Is there a function to call to know which unit has been killed?
I want to have a call, in the tick function, and be able to take several steps when unit has been killed.

You could grab the unit ID in to a global at the start of the mission - if you know where the unit starts - then just check in Tick whether it is dead. You can also use a KILL_CALLBACK function, but looking at the code, currently it only uses the first one it finds, which isn't ideal. I will add allowing >1 KILL_CALLBACK to the task list.

I found I (more o less solution), but I've another question now related to the scripting language: which is the best way to implement a Select Case?.
As no ELSEIF, or Switch, or Select Case exists, now I use:
if a == 0
{
doanything
}

if a == 3
{
doanything
}

if (a == 6) || (a ==9)
{
doanything
}

etc., but this is a tedious task and dirty code when you have more than then cases.

With the limited subset that it has using multiple ifs is the easiest way to go (and sometimes the only one), you write a lot of lines but at least is understandable.

Try also to see if the doanything stuff inside each could be defined with a function and dependent on a variable/s. That way you may substitute the multiple ifs with a for loop.

Yes, this will be a solution on some cases, but as BA only return integers when you need to switch by a string…

Imagine the situation I'm checking every killed unit, to know which kind of unit is I use IsUnitSquadType(id, string) where string is "Artillery" or "infantry", etc.

if (IsUnitSquadType(id, string) == 1)
{

}
one if for each possible case.

if (IsUnitSquadType(id, string) == 1)
{

}

If you've a better idea please tell me how.
