Why don't you set up a delay that shows you the delay so you can tell for sure when statements are being executed: _c = 0; while {_c < 6 } do { sleep 10; _c = _c + 1; systemChat ("_c=" + (str _c)); }; If you put that in place of your sleeps and can see other actions in the same script block executing before it's completed, then there is something weird going on with the script processing.

Can you explain where _x comes from in these statements? To me, these look like they would evaluate to something like: _Opfor = ({ alive nil and ( side nil) == east)} number of elements in array returned from _trigger); So for example 5 elements in the array: _Opfor = ({0 and 0 == east} 5); _x below is obvious: But I don't get where _x comes from in the other lines above.

It returns an array of strings and the array is unsorted. It appears to me that the array returned is in the order that the markers were created, but I did not test that.

You need a PBO utility to unpack the mission files. Then you can do the search and replace. Then you can pack the files back up. Keep in mind that if these PBO's are multiplayer, everyone needs the strings replaced, so it is likely that updates to missions will be coming out rapidly. PBO View

What type is returned? An array of map marker names (strings)?

The dialogs look good in that. I don't have that kind of knowledge right now, but it's something I'll be working on over time.

Sorry, the download link should work now.

If I have this define: #define OLIVEDRAB '#6B8E23' How do I get '#6B8E23' into a string, for example: _staticmsg = OLIVEDRAB; hintC _staticmsg; does not display '#6B8E23', instead it displays 6B8E23. Wrapping quotes around the constant results in the constant not being replaced with the #define, so I get OLIVEDRAB instead of '#6B8E23'. Are my defines bad for what I'm trying to do or is there a method to get the whole defined constant (including the ' 's) into a string variable?

Unfortunately str (OLIVEDRAB) doesn't work either. It produces 6B8E23 missing both ' and #. It also appears that # causes some issues. I tried removing the ' from the #define so that the define looked like this: #define OLIVEDRAB #6B8E23 What str (OLIVEDRAB) produces in that case is simply 6. A #define is not handled as expected if is a string with ' and # also causes issues with preprocessing. As a side note #define OLIVEDRAB "'#6B8E23'" does work, so I added a whole set of new #defines with RGB_colorname "'#xxxxxx'"

I like the str(OLIVEDRAB) idea, I had not thought of it and will try it out. #define OLIVEDRAB "'#6B8E23'" Wouldn't work out because there are a number of situations where the constant does not need to go into a string variable. I could have two versions of the define, one with and one without the quotes, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Is this not possible?

That doesn't work either.

You need to work on how you write, your syntax is probably what is going wrong. Here is what it looks like when written out a little better: _ALL_markers = ["base1","base2","base3","base4"]; _notCaptured []; { if ((getMarkerColor _x) != "ColorBlue" then { _notCaptured = _notCaptured + [_x] } } foreach _ALL_markers; You're missing a semi-colon, and you have a missing ")".

Maybe they will help somebody besides me.

It works great. Use it like this: _type = typeOf _object; _vehicleName = _type call ISSE_Cfg_Vehicle_GetName;

OK so TheMan was simply a variable, thanks.

#loop @TheMan distance TheFlag < 50 ManIsHere = true; publicVariable "ManIsHere" @TheMan distance TheFlag > 50 goto "loop" I tried searching, but it's pretty hard to search for "@" and get meaningful results.

Those routines look good, but where would they typically be placed? I assume that the functions would be called as needed.

I see this operator and I think bitshift, but I know that can't be what it means. I can't find mention of it on the wiki. _config = (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _type >> "Turrets") select _i;

The Xkeys device does not show up as a controller in Options-Controllers. It really isn't a controller, it is a type of HID (human interface device) and acts more like a keyboard, however I don't believe it generate scan codes in the same way that a keyboard does. I have seen this type of problem with other games, it usually ends up being that the developers altered the method of capturing keyboard input.

I have an XKeys programmable keypad that works quite well with Arma 2, but in Operation Arrowhead, no input what so ever is registered. The only logical reason I can think of is that OA is intercepting keyboard input via some method that is not compatible (kernel mode?). Does anyone know of a work-around for this problem?
