Description
- Description:
- Description needed
- Multiplayer:
- The variable space of the object is local to each client and by default changes are not broadcast.
Since Arma 2: If the public parameter for supported types is true, the value will be synchronized also for a JIP player. - Groups:
- MultiplayerVariables
Syntax
- Syntax:
- Syntax needed
- Parameters:
- varspace: Namespace, Object, Group, Team_Member, Task, Location, Control, Display - variable space in which variable can be set
- [name, value]: Array
- name: String - variable name
- value: Anything - variable value
- Return Value:
- Return value needed
Alternative Syntax
- Syntax:
- varspace setVariable [name, value, public]
- Parameters:
- varspace: missionNamespace, Object or Group - variable space in which variable can be set
- [name, value, public]: Array
- name: String - variable name
- value: Anything - variable value (if public is true, check publicVariable for what types are supported for broadcast)
- public: Boolean, Number or Array of Numbers
- Boolean - when true, the variable broadcast is global and persistent GEGlobal
- Number - the variable is set only on the client of given owner (clientOwner) id, or if id is negative, the variable is set on every client except the given one
- Array of Numbers - array of owner (clientOwner) ids
- Return Value:
- Nothing
Examples
- Example 1:
_myTruck setVariable ["myPublicVariable", 123, true];- Example 2:
_myTruck setVariable ["myLocalVariable", ["321", _var], false];- Example 3:
missionNamespace setVariable ["myName", "KK"]; hint myName; //KK- Example 4:
- Get current value of a variable and if it is undefined, define it and get the defined value:
private _var = missionNamespace getVariable "varName"; if (isNil "_var") then { missionNamespace setVariable ["varName", 123]; _var = 123; }; // _var here will contain current value of the variable varName
