hello all, i have a few qs
1. Can pawns have mulitple targets?
2.i want to check the distance with mulitple pawns WITH OUT going to a new order or needing entity names

Call your Pawns ENEMY0, ENEMY1, ENEMY2, ENEMY3... and so on.
then in your order:

Code: Select all

for i=0 to NUMBER_OF_ENEMIES
{
     if(DistanceTo("ENEMY" # Integer(i)) < DISTANCE_THAT_WAKE_ME_UP )
     {
         // do things ...
     }
}

eventually you can declare an array as variable to store those datas:

Code: Select all

PAWN_DISTANCE
{
     PAWN_DISTANCE0 [0]
     PAWN_DISTANCE1 [0]
     PAWN_DISTANCE2 [0]
     PAWN_DISTANCE3 [0]
     PAWN_DISTANCE4 [0]
     PAWN_DISTANCE5 [0]
     PAWN_DISTANCE6 [0]
}

I made seven members for this array, create how many you need. Then...

Code: Select all

for i=0 to NUMBER_OF_ENEMIES
{
     PAWN_DISTANCE[i] = DistanceTo("ENEMY" # Integer(i));
}

...so PAWN_DISTANCE[5] will store DistanceTo("ENEMY5");

Be careful: if NUMBER_OF_ENEMIES is bigger than your array, you will get an error.

thats a cool idea. i should use arrays more

yeah. Arrays were a great discovery for me...

wow. that's cool. i never knew you could use arrays. i have one question though: Does the index of an array start with 0 (like in c/C++) or with 1?

EDIT: Nevermind, i found out that the index starts with 0.
