Description

Description:
Executes the given command(s) on every item of an array. The array items are represented by _x. Plural commands are executed within one frame, so this command might cause performance loss when used on very large arrays or with very complex commands. In ArmA2, the variable _x is always local to the foreach block so it is safe to nest foreach commands.
Groups:
Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:
command forEach array
Parameters:
command: String
array: Array
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
{_x setdammage 1} forEach units group player


This command can also easily be used to execute a single command multiple times without respect to the array items.

{player addMagazine "M16"} forEach [1,2,3,4]
Example 2:
You can also use multiple commands in the same block.
{_x setCaptive true; removallWeapons _x; doStop _x;} forEach units group this
