PRIVATE = [] or PRIVATE []

[Lacota]

Hi, I am confused as to which is the correct way to declare private variables in scripts. I have seen many examples with PRIVATE ["_somevar","_someothervar"]; but I get an "Unknown Operator" error whn I try to run them. PRIVATE = [] works for me in that I don't get an error but not sure if the scope is being set correctly.

I am running OFP Res 1.96

Thanks

Use private for functions (sqf code) you will execute with call command.

Code: [Select]

private["_var1", "_unit", "_whatever"];

To declare local variables in sqs code, just initialize them assigning a value.

Code: [Select]

_inrange = false

Thanks Mondoble but if I enter "private[];" without "=" I get the Unknown Operator error I mentioned. It even indicates that the error is between the private keyword and the square brackets.

Are trying that in SQS or SQF?
If SQS, you dont need private at all.
private = [whatever here] will define a global variable named private.

private command
