Wow this wasn't here this morning!

If you want the forEach command to create a list of unit positions try:

Code: [Select]

_positions = []
{_positions = _positions + [getPos _x]} forEach units group playerI haven't tested it but it looks like it should work

EDIT:
If you want an array of positions of all the unit in the player's group - but not the player (and I think you do want that if I remember your script correctly) then try:

Code: [Select]

_positions = []
{_positions = _positions + [getPos _x]} forEach ((units group player) - [player])

[paddy]

Code: [Select]

_pos_array = []
{_pos_array = _pos_array + [(getpos _x)]} foreach _eastunits
hint format ["%1",_pos_array]

WAHH!!

I thought 'foreach' only worked with a string like in the comref, can this be true, can BIS comref be inaccurate again?

[THobson]

ForEach works with any set of instructions.  These instructions are defined within a string.  Some people use "" to identify the string and some prefer {}

That's news to me, well thanks guys.  This has definitly solved my dilemma.

However i'll leave the post open for another few days just incase someone else has questions or any brainwaves.

I just wanted to pop in and say that we did offer the same solution as THobson before all the editing went bananas, so it might have been missed because of that ;D

'My apologies for inconviniencing'...

Next time I will think before posting, I swear...

I see it/them now. Replies#9 & 10.  

Last night I was in a hurry, I saw the question, skimmed some of the replies - saw some attempts to use format to get forEach to return a value, followed by lots of smileys so I stuck in my two cents worth.   Indeed you both had it right way back.

Next time I will think read before posting, I swear...

Possibly

I'm not trying to have a pissin' contest here

Just saying that there actually was some logic in the smiley/edit chaos back there... somewhere... prolly...
