Title: Group commands that have quotations
Post by: Kyle on 11 Sep 2003, 23:49:15

Hey all,
   I have been having this problem since I got into making group commands (you know, "_x domove getpos base" foreach idiots; and all that).  My problem is when the command involves quotations.  The game gets confused ??? if I put something like: "_x setunitpos "UP"" foreach idiots.  I can't understand how to do this.  Some1 plz help fast so I can complete some missions!  :D

ChEeRs,
Sniper_Kyle ;D

The solution's hidden in the Command Reference as an example, but not explained very well.  Use curly brackets for code strings, not quotes:

{_x setunitpos "UP"} foreach idiots

Hope that moves you on!

You're right, the game doesn't like multiple quotes.    Fortunately you can use curly brackets { } instead of quotes.    Sometimes you need to experiment a bit to discover which set of " " need to be replaced with { } to make a line of code work.

Edit:  Damn, too slow again. :P
