Title: Gamelogic name
Post by: johan_d2 on 20 Jan 2006, 16:55:21

Hi,

I searched, but couldnt find..

When I name a gamelogic like WP1, how in a script can I get that name in a variable?
The NAME command gives random names, very strange.

WP1 is the variable.   If you name something WP1, then you can use that in a script.  For example:-

WP1 setPos getPos WP2

Hi,

Well, I have a trigger covering an area, to harvest all the logics. They are in an array.
If I check the names of the logics, against another array, the WPx names dont show up, but instead I have things like Bravo Black.

_convldr = _this select 0

_logics = List LogicList

_lognam = ["wp1","wp2","wp3","wp4"]

_cl = (count _logics)

#loop

_rndom = random _cl
_rndom = _rndom - (_rndom mod 1)

_rndomLogic = _logics select _rndom

_c = 0

#checkwp
_b = _lognam select _c
_a = _rndomlogic
hint format ["%1 namelog %2 namelognam", _a, _b]
~1
? _a == _b: goto "moveass"
_c = _c + 1
? _c == _cl:hint "error, no WPx found"; exit
goto "checkwp"

#moveass

_convldr move getpos (_rndomLogic)

#loop1
_c = _convldr distance _rndomlogic
hint format ["%1 distance %2 ", _rndom,_c]
?((_convldr distance _rndomLogic) < 10):goto "loop"
~10
Goto "loop1"

Logics are treat similarly to units, they have group names and have unit names

if you try to return the name logic, it will give you the group/unit assignment name, eg alpha black 2

in your _lognam array, you place speech marks around each logic variable name, this is incorrect, it should read

_lognam = [wp1,wp2,wp3,wp4]


only marker variablenames, or strings need speech marks around them

If you give a GameLogic (or any other object for that matter) a name, then the way to refer to it in a script is to use the name you gave it.  

So if you give a name to a GameLogic GL1 (by puttiing it the name in the Name field) then in a script you refer to that game logic by writing GL1  NB NOT "GL1" and certainly not name GL1

@terox

the _logname is the array of checkup, not the actual logics

@thobson

Well, the _logics is filled array from LIST triggername.
So all the logics from the map are in this array, _logics.

Now, when I randomly select one logic from the _logics array, and move the
group to there works well. no problem here, but;
I want to compare the logic to another array, so the names are only
used for this script if in _lognam.
This prevents groups getting a logic like the famous 'server' logic as waypoint.

So the main question is: how on earth do I compare them?

Instead of:

Code: [Select]

_lognam = ["wp1","wp2","wp3","wp4"]have you tried:

Code: [Select]

_lognam = [wp1,wp2,wp3,wp4]???

The names are variables not srtings

IT DID THE TRICK!

Sorry @terox

I was thinking of the exact name, but its a strange thing.

Altough a logic is named WP1 for example, its internally referred to ita alpha black etc.. very frustrating!

Thanks a million!.
