Problem with Arrays and loaded saved game.

[squeeze 22]

if Array1 = Array2 changing either will change the other since they both point to Array1.

But I've found when you load a saved game changing Array2 dosen't change either Array1 or Array2, is this a bug or will it be fixed in the future.

using the set command to change array2

Array2 set[0,(Array2 select 0) + 1];

sample missions, works like you would expect, when loaded from saved game radio Bravo dosen't work, unless you use radio Alpha first.

Things like pointers get lost with saved games. Saving just writes the content of a variable to a text file.

One way round it is to add checks for a restored saved game into your code. The most vulnerable scripts are those that have loops running for any amount of time, or large scripts that contain a few sleep or While, forEach loops e.t.c

In Arma the Time command was reset once a saved game was loaded. So in your case you can grab the Time into a local variable. Then in your loops and after each Sleep command, do this:

_Blah=_This Select 0;

//Grab the scripts start time
_StartTime=Time;

Sleep 10;

//Restore the array pointers
If (Time<_StartTime) Then 
        {
	Array1 = Array2;
        _StartTime=Time;
        };

//Do something with the new array pointer
Array2 set[0,(Array2 select 0) + 1];

Hint Str (Array1 Select 0);
[/Code]

Not sure about this issue you are claiming (didn't run test) but you are always outputting the value of Array1 twice, rather than each of the separate arrays, which is misleading:

player sideChat format ["Array1 = %1  Array2 = %1", Array1, Array2]

It should be:

player sideChat format ["Array1 = %1  Array2 = %2", Array1, Array2]

lo,l here I was thinking saved games was a new feature in arma2 and looking for a new command, guess I paid the price for not having single player as part of my vocaublary......thanks UNN

bummer "time" and "servertime" are saved in Arma2.

Since nothing worked until I changed a "waituntil" to a "@" in the jip code in init.sqs I think

I may need to check if all players are null then array1 = array2.

there is a bis function for this, I'll try this next weekend.

waitUntil is an SQF command, whereas @ is the equivalent command in SQS. SQS is obsolete, so I'd avoid it as much as possible.

Well multiplayer saves are new...I think? JIP adds a whole new dimension to.

Init.sqs and init.sqf, along with AddAction script names. Are two of the few cases where the file extension you use dictates the expected script format. If you use init.sqf then the WaitUntil command will work ok.
