Currently I have a record with an array size of 10 that has 3 variables in it which are unitType, a text string, and a text tag. These are loaded up on Melee Initialization.
Does anyone know how I can search through this record array to see if any of the unitTypes in this record match the value I'm trying to compare it to? Basically what I'm asking is.. is there a simple way to do a for loop to search through this record, or do I have to do a bunch of triggers that feed off eachother to simulate a loop.
Basically all I'm trying to do here is store off a text tag and kill it off at a later date since "Last Created Text Tag" wont work for me due to the order of how I'm creating these tags. If there's an easy way to get a text tag that has been assigned to a unit so I can destroy.. I'd love to know, but for now I'm assuming I need to store the text tag so that I can kill it off at a later date and not worry about the order it was created.
So yeah.. Even if there is some simple solution for dealing with text tags that completely avoids having to store the data in records.. I'd still love to know if there is a way to search through records to find a match of specified value, since I'm sure it'll come up again in the future.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Bah there it is.. found the "while" command which should do the trick! Can't believe I passed over that one.
So yeah.. if anyone's wondering how to do an iterative check.. use that function!
