Any idea how to make this work?

[Wiket 0]

I am a VERY novice scripter and I normally wouldn't ask for help but I cant figure out how to pull a variable name from an array in this instance (the classnames are from a mod I have on)

scrap = ["ar_scrap_airfilter","ar_scrap_old_cartridges","ar_things_weapon_parts_low","ar_things_weapon_parts_med","ar_things_weapon_parts_high","ar_scrap_electronic","ar_scrap_can_empty","ar_scrap_scrapmetal","ar_scrap_rustymetal","ar_scrap_rustycomponent","ar_scrap_gasmask","ar_scrap_rubbertube","ar_things_boards","ar_things_bottle_plastic_empty”,ar_things_rope_old","ar_things_hook","ar_things_bottle_glass_empty","ar_scrap_assaultrifle","ar_scrap_submachinegub","ar_scrap_pistol","ar_scrap_rifle","ar_garbage_tatteredpaper","ar_clothes_bundle_small","ar_clothes_diverpack","ar_clothes_oldrubberboots","ar_clothes_olduniform","ar_clothes_oldleatherbag","ar_containers_machineparts","ToolKit"];  
private _box1 = ["scraplo", "scraplo_1", "scraplo_2", "scraplo_3"];
[SelectRandom _box1] addItemCargo [select Random scrap,1];

or instead could I do it using thisList in a trigger area? Still causes same issue though

are the scraplo, scraplo_1 etc object names in the editor?

 

if so something like this should work:

 

private _box1 = [scraplo, scraplo_1, scraplo_2, scraplo_3];    // Note no quotes, each word is a variable name

(SelectRandom _box1) addItemCargo [selectRandom scrap,1];

 

not sure about addItemCargo, it depends on what type of object you are adding the gear

thisList refers to a preset condition of your trigger (like: BLUFOR Present) . It's not a custom list.

Thanks worked perfectly!
