onMapSingleClick

[Somerville 0]

Hi,

I need a variable (_pos) to get the position of onMapSingleClick.

Kinda like _pos = getpos (onMapSingleClick) basically. I'm editing Mr-Murray's artillery script (I started a while ago, and abandoned it due to lack of time), and i'm just wondering if somebody could help?

Thanks,

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly, but _pos is actually the variable that would contain the coordinates of your map click.

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">onMapSingleClick "hint format[""%1"", _pos]; onMapSingleClick """"";

This would display the position you clicked, which shows that onMapSingleClick passes the players map single click coordinates into _pos. If you want to keep that value, and wait for another map single click, just store it in another variable; _firstclick = _pos;

Hope this helps..

If it *has* to be _pos in your script, try this:

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

GlobalPos = "JUNK";

onMapSingleClick "GlobalPos = _pos; onMapSingleClick '';";

waitUntil{GlobalPos != "JUNK"};

_pos = GlobalPos;

onMapSingleClick {"eart" setMarkerPos _pos; ewayposx = (_pos select 0); ewayposy=(_pos select 1)}

_pos is the whole package x,y,z variables....

ewayposx = (_pos select 0) is the x variable. etc.....

hope this helps

Nah mate. Not a good explanation at all. And i copied it into a new sqs file, and it gives a an error saying

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">"Type code, expected string".

I'm having the same issue here.

It just wont work.

i want to click on the map where i want team 'alpha' to go, and marker to show up on the map also.

can some one please help, and explain clearly what it does plese?

I think that example was OFP code.

For SQS, try:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">onMapSingleClick ' "eart" setMarkerPos _pos; ewayposx = (_pos select 0); ewayposy=(_pos select 1) '

Note the single quotes allow embedding double quotes inside, or you could have used paired double quotes.

I'll try it right now...

EDIT:  it worked!  I can move a marker around the map.

I have one more question, whats the code to make a goup move to that marker?  is it;

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

becose this wont work
