Were you ever looking for nice PvP game in ArmA2? A mission you only have to join to play right away? A game mode that features endless tactical possibilities which suits clanwars and publicservers at the same time? Let's face it: There are way too less PvP missions for Armed Assault 2. But now there is change: rp-mods.com is proud to be present ArmA Strike, a new high quality PvP mission by Issetea and Fewo, featuring two different game modes. Read more with screenshots...

Updated changelog on the first page (This version is currently online). - changed: Players are able to enter the copbase, but it's a safe zone (Kills will be punished automatically, vehicles can't be lockpicked, bombs can't be used) - changed: Storage in copbase 2 (Same as in Copbase 1) - added: System for cloth - added: Kevlar suit for police units - added: Items - Kevlar west/trousers/gloves in a new factory - added: Items - Small Backpack Chernarus Life 1.00 Beta is currently running as open beta - Feel free to join. Password can be found at www.rp-mods.com Please report all bugs you find.

Yes, this mod works with the "normal" Armed Assault version which is included in the gold version.

Chernarus Life is a multiplayer mission designed for 3 to 32 players. Here is the first Sahrani Life 1.69 -> Chernarus Life 1.00 Changelog: Version 1.10: Version 1.12: Version 1.13: Version 1.14: Version 1.15 Version 1.20 Version 1.21 Keep in mind: Chernarus Life needs you!

Although i think that this could be useful I didn't find a suggestion for it yet: A command for sending something to a single client only. PublicVariable is a useful command but i guess it produces a lot of lag if a single client wants to communicate with the server and everyone else receives the same (for them useless) data. Something like "Variable" sendTo PlayerObj would be nice.

I just replaced 260 loops and it works. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for your reply again. I'd like not to use exitWith anymore but since we are using it 650 times this might be a problem. The breakTo command and all the other scope related commands seem to work fine though.

The value printed is always the value returned by the "exitWith". If we return true the output of amount will be true, but only in the same "hint format" the function is called. Since the amount variable stays 10 (As the second output shows), the variable is never really changed (or if, it's somehow magically changed back) The following line in the script above would output "true" for the amount variable in the first output. if (((_arr select _c) select 0) == _this) exitWith { _Fobjarray = _arr select _c; true }; And this one "test123" if (((_arr select _c) select 0) == _this) exitWith { _Fobjarray = _arr select _c; test123 }; EDIT: Well thinking about it, changing the amount variable inside the function will change the amount variable outside of the function as long as it's not in the private array. However, there's no reason for it to be changed by the exitWith I think.

While still converting some ArmA1 scripts to ArmA2 we've encountered a ?bug? in the exitWith command. Can someone tell me whether I'm using it wrong or it's a real ArmA bug please? Here is a small example of the exitWith in ArmA2 (The function doesn't make much sense but it's just an example): // Searches given Parameter in the array "_arr" and returns the array. In this example it returns: [1] for parameter: 1 INV_getitemArray = { private ["_c", "_Fobjarray", "_arr"]; _Fobjarray = []; _arr = [[1]]; for [{_c=0}, {_c < (count _arr)}, {_c=_c+1}] do { if (((_arr select _c) select 0) == _this) exitWith { _Fobjarray = _arr select _c; /* true */ }; }; hint "Still returns the array after exit."; _Fobjarray }; INV_getitemName = { ((_this call INV_getitemArray) select 0) }; _amount = 10; hint format["Test-1: %1, %2", _amount, (1 call INV_getitemName)]; hint format["Test-2: %1, %2", _amount, 1]; Output: "Still returns the array after exit." "Test-1: <null>, 1" <- Amount should be 10, instead, it's the reutned value of the exitWith block. "Test-2: 10, 1" Notes Replacing "exixtWith" with "then" fixes the problem. If we return true (At the comment above), the _amount variable in the first output will be "true" as well, in the second, it will be 10 again.

Solved the Problem. The exitWith behaviour (used in the function "INV_getitemName") in Armed Assault II seems to be different. Not exactly sure where the difference is though - It still exists a loop and continues and the function returns the correct value. Gonna test more tomorrow.

While converting Sahrani Life to ArmA2 we've encountered a strange problem: First of all the content of all variables: _author -> "Server" _period -> 20 (_minprize call ISSE_str_IntToStr) -> returns 50 (_objid call INV_getitemName) -> returns "Bank insurance" _amount -> 10 Here are the commands used for output hint format["Added new Auction object 1: %1, %2, %3, %4, %5.", _amount, (_objid call INV_getitemName), (_minprize call ISSE_str_IntToStr), _author, (_period)]; hint format["Added new Auction object 2: %1, %2, %3, %4, %5.", _amount, (_objid call INV_getitemName), "", _author, (_period)]; hint format["Added new Auction object 3: %1, %2, %3, %4, %5.", _amount, (_objid call INV_getitemName)]; hint format["Added new Auction object 4: %1, %2, %3, %4, %5.", _amount, (_objid call ISSE_DummyFunction), "", _author, (_period)]; hint format["Added new Auction object 5: %1, %2, %3, %4, %5.", _amount, "", "", _author, (_period)]; Here are the results Added new Auction object 1: <null>, Bank insurance, 50, Server, 20. Added new Auction object 2: <null>, Bank insurance, , Server, 20. Added new Auction object 3: <null>, Bank insurance, , , . Added new Auction object 4: 10, 4412, , Server, 20. Added new Auction object 5: 10, , , Server, 20. Somehow the amount variable only shows up when the (_objid call INV_getitemName) function is not called. Right before the first output the varaible is "10" as well. Edit: All local variables in the INV_getitemName function are declared private. Thanks in advance, Issetea
