The case statements are irrelevent -- they do absolutely nothing, so you should just delete them.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 		if(TFGame.ToggleWarhead == true)
  2.                {
  3. 			SMNameArray[0] = "Shield (50/30)";
  4. 			SMIndexArray[0] = 1;
  5.             		SMNameArray[1] = "Protector (200/30)";
  6. 			SMIndexArray[1] = 2;
  7. 			SMNameArray[2] = "Portal (200/30)";
  8. 			SMIndexArray[2] = 3;
  9. 			SMNameArray[3] = "Armory (200/60)";
  10. 			SMIndexArray[3] = 4;
  11. 			SMNameArray[4] = "Generator (300/60)";
  12. 			SMIndexArray[4] = 5;
  13. 			SMNameArray[5] = "Outpost (600/90)";
  14. 			SMIndexArray[5] = 6;
  15. 			SMArraySize=6;
  16.            }
  17. 	    else
  18.           {
  19. 			SMNameArray[0] = "Shield (50/30)";
  20. 			SMIndexArray[0] = 1;
  21. 		        SMNameArray[1] = "Protector (200/30)";
  22. 			SMIndexArray[1] = 2;
  23. 			SMNameArray[2] = "Portal (200/30)";
  24. 			SMIndexArray[2] = 3;
  25. 			SMNameArray[3] = "Armory (200/60)";
  26. 			SMIndexArray[3] = 4;
  27. 			SMNameArray[4] = "Generator (300/60)";
  28. 			SMIndexArray[4] = 5;
  29. 			SMNameArray[5] = "Outpost (600/90)";
  30. 			SMIndexArray[5] = 6;
  31. 			SMNameArray[6] = "Warhead (3000/180)";
  32. 			SMIndexArray[6] = 7;
  33. 			SMArraySize=7;
  34.              }
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

AncientDragon, im sure theres a lot of sloppy code here.

But your comment didn't really help me get closer to my goal, of making the variable ToggleWarhead global so that i can use it in the file i need to use it in as an if statement

Thanks Though

The if and else need to be 'inside' the case, and the if block and else block need their own set of braces { }.

if (test) { // code } else { // more code }
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 		 case SMS_Construction:
  2. 			if(tfgame.ToggleWarhead == true)
  3. 			{
  4. 				SMNameArray[0] = "Shield (50/30)";
  5. 				SMIndexArray[0] = 1;
  6. 				SMNameArray[1] = "Protector (200/30)";
  7. 				SMIndexArray[1] = 2;
  8. 				SMNameArray[2] = "Portal (200/30)";
  9. 				SMIndexArray[2] = 3;
  10. 				SMNameArray[3] = "Armory (200/60)";
  11. 				SMIndexArray[3] = 4;
  12. 				SMNameArray[4] = "Generator (300/60)";
  13. 				SMIndexArray[4] = 5;
  14. 				SMNameArray[5] = "Outpost (600/90)";
  15. 				SMIndexArray[5] = 6;
  16. 				SMArraySize=6;
  17. 			}
  18. 			else
  19. 			{
  20. 				SMNameArray[0] = "Shield (50/30)";
  21. 				SMIndexArray[0] = 1;
  22. 				SMNameArray[1] = "Protector (200/30)";
  23. 				SMIndexArray[1] = 2;
  24. 				SMNameArray[2] = "Portal (200/30)";
  25. 				SMIndexArray[2] = 3;
  26. 				SMNameArray[3] = "Armory (200/60)";
  27. 				SMIndexArray[3] = 4;
  28. 				SMNameArray[4] = "Generator (300/60)";
  29. 				SMIndexArray[4] = 5;
  30. 				SMNameArray[5] = "Outpost (600/90)";
  31. 				SMIndexArray[5] = 6;
  32. 				SMNameArray[6] = "Warhead (3000/180)";
  33. 				SMIndexArray[6] = 7;
  34. 				SMArraySize=7;
  35. 			}

But this should work too and be a lot smaller:

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. 		 case SMS_Construction:
  2. 			SMNameArray[0] = "Shield (50/30)";
  3. 			SMIndexArray[0] = 1;
  4. 			SMNameArray[1] = "Protector (200/30)";
  5. 			SMIndexArray[1] = 2;
  6. 			SMNameArray[2] = "Portal (200/30)";
  7. 			SMIndexArray[2] = 3;
  8. 			SMNameArray[3] = "Armory (200/60)";
  9. 			SMIndexArray[3] = 4;
  10. 			SMNameArray[4] = "Generator (300/60)";
  11. 			SMIndexArray[4] = 5;
  12. 			SMNameArray[5] = "Outpost (600/90)";
  13. 			SMIndexArray[5] = 6;
  14. 			SMArraySize=6;
  15. 			if(tfgame.ToggleWarhead == true)
  16. 			{
  17. 				SMNameArray[6] = "Warhead (3000/180)";
  18. 				SMIndexArray[6] = 7;
  19. 				SMArraySize=7;
  20. 			}

PS- please use c++ language code tags when posting c++ source
[code=c++]
// your code here
[/code]

After a little further searching, I don't see that any of the 'config' values from TFGame.uc (other than the one you are trying to add) are being used in TFMenuConsole anywhere.

Ok I found out some more info.

All of the other variables listed at the top of TFGame are in this format when being pulled by other files
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if(tfgame(level.Game).variable == true)
When i use
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if(tfgame(level.Game).ToggleWarhead == true)
the compiler returns
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Error, Bad or Missing Expression in 'if'
If i add
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. local tfgame warhead
to the rest of the locals in TFMenuConsole

and then use
c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if(warhead.ToggleWarhead == true)
then the code compiles fine, but it doesn't actually do anything in the game. I'm assuming this is because the local object I just created is blank.

Ok, first ide like to thank everyone here
second, ide like to say im sorry because I didn't know what i was talking about

third, its fixed

c++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. if(class 'TFGame'.default.ToggleWarhead == True)

that worked, cuz there are no global variables in this script
