noob questions

Hello.

I started with mission scripting only a day ago and while I understand alot of it, I find it really confusing in the same time.

One thing im particulary confused about is how the arrays work..

Right now, I have just been toying around with random ideas and

came up with a script to create 'suicide bombers'

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

_player = _this select 0

_group = _this select 1

setfire=true

titletext ["Click on the map to deploy your suicide solider","plain down"]

onMapSingleClick "h setpos _pos; setfire=false"

@!setfire

"Civilian" createUnit [getpos h, _group, "bomber = this"]

bomber addEventHandler ["killed",{"Bo_GBU12_LGB" CreateVehicle [getpos bomber select 0, getpos bomber select 1, getpos bomber select 2]}]

However this only works for one soldier at a time, So in order to have multiple suicide bombers spawned, each being able to explode upon death, I would need to put them in some sort of array wouldnt I ?

If anybody could be kind enough to help me, I would be really grateful

you already have the array, it's the players group, accessed with the F1,F2,F3,... etc keys.

what you need is a GOTO loop.

if you just started scripting you should use the *.sqf syntax....it better.

I mean like, in my script above.. I name all my units "bomber"..

Wont that cause a problem when I set a event handler for 'bomber' if there are several with the same name?
