Init.sqf will only run one script

[Cain_ 10]

I got a problem. Im making a mission where I am removing the chat function and the abillity to press map.

The problem is that the init.sqf is only able to load 1 command line.

sleep 1;

waitUntil {sleep 0.01; (!(isNull (findDisplay 46)))};

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

~5

hint format ["Welcome %1 to Desert Operation",Player]

The problem is that i only disables the chat, but dosnt show the hint. If i put the hint in front like this i only get the hint and chat is working.

hint format ["Welcome %1 to Desert Operation",Player]

sleep 1;

waitUntil {sleep 0.01; (!(isNull (findDisplay 46)))};

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Chat') then { true } else { false };"]

Since i want disable the abillity to press M to see map and score i tried

(findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", "if (_this select 1 in actionKeys 'Map') then { true } else { false };"] but it dosnt work :(

Try 'ShowMap' (and 'HideMap', but probably not relevant for you) instead of 'Map'.

Weird mix of .sqf and .sqs syntax; ~5 and sleep 1, ; character only on some lines etc.

ye i dont want ppl to see their score in map menu :). I cleared out all shit but it still gives me problems. I remember editing in OFP. I used to get tons of errors ingame when something was "typed" wrong. In ArmA i get nothing, it just dont work.

Using sqs syntax in a .sqf file will cause all kinds of mystery errors. Either switch to sqf syntax or rename the file with a .sqs extension. That should help clear up a number of problems.

@Cain: Use startup parameter -showScriptErrors to show the errors on screen like in OFP, otherwise they are just logged to the .rpt.

Yeah, "~5" is definitely the problem. Change it to "sleep 5" in sqf.

sleep 5; :)

Even if I might be up for the biggest Scripting Noob Award I have to say that I am not mentally retarded, at least now when being sober:) I am 100% sober when typing this.

Step 1: added -showScriptErrors to my shortcut

Step 2: re saved my SQF file into SQS

Step 3: tried to run script again => nothing worked, didnt even get any errors.

Step 4: Express my happies in a gained roar crushing which if the sound travels at 342 m/s should hit you guys any second now.

I used to script back in OFP but now I cant even get a hint message to show :).

*Iam modding the mission in MP editor and playing "live"

*I have only placed 3 soldiers in the game editor and nothing else

*Iam a Swede, maybe we are ment to fail?

What does it say? :)

Also, you may find more information in the ArmA2.rpt/ArmA2OA.rpt. The location of that file depends on what your OS is.
