how to call a script ?

[chacne 17]

I am sorry but i have searched and googled this but no answer I find seems to work

I am trying to call a script which see's 2 A-10's come to my location to 'support' me

but in the trigger I dont know what to put to 'call' the script ?

I have tried afew different things which I have seen through the forums but it doesnt seem to work, unless my script is wrong ?

please can someone advise., I would be very grateful

here is my script (which is taken from somewhere else in the forums it is not my own)

_BluforHQ = createCenter west;
_GroupCAS = CreateGroup West;

_veh1 = createVehicle ["A10_US_EP1", [(getpos player) select 0,(getpos player) select 1, 350], [], 3000, "FLY"];
_Pilot1 = _GroupCAS createUnit ["US_Pilot_Light_EP1", [0,0,1], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_pilot1 moveInDriver _veh1;
_veh1 FlyInHeight 350;

_veh2 = createVehicle ["A10_US_EP1", [(getpos _veh1) select 0,(getpos _veh1) select 1, 360], [], 50, "FLY"];
_Pilot2 = _GroupCAS createUnit ["US_Pilot_Light_EP1", [0,0,1], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_pilot2 moveInDriver _veh2;

{_x setSkill 1; _x setrank "CAPTAIN"} foreach units _GroupCAS;

_wp1 = _GroupCAS addwaypoint [position player, 0];
_wp1 setwaypointtype "SAD";
_wp1 setWaypointCompletionRadius 100;
_wp1 setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
_wp1 setWaypointBehaviour "COMBAT";

lastly does player mean who ever i control the planes will fly to or do i need a unit named player (which I have tried aswell by the way) ?

my main problem is I dont know how to call the script, I want it to be in a radio alpha kinda thing

the script is called airstrike.sqf

Hi,

You can call that .sqf script by putting this in the Trigger Activation:

nul = [] execVM "scriptName.sqf";

For .sqs scripts use:

[] exec "scriptName.sqs";

For .sqs scripts... actually, don't use sqs.

Fixed. :p

From the Biki main page, go to 'scripting' and read through those subjects. Also search for Mr Murray on Armaholic.

ok thanks for great responces guys,

so i use

nul = [] execVM "airstrike.sqf";

in the on activation field then ?

adn the player is that the 'player' or the unit named player ?

[st_dux 26]

"Player" is a special variable that returns whatever unit is currently being controlled by, well, the player. In MP, it is different on every client.

[Reimann 10]

'player' is reserved for the actual 'player'.

To call it from radio there is a drop down within the trigger. Don't recall its identifier, but you'll find it if you have a look. Then just put

nub = execVM "pornhax.sqf";

in the on act. as you have
