something like " expected something , type bla"

As mister mentioned above, it's rather difficult to help if the error message nor more code info is given...

Start by checking what type of variable _groups is....

Kind regards,

My game is in French so I guess the error intel is "String type, number, not a number expected"

 

_groups is defined like this :

 

In my module config :

class groups
{
    displayName = "Number of groups";
    description = "Define the number of groups.";
    typeName = "TEXT";
    defaultValue = "2";
};

then in the script :

_logic = (_this select 0);
[blablabla]
_groups = (_logic getVariable "groups");
[blablabla]
for [{_i=1},{_i<=_groups},{_i=_i+1}] do {...}

When I write hint format ["%1",_groups] in the loop, _groups is correctly define. I'm lost x)

Woops, I totally forgot you were working on a module.

Ryan and I had the same problem with the zombie module, the value people insert into the groups section of the module is a string, not a number.

ParseNumber the _groups variable or compile it to convert the string to a number.

Kind regards,

It works! Thank you MrSanchez, you've been a great help!
Thank you too donelsarjo for taking time to look into.

_groups = parseNumber (_this select 1);
