onPreloadStart/Finish - When does it run?

Recommended Posts

Anyone know when the onPreloadStart|Finished is being executed? After briefing? Before/after init.sqf? (Etc.)

What/when is a good implementation/use of these two functions?

They're executed whenever the 'receiving' screen pops up / goes away, typically when you come back from the map screen.

You may want to disable changing things that are only visual while the game loads? Typically you have something you want to implement, then figure out how, not the other way around.

Ok, but this only applies to when you start up the game, not when you're opening/closing maps, right?

Rgr, thanks.

I'm not quite sure where you're going by telling me this, but I'm painfully aware of this, PlacidBox... However, by gaining knowledge, knowing your opportunities - your options, comes also great ideas. If I didn't know about scripting in ArmA, I wouldn't be able to learn and gain ideas for making my own missions, wouldn't you agree?

Thanks for your feedback, PlacidBox, comes in handy. :)

It happens when you load a mission, sometimes when you close the map in mission, whenever you change video settings, when you alt tab and occasionally at random.
