Need some input

[mrbean1112 0]

Hey guys... i need some input here.. i am making a zombie survival mission.. basically.. you will have to eat, sleep, and buy your own weapons. you get money for kills and various missions.

Here's the thing.... I have the sleep stuff goin well, but i need some ideas for eating.. right now the eating is a variable that is constantly increased... and at certain points it will have effects on the player.

now making the player "eat" would be simple.. just change w1hunger = w1hunger - 50

Now.. i need some times when the player could eat.. i have a guy who you can buy food from.. but all it does it sets w1hunger = w1hunger - (a number dependant on the food you buy)

However, i was wondering if there is any way i could like incoroprate objects into the game (Not new ones, use existing BIS ones/ other downloadable ones) because the players will be far away from places to buy food.. and i want them to have the option to eat without having to go to the market guy every time to eat.. even if i can just do this with the action menu... i figure it would go something like this

Buy Granola bar

w1 addaction ["eat granola bar",[granolabar.sqs"]

and in granolabar.sqs

_unit = this

?_unit == w1 : w1hunger == w1hunger - 50

?_unit == w2 : w2hunger == w2hunger - 50

yes, this mission is Multiplayer.

does anyone have any ideas on how to do this stuff easier? im pretty sure i am doing it in an ineffecient way.

example.. here is my hunger scripts

w1hunger = 1

#loop

?(player == w1):w1hunger = w1hunger + 1;

~10

goto "loop"

all it does is change all w1's to w2 for player 2.....

#w1hunger

?(w1hunger == 100): [] exec "KOHp1.sqs"

?(w1hunger == 150) :[] exec "VH1.sqs"

?(w1hunger == 200) :[] exec "S1.sqs"

goto "w1hunger"

that is the script that checks w1hunger. that also just changes for each player. and the numbers after Koh, Vh, and S are for the player.. as i have seperate scripts for each player.

I wrote this kind of confusing i know.. but if you can make out any of it.. help would be appreciated
