So trigger condition for a group. {vehicle _x == _x}forEach units _grp? And vice versa?

Do I need to have them declared before I start a loop in order to use them after? I.e. _array = [];for from loop; _array = what was defined in loop?

so by declaring it private at the start it becomes available throughtout the whole function with out having to define a million variables? i.e. i have 10 different variable in the function, and don't want to use objnull, array = [], and etc a million times, i just need to declare a variable private at the start? Also when to use _x and when to use _forEachIndex?

?

_forEachIndex is something I've recently learned of thanks to MGI, i've just been using indexing in my other functions.

should all the variables used in the function be declared private?

so if i'm understanding right... after updating those two arrays, _return also needs to be updated instead of using _return = [_var1,_var2] or [_townArray,_miscArray] in my case?

restructured it and still not getting anything for the return value

never mind.... found it. never mind... still not working

f_markLocations = { _array = ( allMissionObjects "Logic" select{ !( _x isKindOf "Module_F" ) } ) - [ BIS_functions_mainscope ]; _numLogics = count _array; { _return = []; private["_idx","_pos","_count","_location"]; _obj = _array select _forEachIndex; _pos = getPosASL _obj; { _locations = nearestLocations[_pos,["nameVillage","nameCity","nameCityCapital","CityCenter","Hill","Strongpoint"],3000]; _townArray = []; _miscArray = []; _idx = 0; for "_i" from 0 to (count _locations) do { _location = _locations select _i; _pos = locationPosition _location; _str = format ["location%1%2",_idx,_type]; _mrk = createMarker [_str,_pos]; _mrk setmarkerColor "ColorRed"; _mrk setMarkerSize [1,1]; _idx = _idx + 1; { if(type _x != "Hill" and type _x != "Strongpoint") then { _miscArray pushBack _x; _mrk setMarkerType "O_Recon"; } else { _townArray pushBack _x; _mrk setMarkerShape "Ellipse"; _mrk setMarkerSize [50,50]; }; }forEach _locations; }; //hintSilent format ["%1:%2",_count,_numLogics]; }forEach _locations; _return = [_townArray,_miscArray]; }forEach _array; _return }; is not returning anything for a count in either of the indexes for _return is why I'm asking

Thanks to RCA, Davidoss, MGI, Larrow for helping put this together and for helping me understand some scripting commands better

Yeah just at a glance that's going to add a lot of depth to what I'm working on.

This is kind of the base of the framework I'm trying to establish. Parse all towns and strategic areas on the map(including mountain peaks)>>parse each towns building density/count>>parse the amount of roads in each location>>divide each town into quadrants. Using the returned values from those functions create dynamic patrols that move from section to section randomly garrisoning a random number of buildings before moving to the next quadrant rinse and repeat. I have LAMBS but haven't really dug into the function library.

I think I'm going to have restructure and rewrite a good chunk of this to get a decent structure that I want.

Trying to figure out the math for creating sectors or districts in towns without having to place a marker or trigger in the editor so you get roving patrols that move from sector to sector that garrison for a random period of time.

I'm in the process of making a framework that is based off of location sizes, nearRoads, and count of buildings in a defined radius. So i.e. you get a patrol that patrol the roads in the town, a group that moves from one random building to another, and a group that moves from random building to random building searching. It's kinda a pain in the .... because i'm trying to divide the city into quadrants and trying to find the math for it.

@pierremgi Does CBA have a dynamic building Garrison function that I'm not aware of? It is semi-dynamic... it parses buildings in a certain radius that have a buildingPosition based on the waypoint position i believe. Which is why I asked if the placement radius affected the behaviour of ai assigned to that waypoint. So it's a core function, meaning it provides the ability to make a dynamic garrison function

Does the placement radius have any effect? I.e. if you enlarge it do they just pick a random building within the radius that has a buildingPos?

Steam says all mods are upto date so : /

_locations = [] call F_getTowns;// the function works as intended and set to debug returns an array of locations parsed from F_getLocations _idx = 0; { _loc = _locations select _idx; _pos = locationPosition _loc; _str = name _loc; _strongpoints = nearestLocations[_pos,["StrongpointArea"],750]; _strongpoint = _strongpoints select _idx; _sPos = locationPosition _strongpoint; // do I need another forEach loop for _strongpoints inserted in this function? //here is where the function/scripts fails. As it is only creating one marker but there are 4 strongpoints being parsed _mrk = createMarker[_str,_sPos]; _mrk setMarkerColor "ColorRed"; _mrk setMarkerShape "Ellipse"; _mrk setMarkerSize [50,50]; _idx = _idx + 1; }forEach _locations;

There are registered strongpoints on the CUP Takistan map.

not what to use as the forEach command as there are also modules places in the editor. Also how do I filter out the modules? _array = []; { _count = 0; if(_x isKindOf "Logic")then { _array pushBack _x; _idx = _array select _idx; _pos = getPosASL _idx; _count = _count + 1; }; }forEach _whatDoIputHere?

thank god..... was pounding my head on this. I knew I was overlooking something simple.

How would I use this to generate a random group from a specific side? I've used it to generate a random faction from a certain side, what I'm trying to do is use this command to generate a random infantry group from a random faction.

Ah I see. Ddnt read all the through.
