Title: Checking for a specific unit? (e.g. T72)
Post by: OFPfreak on 10 Dec 2005, 23:57:33

I know it's possible to check for a specific unit somehow, so I want to make it with my detailed checking script that if the player scrolls trough the information of car1 they can see what type of unit that is.

Use this to check for the type:
typeof _unit=="WhateverVehicleYouAreCheckingFor"

-Pilot

try this:

Code: [Select]

hint format ["The vehicle is a %1",typeof _carname]
perhaps pilot misread? ;D

I don't think so...maybe :P

I was just giving him a method he could use to incorporate into his script.  I wasn't sure if all OFPfreak wanted was a simple hint or something more in depth.

-Pilot

EDIT:
Hmph, the more I think about it the more I think you are right, Triggerhappy. >:( ;D  I was thinking OFPfreak wanted to incorporate this into some kind of dialog, but even in that case your method is right.
*grumble*

Ok thanks for that. No it's not a dialog. It's a HintC message (yes i know its cadet only).
