Array of arrays

[McArcher 0]

Does arma support array of arrays or array of mixed variables? If yes, what doesn't it like in this code??

if (not isServer) then 
{ 
private ["_n", "_crate", "_patternW", "_patternA", "_crateArray", "_i"];
_crate = _this select 0;
_n = _crate getVariable "crateID";
_patternW = [];
_patternW = + mcti_RUweapons_defaultNumbers;
_patternA = [];
_patternA = + mcti_RUmagazines_defaultNumbers;
mcti_JIP_crates = mcti_JIP_crates + [_crate, _patternW, _patternA];
publicVariable "mcti_JIP_crates";

// applying patterns
_crateArray = mcti_JIP_crates select _n;
_crate = _crateArray select 0;
_patternW = _crateArray select 1;
_patternA = _crateArray select 2;
clearMagazineCargo _crate;
clearWeaponCargo _crate;
_i = 0;
{
	if (_x > 0) then { _crate addWeaponCargo [ mcti_weapons_pattern select _i, _x] };
	_i = _i + 1;
} forEach _patternW;
_i = 0;
{
	if (_x > 0) then { _crate addMagazineCargo  [ mcti_magazines_pattern select _i, _x] };
	_i = _i + 1;
} forEach _patternA;

player groupChat format ["Crate #%1 initialized.", _n];
};

.rpt:

maybe some special syntax needed?

Wild guess: it has something to do with Russian... Use english config entries.

AFAIK arrays in arrays (in arrays etc) support any kind of variable setup.

The Russian is his game version trying to be helpful with translated RPT errors. I get them in Czech.

If I'm not mistaken it says "Type object, expected array, config entry".

The problem is that _crateArray isn't an array of objects, it's a single object.

Ah. Damn Russian :p

Maybe mcti_JIP_crates = mcti_JIP_crates + [[_crate, _patternW, _patternA]]; would help?

Ah. Damn Russian :p

Maybe mcti_JIP_crates = mcti_JIP_crates + [[_crate, _patternW, _patternA]]; would help?

great! that works! thanks very very much :)

what do [['s mean ?

It's an array inside an array.

[Murklor 10]

Aye. When you add _crate, _patternW and _patternA using just [] you simply added them to the end of the mcti_JIP_crates array, not as a new array with the three variables. [[]] add a new array.

I missed that earlier, my eyes get sore from looking at scripts sometimes.
