d00kiejones 2 Posted July 21, 2016 What is _template? Can you just post all your current code? if (isServer || isDedicated) then { call unitArray; //No No space private ["_template","_point","_origin","_totalWaves","_threat","_faction","_doSpawn","_position","_curWave","_Wave"]; //input _template = _this select 0; _point = _this select 1; _origin = _this select 2; _totalWaves = _this select 3; //defines _threat = 0; _side = str side _template; _position = _origin call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _curWave = 0; _Wave = _template; _totalWaves = _totalWaves - 1; _armored2 = (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> _side >> "OPF_T_F" >> "Armored" >> selectRandom Armored1); hint _side; _spawnVeh = [getPos _position, _side, _armored2] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; //hint str _spawnveh; //spawn units //while {_curwave <= _totalWaves && {alive _x} count units _wave <= 1} do { // _position = _origin call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // _Wave1 = [getPos _position, _faction, 1] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // _Wave1 addWaypoint [position player, 50]; // _curWave = _curwave + 1; // hint str _curwave; // sleep 10; }; //Handle ending //while {_curwave >= _totalWaves && {alive _x} count units _wave == 0} do { // endmission "END1"; // }; //}; _template is a unit to get the side and faction.

Grumpy Old Man 3547 Posted July 21, 2016 What is "call unitArray" supposed to be? Are you defining your Armored1 etc. variables there? Why does it have to be in a separate function? Once again, properly naming your variables goes a long way. In your example _side is not a side, but a string, leaving _side alone and declaring a new _sideString variable helps keeping the script tidy. if (isServer || isDedicated) then { call unitArray; //No No space private ["_template","_point","_origin","_totalWaves","_threat","_faction","_doSpawn","_position","_curWave","_Wave"]; //input _template = _this select 0;//might rename it as _templateUnit since it's supposed to contain an object _point = _this select 1; _origin = _this select 2; //this was your array of positions/gamelogics/markers? _positionsArray would be more fitting _totalWaves = _this select 3; //defines _threat = 0; _side = str side _template; //this is containing a string, not a side, this leads to errors further down the line _position = _origin call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; //if the selected origin index is a marker/gamelogic/object this will lead to errors in the _spawnVeh line _curWave = 0; _Wave = _template;//wait what? I thought _template was a unit? Why do you declare it as _Wave and further down use it to count units _Wave? What? _totalWaves = _totalWaves - 1; _armored2 = (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> _side >> "OPF_T_F" >> "Armored" >> selectRandom Armored1); hint _side; _spawnVeh = [getPos _position, _side, _armored2] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;//This won't work if _position is a marker, also your _side variable is a string which throws up your error posted above //hint str _spawnveh; //spawn units //while {_curwave <= _totalWaves && {alive _x} count units _wave <= 1} do { // _position = _origin call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; // _Wave1 = [getPos _position, _faction, 1] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; // _Wave1 addWaypoint [position player, 50]; // _curWave = _curwave + 1; // hint str _curwave; // sleep 10; }; //Handle ending //while {_curwave >= _totalWaves && {alive _x} count units _wave == 0} do { // endmission "END1"; // }; //}; _template is a unit to get the side and faction. Regardless of the data type used I do not get double quotes around EAST. Also, why do you want double quotes around East? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gc8 981 Posted July 21, 2016 here this code should work. wasnt sure about the arguments (template,point,origin) but this worked for me. test.sqf : if (isServer || isDedicated) then { _array = call unitArray; //No No space private ["_template","_point","_origin","_totalWaves","_threat","_faction","_doSpawn","_position","_curWave","_Wave"]; //input _template = _this select 0; _point = _this select 1; _origin = _this select 2; _totalWaves = _this select 3; //defines _threat = 0; _side = side _template; _sideStr = str _side; _position = _origin call BIS_fnc_selectRandom; _curWave = 0; _Wave = _template; _totalWaves = _totalWaves - 1; _armored2 = (configfile >> "CfgGroups" >> _sideStr >> "OPF_T_F" >> "Armored" >> (selectRandom _array)); hint (str _armored2); _spawnVeh = [getPos _position, _side, _armored2] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup; //hint str _spawnveh; }; unit_array.sqf : Armored1 = [ "O_T_SPGPlatoon_Scorcher", "O_T_SPGSection_Scorcher", "O_T_TankPlatoon", "O_T_TankPlatoon_AA", "O_T_TankSection" ]; Armored1 init.sqf : unitArray = Compile preprocessFileLineNumbers "unit_array.sqf"; [guy,getpos guy,[guy], 2] execVM "test.sqf"; guy is OPFOR man.

Cheers Thank you for the help, I have not been able to get back to my computer for a few days. What you are looking at it the result of hours of trying different things to get this script working, the naming makes sense to me. I started out counting groups not units which is why I used _template as the first wave, I know I could have done it differently but that's what I did. I want the double quotes around EAST because that is what it calls for, manually typing without the quotes would not spawn units when passing a config but it does with a string. I have no Idea why but I am hoping that adding the double quotes will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
