Trigger on act question

[fawlty 27]

Making up some compositions and need this for a upcoming mission but can see more uses for it

The question,  is there a easier way to achieve this than

 

c1 setCaptive false; c2 setCaptive false; c3 setCaptive false; c4 setCaptive false; c5 setCaptive false; c6 setCaptive false; c7 setCaptive false;

 

C being individual civilians.

I'm trying to group the c1,c2 etc.

for "_i" from 1 to 7 do { (missionNamespace getVariable ["c" + str _i, objNull]) setCaptive false };

Thanks KK, that certainly worked but from my very limited script knowledge the original makes more sense to me.

 

The key words here are 'limited knowledge'

 

Thanks again

@fawlty,
It's something like this,

Quote

for "_i" from 1 to 7 do {	// count from c_ entities in your array (good thing you named them numerically)

 (missionNamespace getVariable ["c" + str _i, objNull])	// look for objects named "c+_i" in missionNameSpace

 setCaptive false }; //do this to each "c+_i"

the original makes more sense to me.

Perhaps at this stage but if you had to add more script the original method would get complicated very quickly.

Have fun!
