Title: Random Kill group script using init.sqs
Post by: Case on 10 May 2007, 23:42:23

I have bits and pieces (from reading here), of what I need to do.

What I eventually want to do, is create a random number, 0 or 1 and set dammage to a group of civilians to that number.  So basically, at the start of a mission either all the civilians are alive or dead.

I have created a group of civilians, and in the leader set init to 'grpCiv1 = Group This'.

For now, I am not randomizing the 0 or 1, I am just try to kill them all the time.

So,

In init.sqs I have:

"_x setdamage 1" foreach units grpCiv1;

This gives an error on mission load talking about string, expected code.

So, I create a radio trigger calling script that has the same line in it, but nothing happens when I activate the radio.

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

hmmm, let me see......I think.......

{_x setdamage 1} foreach units grpCiv1;

might be the answer.....possibly.

Thanks,

That worked perfectly, and just before you post I found a reference to the " being replaced by {} in Arma, thankfully, I can see how people had problems with using quotes...

Anyway, sorry for the newbie question, but thanks for the help.
