Returning array as variable

[ViktorReznov]

Hard to explain what im looking for in topic. Im trying to reference an object with cursor target, verify it is in an array, return name of array to use as a variable for further code. Ive done some reading on the a2 scripting forums but didnt find what I was looking for. please assist if possible. Thanks very much

So you want to use an unknown array as variable to use it in further code? Am I right there?

Could you explain why you need that? Maybe there is an easier solution. I only know that you can get the name of an array by sending it to an eventhandler. Just try to explain what you are trying to do.

array1 = [some stuff in here]

array2 = [some other stuff]

array3 = [array1 + array2]

cursortarget returns true that class is indeed in array3

now I want to extract which array it really came from and use that array name as a variable to determine other code

it was an original overdrawn thought to getting a vehicles class name from an all encompassing target array solely for cursorTarget purposes and then wanted to use subclass arrays to have different addAction effects using the name of the subclass array as a variable. (it honestly made more sense in my head at the time but that was some powerful lack of sleep)

I have since figured out another way to achieve what I wanted but I am curious as to if it is possible to do?

Thanks for your time m8

_object = cursorTarget;

if(isNull _object) exitWith {};

if(_object in array1) then {

your code here

);

if(_object in array2) then {

your code here

);

if(_object in array1 && _object in array2) then {

your code here

);

Thanks for the response mate! Its basically what i ended up doing. I believe I was overcomplicating it in my thought process
