Problem with money script. HELP!

[Chris Death]

I see, i made a mistake when creating the array and it's subarrays;

"if (alive _x) then {cash_array = cash_array + [_x,0,0]}" foreach [w1,w2,w3,w4,e1,e2,e3,e4]

in init.sqs should be changed into:

Code: [Select]

"if (alive _x) then {cash_array = cash_array + [[_x,0,0]]}" foreach [w1,w2,w3,w4,e1,e2,e3,e4]

I just noticed another mistake i made:

The onActivation line of the trigger:

Code: [Select]

cash_array select temp_count set [3,temp_cash]; cash_update = false; publicVariable "cash_update"

should be changed into:

Code: [Select]

cash_array select temp_count set [2,temp_cash]; cash_update = false; publicVariable "cash_update"

Look: cash_array looks now like this:

[[unit1,cash,0],[uni2,cash,1],[unit3,cash,2]]

Now my mistake was i did change the counter (3rd element of the subarray).
But i should change the cash (second element of the subarray).

 I again copy / paste the codes...

 when script was executed there came a error :  'cash_update]l#l': error missing (     

 (again got a screenshot)

 P.S   you said:

Now into each unit's init field you only put:

this addEventHandler ["killed",{_this ecec {cash_update.sqs}}]

is that  ecec supposed be exec   

[Chris Death]

Yes it's supposed to be exec

Not 100% sure but the following line might be in error:

"publicVariable _x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count;cash_update]

I would suspect the last entry in the array, the emboldened part, try removing it.

I think it might be superfluous, however MP stuff is not my thing.

If the second instance of cash_update is correct then it might just need the semi-colon changed to a comma.

Not 100% sure but the following line might be in error:

"publicVariable _x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count;cash_update]

I would suspect the last entry in the array, the emboldened part, try removing it.

 that one diden't work...

[Planck]

Please be more precise, what did you try and what happened.

I meant for you to change:

"publicVariable _x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count;cash_update]

to

"publicVariable _x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count]

If that is what you did and it didn't work......what error message did you get after?


Planck

[tommi]

 I changed 

"publicVariable _x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count;cash_update]

to

"publicVariable _x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count]

and got a error messege :
 
 'publicVariable _xl#l': Error publicVariable : type Bool, expected String

[Planck]

I would wait and till CD comes back on the site for a definitive answer here.....as I said MP stuff is not really my thing.

In the meantime you could try instead:

publicVariable "_x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count]

 


Planck

[tommi]

 I tried  publicVariable "_x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count]...
 it di not work

 I understand MP stuff is not really your thing....

 thanks anyway 

 I'll try different variations of   publicVariable "_x" forEach [cash_update,temp_count]   

 

[Chris Death]

OK, i found the buggers in the publicVariable statement;

I sent twice the variable: cash_update
and i forgot: temp_cash instead.

"publicVariable _x" forEach ["temp_cash","temp_count","cash_update"]

There where the quotation marks missing.
PublicVariable "varname"
It's a string and i did just pv the pure variable name.

 OK now there dosen't come 'cash_update]l#l': error missing ( any more... thats good

 when I killed the first enemy the script was fine, but when I killed the second enemy unit there came a error messege:

'cash_array select temp_count setl#l [2,temp_cash]; cash_update = false; publicVariable "cash_array": Error Zero divisor

[Chris Death]

  i did nowhere say that you should publicVariable "cash_array", or did i?

You've put that by yourself me guess.

PublicVariable "cash_update"

But thinking about it, this trigger is running global, so you can leave the publicVariable "cash_update"
out of it also. But you must let remain the command: cash_update = false.

Either this version:

Code: [Select]

cash_array select temp_count set [2,temp_cash]; cash_update = false; publicVariable "cash_update"
or this one:

Code: [Select]

cash_array select temp_count set [2,temp_cash]; cash_update = false
:edit - well for better overview i'll make a sumarry of what we have now:

init.sqs

Code: [Select]

;init.sqs

cash_array = []
temp_cash = 0
temp_count = 0
cash_update = false

"if (alive _x) then {cash_array = cash_array + [[_x,0,0]]}" foreach [w1,w2,w3,w4,e1,e2,e3,e4]

_i = 0
_count = count cash_array

#loop

(cash_array select _i) set [3,_i]

_i = _i + 1
?(_i < _count): goto "loop"

Init field of each unit:

Code: [Select]

this addEventHandler ["killed",{_this exec {cash_update.sqs}}]

cash_update.sqs

Code: [Select]

;cash_update.sqs

@!cash_update
"if (_this select 1 == _x select 0) then {temp_cash = (_x select 1);temp_count = (_x select 2); temp_cash = temp_cash + 40}" forEach cash_array

cash_update = true
"publicVariable _x" forEach ["cash_update","temp_count","cash_update"]
exit

Trigger:

Code: [Select]

size: 0/0
activation: none / repeatedly
condition: cash_update
onActivation: cash_array select temp_count set [2,temp_cash]; cash_update = false

OK, i hope i sorted all errors out now.

I dont know WTF is wrong with the Trigger...     

 I have onActivation: cash_array select temp_count set [2,temp_cash]; cash_update = false

 still getting a error messege: 'cash_array select temp_count setl#l [2,temp_cash]; cash_update = false : Error Zero divisor 

[Chris Death]

  I can't try it out but maybe it doesn't work to use the set command on a subarray in that way.

OK try this workaround:

Code: [Select]

temp_array = cash_array select temp_count; temp_array set [2,temp_cash]; cash_array set [temp_count,temp_array]; cash_update = false
maybe this helps
