Title: HintC and Arrays
Post by: Lone~Wolf on 18 Feb 2010, 18:22:27

How would I be able to HintC format etc. so that it displayed every unit in an array - or rather, their name in text - and their x and y co-ordinates.

I'm trying to create a system whereby I can determine all the units that have died over the course of the mission and the positions of those still alive.

 :dunno:

Not entirely sure how to approach your overall problem. But in response to your question, use a script like this. Place a trigger with name triggername, set to anybody present, and run the script with parameters:

Code: [Select]

[list triggername] exec "hintclist.sqs"
Made with care by RKurtzDmitriyev productions. No animal testing was used.  :P

Code: [Select]

_a = _this select 0

_c = 0

_n = 0

_d = ""

titleText ["Generating list...(this may take a moment)","plain"]

#loop

~0.1

_o = _a select _c

_s = format ["%1 \n %2\n", _o, [getpos _o select 0, getpos _o select 1]]

_d = _d + _s

_c = _c + 1

_n = _n + 1

? _n < 13 && (_c < count _a): goto "loop"

hintC format ["%1", _d]

? _c == count _a : titleText ["done","plain"]; exit

titleText ["Generating next page","plain"]

_d = ""

_n = 0

goto "loop"

Sorry to be a while in replying, and thx for the script.
I'm not sure how to use it but I'll figure that out some other time.

Thanks,
