currentCommand

[SenseleSS Violence 0]

Anyone got a working example of currentCommand

this code on a soldier returns nothing....

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">while{_loop > 0}do

{

_command = currentCommand _unit;

hintc format["%1",_command];

switch (_command)do

{

case "FIRE":{[_unit,_loop]execVM "shoot.sqf"};

};

sleep 5;

};

I send the _unit in this loop a radio command but hintc returns nothing and the switch/case control never exec's.

and I'm sober today ...just

EDIT: looks like the sleep 5; was to long, i dropped this down to .1 and when I selected a unit then clicked a enemy

"ATTACK AND FIRE" was displayed......which isn't in the wiki

Hmm, the Wiki also states that an empty string is returned, if the unit has no command.

From the Wiki:

<<Return the current command type (empty string when no command)>>

So the radio command that you send to the unit must be the cause of the problem. All units in initial state without being issued a waypoint will return empty string on currentcommand.

However the Wiki lacks a lot of information, that is true.
