Description

Description:
Converts the supplied String into an Array of Numbers. The numbers in the created array are the decimal Unicode representations of characters.
Arma 3
Since v2.04 this command can also handle HashMaps. See alternative syntax.
Groups:
ArraysHashMapStrings

Syntax 1

Syntax:
toArray string
Parameters:
string: String
Return Value:
Array

Syntax 2

Syntax:
toArray hashMap
Parameters:
hashMap: HashMap
Return Value:
Array - Array in format [[key, key, ...], [value, value, ...]]

Syntax 3

Syntax:
hashMap toArray splitArrays
Parameters:
hashMap: HashMap
splitArrays: Boolean - See return value
Return Value:
Array - Array in either one of the following formats:
  • splitArrays: true - [[key1, key2, ...], [value1, value2, ...]]
  • splitArrays: false - [[key1, value1], [key2, value2], ...] This is very inefficient since the engine has to create many small arrays

Examples

Example 1:
hint format ["%1", toArray "AaŒ"];// Returns "[65,97,338]"
Example 2:
toArray _hashMap params ["_keys", "_values"];
