Post by: sfc.itzhak on 19 Nov 2007, 18:48:31

hey all

wanted to ask is it possible to get the name of a unit like if i name it tank18 and i want
to make an init event that it will take the name and compere it to names in the sqs and
will apply other scripts by it.

to clarify :

i place a tank and name it tank18

the script need to read the units name and apply the other script which is assigned to the name tank18

thanks for the help.

Umm. The clarification didn't help me very much  :D Maybe give us a more practical example? What are you trying to do with "tank18" exactly? What scripts are you using? Right now I don't think I can be of much help as it is.  :dunno:

Wolfrug out.

This command might help: _vehiclename = vehicleVarName (vehicle player);
_vehiclename is returned as string.
