Examples
- Example 1:
_msg = "hello"; _result = [[typeName]] _msg; // _result will be "STRING"
- Example 2:
_unit = [[player]]; _result = [[typeName]] _unit; // _result becomes "OBJECT"
- Example 3:
hint typeName 0; //SCALARhint typeName ""; //STRING hint typeName true; //BOOL hint typeName []; //ARRAY hint typeName {}; //CODE hint typeName objNull; //OBJECT hint typeName grpNull; //GROUP hint typeName controlNull; //CONTROL hint typeName teamMemberNull; //TEAM_MEMBER hint typeName displayNull; //DISPLAY hint typeName taskNull; //TASK hint typeName locationNull; //LOCATION hint typeName opfor; //SIDE hint typeName parseText ""; //TEXT hint typeName configFile; //CONFIG
hint typeName missionNamespace; //NAMESPACE- Example 4:
if (typeName _this != "ARRAY") exitWith { hint "_this is not an array!" } //is the same as if (typeName _this != typeName []) exitWith { hint "_this is not an array!" }
