(HELP) Moving a car by Scripting

[alexboy 11]

So im trying to move the car by calling the script in from a Trigger

script code

_unit = _this select 0;

num = 1;

While (num <= 10) do {

num = num + 1;

_unit setPos [ (getPos _unit select 0) + num, getPos _unit select 1, getPos _unit select 2];

Sleep 3;

hint Format["Dist > %1",num];

};

when i activate the trigger it only moves it one space and stop ? i want it to look like its moving till num hits 10, like

when the trigger is activated the car moves 1, 2 ,3 ,4 ,5 .... till it hits 10 spaces away from where it is, not just jump to the 10th space.

if that makes sense

While (num <= 10) do {

should be

While {num <= 10} do {

it still doesnt work? it only moves back 2 spaces then stops ?

Thanks for quick reply

Code:

_unit = _this select 0;

If (!local _unit) exitWith{};

num = 1;

While {num <= 10} do {

_unit setPos [ (getPos _unit select 0) - num, getPos _unit select 1, getPos _unit select 2];

Sleep 2;

hint Format["Dist > %1",num];

num = num + 1;

};

ok i found my problem, it wasnt the scripting it was the way i called it in the trigger [hmv_1_1] exec "move-vehicle.sqf"; rather then nul = [hmv_1_1] execVM 'move-vehicle.sqf';

but thanks for everything Jw Custom, and thanks for quick responses

btw use -showScriptErrors in your game shortcut target line to catch script errors :)
