cant find script in mission

[enforcer4100 10]

ok guys I have problem.

when I make a sqs script file and use it for a mission,

it can't be found in game.

what do i do with the script:

-I make a mission in the editor

-I make the script ( with wordpad ) and place it in the missionfoler of the created mission ( Documents/arma 2/missions/mymission )

-In this case I add the action and define wich script must executed (Deploymines=mcv_1 addAction ["deploy mines","Deploymines.sqs"]).

-save the mission

-start the mission.

mcv_1 is the vehicles name.

error message: Script "Deploymines.sqs" can't be found

I know this is a stupid question but i am new to scripting and editing.

please help me with this.

Probably wrong file extension (something like "Deploymines.sqs.txt"). Make sure that Vista (or whatever) shows files extensions.

yeah thats the problem, but how do I solve this?

I create a new text document with (wordpad) and name it deploymines.sqs

but it still remains an .txt file

erghh...one question...when you save the script...did you made sure that the filetype selection has been set to all files?
