it to the return array.


In the condition, the currently tested element is assigned to
|s1= [items, condition] call [[BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect]]
the variable "_x".


Care must be taken that the condition won't cause errors. For
|p1= items: [[Array]] - array to check
example, if your condition assumes all elements are numbers,
errors will occur if your array includes strings.


This function is similar to the "count" command, only it returns
|p2= condition: [[Code]] - selection code
the elements of the array that satisfy the condition, rather
than simply returning the count.


Example: [[10,0,8,2,6,4], {_x > 5}] call BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect
|r1= [[Array]]
Returns: [10,8,6]


Example: [[10,true,8,player], {typename _x == "STRING"}] call BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect
|x1= <sqf>[[10, 0, 8, 2, 6, 4], { _x > 5 }] call BIS_fnc_conditionalSelect; // will return [10,8,6]</sqf>
Returns: []
