(units groupxxx select [0, 1]) is not working. How can i use this command to select a many units ?

[Guest]

Can you explain a little better what you mean?

units( aGroup)  returns an array with the units.

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">(units groupxxx select [0, 1]) is not working. <span id='postcolor'> What does work for you?

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">How can i use this command to select a many units ?<span id='postcolor'> Which command do you mean by this? (units or select)

Reason I ask is I know you can figure it out if you take it step by step.

EDIT: see we both have questions

Aha, ok, I think I see what you want:

selectMultipleUnits.sqf:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

comment

{

Select multiple units

unitarray = selectMultipleUnits(indexArray, group)

};

private ["_indeces", "_grp", "_return", "_units",_i"];

_indices = _this select 0;

_grp = _this select 1;

_return = [];

_return resize ( count ( _indeces ) );

_units = units(_grp);

_i = 0;

while "_i<count ( _indeces ) )" do

{

_return set [_i, _units select (_indeces select _i ) ];

_i = _i + 1;

}

_return

<span id='postcolor'>

.. or something like that

Yep excellent stuff Denoir...

To make it bare bones do:

_units = [(units huey1crews) select 1] + [(units huey1crews) select 2];

_units assignAsCargo huey2;

I am not sure of what you try to do, because i dont really understand your question

But if you want to use the assignascargo command to a group of soldiers to UH60 , do it like this

by example, name an infantry group TEAM1 , in the officer init line use

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">TEAM1=group this<span id='postcolor'>

and name your UH60 by example BLACKHAWK

The use this

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"_x assignascargo BLACKHWAK" foreach units TEAM1<span id='postcolor'>

But if you want them to go in , you will have to use a GET IN waypoint

Or if you dont want to use waypoint, after using the assigncargo command, you will have to give a name to every member of the squad and use (by example i have 6 guy in the TEAM1 group , i name them no1 no2 no3 no4 no5 no6)

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">[no1,no2,no3,no4,no5,no6] ordergetin true<span id='postcolor'>

And they will all get in the chopper

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">_units = [(units huey1crews) select 1] + [(units huey1crews) select 2];

_units assignAsCargo huey2; <span id='postcolor'>

Now that Chronicles posted I realized I was thinking of orderGetin Command...

use this:

</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_units = [(units huey1crews) select 1] + [(units huey1crews) select 2];

"_x assignascargo huey2" foreach _units;<span id='postcolor'>

Of course we talking about mission editor ? How yes, i should know what can i do with _units ? It is name of the units or somethink like this ?

[bn880 5]

well if you want to do everything in mission editor I have not tested, if this will be used in the editor not a script use an array name like selectedUnits not _units

in the above examples _units was an array holding 2 group members like [member1,member2]

_ defines a local variable and can not be used in editor, it will let you know.

OK THX, but i have a last question . What does it mean the _x in a command line ---> "_x assignascargo huey2" foreach _units;

Is it a name from officer of the units group ?

[bn880 5]

_x will become each unit from the array of units (_units)

what you have in ""s will become like a command and _x will be replaced by each element of array provided.
