In some cases the forEach-command works in an unexpected way. If you want to give a set of variables the same value, you would like to use:
{_x=false} forEach [var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, var6, var7,...]
But you have to use:
var=false; var2=false; var3=false; var4=false; ...

1.) Open Editor, place a unit if you like.
2.) Open Debug-console by Ctrl+D
3.) Enter Code:
counter=0; denominator="string"; {counter=counter+1} forEach [firsttime, secondtime, thirdtime]; {denominator="text"} forEach [firsttime, secondtime, thirdtime]; {_x="string"} forEach [var1, var2]
4.) In the 'watch-area' fill in the variables, that shall be watched, namely:
counter
denominator
var1
var2
5.) Click on 'LOCAL EXEC'.
Advanced:
1.) Change the code from:
{_x="string"} forEach [var1, var2]
to:
{_x=100} forEach [var1, var2]
and click on 'LOCAL EXEC'.
2.) Change the code to:
{_x=false} forEach [var1, var2]
and click on 'LOCAL EXEC'.
This malfunction occurs in debug-console, in triggers and in (sqf-)scripts.
This malfunktion is caused by the command '_x=' and not by the forEach-construction. (See attached *.jpg for further information.)
I'm afraid it never worked that way.
{_x=false} forEach [var1, var2, var3, var4, var5, var6, var7,...]
The array doesn't contain variable references, but their values. For engine, it may look like
{_x=false} forEach [true, true, false, true, false, true, true,...]
An you cannot use false=false statement.
The solution is simple. Create an array containing variable names as strings:
{
missionNameSpace setVariable [_x,false];
} forEach ["var1", "var2", "var3", "var4", "var5", "var6", "var7",...]
