Help with position of array elements

[RicardoLew 10]

I want to make a simple script that gives me the position of each element of an array that i created.

That's all i got so far, but taking the position of each object is not working for me.

 

 _array = [];

_objs = player nearObjects ["Land_cargo40_blue_f", 30];

 _array pushback _objs;

 

I tried to make "getpos forEach _objs" but it didnt work.

Maybe someone can help me?

Thanks!

{
	hintSilent format ["> %1 (%2)", _x, (_forEachIndex)];
} forEach _array;

Depending on what you are doing, you may not need to store (pushBack) nearObjects to an array.

{
	_objectPos = getPos _x;
	hintSilent format ["> %1 (%2)", _x, (_forEachIndex)];
	systemChat format ["Object position: %1", _objectPos];
	player setPos _objectPos;
} forEach player nearObjects ["Land_cargo40_blue_f", 30];

None tested, it is very late (or early) here, need coffee...

Got plenty of coffee flowing through my veins so here goes:

Use -showscripterrors start parameter and utilize the debug console, which is capable of monitoring certain variables and what they're holding.

 

NearObjects returns an array, so all you're doing is pushing an array into an array.

You can use apply to change the contents of an array, like this:

_objs = player nearObjects ["Land_cargo40_blue_f", 30]; 
_positions = _objs apply {getpos _x};

Thanks for the help! I think some more practice is needed if i want to be good in this coding world!

or even _obs apply [_x, getpos _x];

so you can work with the couple (object,position).
