Title: Public variables
Post by: popS on 25 Jan 2005, 17:32:27

Im having trouble getting access to public variable in a script.
The variable is declared in a different script.
In script A:

Code: [Select]

WestFlag = WestFlag + [_flag]
PublicVariable "WestFlag"
In script B:

Code: [Select]

?!(Flag1 in WestFlag) : JumpOnLeftLegScreemingImALuckyPotatoe^^^^^^^^^^^^
This part look like its not working. It looks like the array "WestFlag" is empty.

"WestFlag" should be an array of objects, since "_flag" should be a flag. "Flag1" should also be a flag.

Maybe I shouldnt use public variables at all?

In your init.sqs before any reference to WestFlag try adding the following line :

Code: [Select]

WestFlag = []
to initialise the array.  Then you can add elements to it.  You only need to use PublicVariable when you want to update the WestFlag array on all clients and the server.
