Trouble parsing variables as params

[JulesMK2 2]

Hi there, recently I stumbled across an "Amin Menu" tutorial and sadly the creator dropped it at 3 videos. I am trying to work on the next part he was going to include as a learning experience but I am unable to parse a variable from one function into another.

Currently I have a function which gets the selected unit which works absolutely fine. I tried to make the variable global so it could get accessed outside of the scope but I can't parse it in via the .HPP. Is anybody able to shed some light?

adminMenu.hpp

//User selection class
class playerSelectionBtn: RscButton
{
	idc = 1600;
	onMouseButtonClick = "(lbCurSel 1500) call JC_fnc_playerSelected;";

	text = "SELECT"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
	x = 0.664062 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
	y = 0.346 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
	w = 0.091875 * safezoneW;
	h = 0.028 * safezoneH;
};
//Teleport button class
class adminTeleport: RscButton
{
	idc = 1601;
	onMouseButtonClick = "['unit'] call JC_fnc_teleportToPlayer;"; //Here I try to parse unit into the function

	text = "TELEPORT"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
	x = 0.250625 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
	y = 0.22 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
	w = 0.091875 * safezoneW;
	h = 0.028 * safezoneH;
};

fn_playerSelected.sqf
 

params ["_index"];

unit = (switchableUnits select _index); //Change the variable to global

if (!(isNull(unit))) then {
	unit setDamage 1;
	hint name unit;
} else {
	hint "No player selected";
};

fn_teleportToPlayer.sqf
 

params ["_unit"]; //Attempt to "fetch" unit inside the params
hint format["Teleporting to: %1", _unit]; //Initial test to see if unit was there. Did have ",name _unit" but that returned a generic error
player setPos( getPos _unit);

take off the single quotation marks from unit, then the unit should be properly passed to the JC_fnc_teleportToPlayer function

Ok so I have tried what was suggested and it seems like it (fn_teleportToPlayer) still isn't getting access to the variable. I then thought this could be due to it being on an event handler rather than the "action" property buttons can have. So I tried it on "action" and this is my result:

 

adminMenu.hpp
 

		class adminTeleport: RscButton
		{
			idc = 1601;
			//onMouseButtonClick = "[unit] call JC_fnc_teleportToPlayer;";
			action = "[unit] call JC_fnc_teleportToPlayer;";

			text = "TELEPORT"; //--- ToDo: Localize;
			x = 0.250625 * safezoneW + safezoneX;
			y = 0.22 * safezoneH + safezoneY;
			w = 0.091875 * safezoneW;
			h = 0.028 * safezoneH;
		};

fn_teleportToPlayer.sqf

params ["_unit"];
hint format["Teleporting to: %1", name _unit];
player setPos( getPos _unit);

I have tried: unit | _unit in both files. The hint also returns a blank space for _unit but "any" for unit

I think you need to click the select button first to assign a value to the unit variable

Of course! The select function is what gets the units index... Thanks 😄

Why use unit from clicking the other button, why not just do exactly the same as the other button lbCurSel and then get the unit from the selected index.

Yeah I suppose I could and that would keep it all in its own functions. I will have to redo it later. Thanks for the suggestion!
