Variable Naming

#1 You need to use the eval() command when constructing syntax strings you wish to execute.

Try:

%str="$"@"f"@%x@" = f"@%x@";"
eval(%str);

#2 Eval("$"@"f"@%x@" = f"@%x@";");

That did it, thank you

#3 For(%z = 1; %z <= $tfu; %z=%z +1)
{
eval(%win@"="@"$"@"fx"@%z@".x;");
eval(%unit@"="$"@"f"@%z@");

if(%win > $selectstart.x && %win < $selectend.x)
{
selectunit(%unit);
}

grr stuck agian. Okay in this one I have 3 variable already created these variables hold the position of the 3 selected objects from before. The variables are $fx1, $fx2, $fx3. This loop is supposed to cylcle through each variable and first associate it X position with %win then run it through the if statment and if it passes it will send the appropriate variable ($f1, $f2, $f3) to the function select unit.

Once agian I am getting Parse Errors :/

#4 Try

[b]f[/b]or(%z = 1; %z <= $tfu; %z[b]++[/b])
{
   eval(%win@"="@"$"@"fx"@%z@".x;");
   eval(%unit@"="$"@"f"@%z@");

   if([b]([/b]%win > $selectstart.x[b])[/b] && [b]([/b]%win < $selectend.x[b])[/b])
   {
      selectunit(%unit);
   }
}

The 'for' keyword should be lower case and you need brackets when doing compound logical statements. The %z++ instead of %z=%z+1 is optional, but more elegant.

#5 You need a semi-colon in that second eval line.

#6 Eval is an invaluable tool for making some clever script... as well as for creating some ugly and hard to debug code if not careful =0
