Trying to get typeOf an AI but cant?

[RonnieJ 10]

Hey guys im having some problems identifying what kind og type an AI is...

_grp = [_pos, side, _units, [], [], skill] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

_grparray = units _grp;

{

_type = typeOf _x;

_x addeventhandler ["killed",{[_type] execVM "cash.sqf"}];

_x moveInCargo _boat;

} forEach _grparray;

If I debug the _type at this point I get RU_Soldier_GL .. but when passed on in the [] to cash.sqf its "any" ?? A bit confused... so what to do to find out what type a unit is and if man what type of man... that is really the question and how to pass it on to other scripts as params.

Thx

Forget about passing type at this point, just pass _this (no brackets). Check it in the cash.sqf instead:

_type = typeof (_this select 0);

This will give you the needed info inside cash.sqf

[GLT]Myke> Im pretty sure I tried that :S didnt give me any result either... thats why I tried this way insted...

I'd say go with [GLT]Myke's suggestion. I assume the _this parameter will be needed by that script anyway in order to obtain the killer (and the killed). Try a "hit" eventhandler instead. Try a landvehicle (maybe there is a problem with boats, I don't know). Try to not move him into anything. Does anything work? What does _this contain when it is hinted in cash.sqf?

Cant make it work...

When I parse _this

_x addeventhandler ["killed",{[_this] execVM "cash.sqf"}];

I get an error trying _type = typeof (_this select 0);

Something about being an array insted of an object...

Oh and _this in cash seems to be an array consisting of the player who was killed and last the person who killed him...

Ah... there we go... it was a simple matter of getting the right stuff from the array...

_type = typeof (_unit select 0);

[[frl]myke 14]

It is a matter of getting arrays right.

_x addeventhandler ["killed",{[_this] execVM "cash.sqf"}]; 

Putting _this in square brackets means putting a array in a array. Usually _this looks like this (PUN intended):

[victim, killer]

Putting square brackets around it, creates this (another PUN):

[[victim, killer]]

which is surely nonsense in this case.

OBJECT addeventhandler ["killed",{_this execVM "cash.sqf"}];

and then in the script:

_victim = _this select 0;
_killer = _this select 1;
