Retrieving assignTeam colour

[kahssymhir 1]

Hello,

 

How can you retrieve (and subsequently save) the colours a group leader assigned to its squad mates?

Thanks!

Thanks! But I thought this didn't return anything, does it return a value if I don't provide the string? (sorry, I can't test this right now)

This returns the string of the team a unit is in - or nothing, if no unit is provided.

_team = assignedTeam player;

if (_team in ["MAIN","RED","GREEN","BLUE"]) then {format ["player has the colour %1",_team]};

this is right, but can also lead to script errors due to the potential for the command to return nothing.

 

assignedTeam should always have an "isNil" check before use

 

if (!isNil {assignedTeam <unit>}) then {
	_team = assignedTeam <unit>;
} else {
	_team = "MAIN";
};

Yeah, it was not a specific way to handle this command, just an example of what the return means.
