Title: call compile format...
Post by: Garcia on 05 Jan 2009, 08:01:56

Code: [Select]

call compile format["""Marker_%1"" = createMarker [""Dot"", position player ]",_i];
Get error about missing ';' :dunno:

Have you tried

Code: [Select]

call compile format["""Marker_%1"" = createMarker [""Dot"", position player ];",_i];
?

Cheers...

Somehow I misread "String = createMarker ["name", position]" for "String = createMarker [type, position]" ::)

That's what you get for sitting late trying to script... :blink:

Or, avoiding dynamic code entirely (always a good plan!):

Code: [Select]

_marker = createMarker ["Marker_" + str _i, position player];
_marker setMarkerType "Dot";

I've got to learn all these new functions they've added...some are quite useful :D
