Array Help [GIVEN UP + CLOSED]

[Rommel92]

The script below deletes Groups out of an array which is setup like this: [[Group1,Group2,Group3,Group4],[Group1,Group2,Group3,Group4],[Group1,Group2,Group3,Group4]] etc. It is designed to only delete only one of the sets of four. It does this great, however a trace (<NULL-GROUP>) is left behind, and I can't figure how to remove it. 

Code: (Disband.sqf) [Select]

_Disband =
{
private ["_group"];

_group = _this select 0;

{deleteVehicle _x} forEach units _group;
deleteGroup _group;
};

_side = _this select 0;
_platoon = _this select 1;

player groupChat format ["%1", _this];

_company = call compile format["%1COMPANY",_side];
_platoon = _company select (_platoon - 1);

player groupChat format ["%1 --- %2", _company, _platoon];

{[_x] call _Disband} forEach _platoon;

_platoon = _platoon - _platoon;

player groupChat format ["%1 --- %2", _company, _platoon];

Solved

Sorry about this Mods, I won't post in future, I solve me own problems to quick... minimum two hours plus screaming only for posting up in future I thinks.

 

Code: [Select]

{[_x] call _Disband} forEach _platoon;

_platoon = _platoon - _platoon;

call compile format["%1COMPANY set [%2, %3]", _side, (_platoonN - 1), _platoon];

player groupChat format ["%1 --- %2", _company, _platoon];Was the answer... Forgot _platoon is local the script cause its a local variable... 

[Spooner]

This looks very, very fishy to me:

Code: [Select]

_platoon = _platoon - _platoon;

hehe.

_MenuStructureArray execVM "Dialogs\TCIM.sqf";Issue:

Error in expression <[2871] call PUM3_ClickButton; [[1,-1] 'MOVE'] call compile preProcessFile ''Sc>
  Error position: <'MOVE'] call compile preProcessFile ''Sc>
  Error Missing ]


Also, the find isn't working.

HELP ME OFPEC. PLEASE!
 


DESIRED RESULT

Code: [Select]

[[1,0], "MOVE"] execVM "WAYPOINT.SQF"
etc.

7 hours and counting on this one issue.

[Rommel92]

Nah no semi-colons were missing mate. Its simply a string error. I just can't get it figured... 

[loki72]

greetings,

just looking through your post.. this looks suspect

Code: [Select]

[format["%1",_x] + "SMenu",
i do see the other bracket it 'should have' at the bottom... have you tried the script without the added hint?

just throwing my 2 cents in

[Rommel92]

String of _x + "SMenu" = "_x" + "SMenu"

Say _x = 1.

"1SMenu".

These are dynamic arrays for a dialog.

[loki72]

right.. but i am only asking if this.

Code: [Select]

[format["%1",_x] + "SMenu",
should be this?

Code: [Select]

[format["%1",_x]] + "SMenu",
i've been trying to figure out the same dialog system and these questions, i am sure, will have bearing on what i do in the future.

[Rommel92]

Negative.

Its right the way it is, that menu works fine, if anyone wants I'll upload the mission to show.

[loki72]

don't know if i'll be a help but i'd be happy to load it up and give it a go.

[Rommel92]

There you go. Be back in 6 hours.

[loki72]

hmmm.. here's what i found.. and will need another to explain it to me.

it appears the issue is in this section:

order.sqf

Code: [Select]

_MenuWaypoints = _MenuWaypoints +
[
[ ["Item", _x] ,
["Action", format["[[%1,%2] '%3']  call compile preProcessFile ''Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf''",
_num, call compile format ["%1Result", side player],_x]],
["Close", true] ]
]
looks like this:


however.. by adding a "  it looks like this:



i'm not afraid to say it... this is beyond my current level of understanding... 

[Mr.Peanut]

Well, what does:

Code: [Select]

hint format["[[%1,%2] '%3']  call compile preProcessFile ''Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf''",1,0, "MOVE"]display? And why do you say you want execVM "Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf'' when you have put call compile preProcessFile ''Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf''?
After the ["Action", do you require a string or a code string?
If a string, and assuming you want execVM

Code: [Select]

_MenuWaypoints = _MenuWaypoints +
[
[ ["Item", _x] ,
["Action", format["""[[%1,%2] '%3']  execVM "''Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf''"",
_num, call compile format ["%1Result", side player],_x]],
["Close", true] ]
]

[Rommel92]

I was just referring to get it working, I havent got my PC for a week, so one of you guys could try out the solutions I'd be really thankful... else just post a few more possible answers and I'll try em on the weekend.

 

Thanks guys.

[loki72]

here's what i put:

Code: [Select]

_MenuWaypoints = [[ ["Item", "-"] ]];
{
_MenuWaypoints = _MenuWaypoints +
[
[ ["Item", _x] ,
["Action", format["""[[%1,%2] '%3']  execVM "''Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf''"",
_num, call compile format ["%1Result", side player],_x]],
["Close", true] ]
]
} forEach ["MOVE", "SAD", "GETIN NEAREST", "GETOUT", "TR UNLOAD", "GUARD", "SENTRY", "CLEAR ALL"];



here's what i got...



sry...

[Mr.Peanut]

Missed a quote. Ugh. Two guesses:

Code: [Select]

_MenuWaypoints = _MenuWaypoints +
[
[ ["Item", _x] ,
["Action", format["""[[%1,%2] ""%3""]  execVM "''Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf'""""",
_num, call compile format ["%1Result", side player],_x]],
["Close", true] ]
]

Code: [Select]

_MenuWaypoints = _MenuWaypoints +
[
[ ["Item", _x] ,
["Action", call compile format["{[[%1,%2] '%3']  execVM "''Scripts\TCIM\Waypoint.sqf''"}",
_num, call compile format ["%1Result", side player],_x]],
["Close", true] ]
]
