setWaypointLoiterAltitude not recognized

[-Varan 1]

While using this command the sqf editor doesnt recognize it (it's colored as global variable), I get an error message (missing ; ) and the loiter altitude doesn't change.

 

_waypointLoiter setWaypointLoiterAltitude 500;

@-Varan,

The syntax is,

[_grp, 2] setWaypointLoiterAltitude 100;

so unless "_waypointLoiter" is an array including a group and waypoint #, it's not gonna work.

Have fun!

_waypointLoiter is exactly that. And it works for all the other setWaypoint... commands. Like I said: The setWaypointLoiterAltitude command is not recognized:

If I'm right, this command only works on Dev branch. And, if you're speaking about Sublime Text 2 as editor, some recent commands are not declared in this editor. That doesn't mean they don't work.

So that means I can't use this command at all or I have to do something regarding "Dev branch" to use it?

If I can't use it is there any other way to set the loiter altitude?

 

No I am using notepad++

So that means

 

It means it is a new command that is currently only available in the development branch. You are certainly welcome to install the dev branch to help test it. Once it has been fully tested, it will likely be released into the stable branch where all can use it. Patience!

Also, know that the icons in the top left of each Biki entry offer meaningful information regarding that page's command.

So basically changing Arma 3 into the Beta programm "Developement build" ?

I am wondering why the other waypointLoiter commands made it into the stable build but altitude.

 

Anywho thanks for the explaination

As I said, it is a new command.

I think it’s in the stable branch since the 1.98 release a couple of weeks ago. So you should be able to use it even if Notepad++ is complaining. The sqf language definition file of your Notepad++ seems to need an update.

[Harzach 2505]

Biki says introduced in dev 1.99.

No mention in SPOTREPs yet.

[pierremgi 4737]

For Arma 3  2.0 ?

It doesn't have anything to do with notepad++. You can code with the windows text editor without any syntax highlighting and run scripts without getting any errors. If the game doesn't know the command it's the game which throws an error.

Don't worry I am relaxed - just saying the problem isn't my editor and even if my editor knew it as a command I still will get the same error message from ArmA
