Undefined number of variable names

[Kubas94CZ 0]

Hello,

I'm making rally point script (based of many diferent scripts), but I have problem with number of squad leaders (number of variable names).

 

Spoiler

_unit = (_this select 0);
if ((_unit == SQA) && (r1Cooldown == 1)) exitWith {
        
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#FF0000'>Not Available!</t><br/><br/>You must wait 5 minutes after placing a rally to deploy another!"];
    };

if ((_unit == SQA) && (r1Cooldown == 0)) then {
        
        deleteVehicle rally1;
        r1Cooldown=1;
        rally1 = createVehicle ["Misc_Backpackheap", position SQA];
        rally1 enableSimulation false;
        rally1 addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{0}];                
        "respawn_guerrila_SQA" setMarkerPos position SQA;                
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#4DB0E2'>Squad Rally Point Placed!</t><br/><br/>It will be moved to base in 10 minutes!"];                                    
        sleep 300;
        r1Cooldown = 0;
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#4DB0E2'>Squad Rally Point Available!</t><br/><br/>You Can Deploy It Through Scroll Menu!"];                
        sleep 300;
        deleteVehicle rally1;
        "respawn_guerrila_SQA" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "respawn_guerrila_BASE";
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#4DB0E2'>Squad Rally Point Moved to Base!</t><br/><br/>You Can Deploy A New One Through Scroll Menu!"];            
    };

if ((_unit == SQB) && (r2Cooldown == 1)) exitWith {
        
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#FF0000'>Not Available!</t><br/><br/>You must wait 5 minutes after placing a rally to deploy another!"];
    };

.... it repeats until 8th squad leader SQH

 

I have problem with variables SQA ... SQB ... SQC, these variables are variable names of each squad leader. But I never know how many squad leaders I will need (it depends on number of players and so on) so let's say that I have 3 squad leaders (SQA, SQB, SQC) but when they use this script via addAction it will show error message:

"undefined variable sqd in line if ((_unit == SQD) && (r2Cooldown == 1)) exitWith {"

 

So unless I have all squad leader this error will show up on each use. Script works, but these error messages are annoying. Is there way to solve this? I know there is way by dividing script for each squad leader, but I don't think it is THE WAY. Or is it possible to use variable name in each line such as:

_unit = (_this select 0);
if ((_unit)Cooldown == 1) exitWith {
        
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#FF0000'>Not Available!</t><br/><br/>You must wait 5 minutes after placing a rally to deploy another!"];
    };

if (r1Cooldown == 0) then {
        
        deleteVehicle (_unit)rally;
       (_unit)Cooldown=1;
       (_unit)rally = createVehicle ["Misc_Backpackheap", position SQA];
        (_unit)rally enableSimulation false;
        (_unit)rally addEventHandler ["HandleDamage",{0}];                
        "respawn_guerrila_(_unit)" setMarkerPos position (_unit);                
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#4DB0E2'>Squad Rally Point Placed!</t><br/><br/>It will be moved to base in 10 minutes!"];                                    
        sleep 300;
        (_unit)Cooldown = 0;
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#4DB0E2'>Squad Rally Point Available!</t><br/><br/>You Can Deploy It Through Scroll Menu!"];                
        sleep 300;
        deleteVehicle (_unit)rally;
        "respawn_guerrila_(_unit)" setMarkerPos getMarkerPos "respawn_guerrila_BASE";
        hint parseText format ["<t size = '1.5' color = '#4DB0E2'>Squad Rally Point Moved to Base!</t><br/><br/>You Can Deploy A New One Through Scroll Menu!"];            
    };

 

Thanks for any answers,

Before proceeding into its code, you should do some verification on _unit to ensure 1) it's not null, like when AI are disabled or get deleted in a cleanup, and 2) it's still alive, not dead.

if (!isNull SQA && {Alive SQA}) then {
	if ((_unit == SQA) && (r1Cooldown == 0)) then {

make sure it is not nil first

if ( !isNil "SQA" && { _unit == SQA && r1Cooldown == 0 } ) then {
