Tick updater?

[Arma_Fan 10]

I want however many kills blufor gets to display with hint format ["West Kills: %1"]; ...so I've tried using

hint format ["West Kills: %", scoreSide West]; but it only shows a "0" for the count...I was told to have the game update every frame to display everytime they get a kill? Anyone know hows I can do this? D:

You need to keep repeating the hint. The simplest way to update the score is to put it in a loop that never ends, like this.

scoreMon.sqf

while {true} do                            // true condition will never change
{
   hint format ["West Kills: %1", scoreSide West];
   sleep 5;                                          // wait 5 seconds then repeat the hint
};

then add to your init.sqf

execVM "scoreMon.sqf";

execVM "scoreMon.sqf";

Thankyou! What do I do with the init.sqf ...do I add it in a trigger somewhere or something?

create a init.sqf in you mission folder and write execVM "scoreMon.sqf"; in it.

The init.sqf runs at mission start by itself

while {true} do                            // true condition will never change 
{ 
  hint format ["West Kills: %1", scoreSide West]; 
   sleep 5;                                          // wait 5 seconds then repeat the hint 
};  

Noticed an issue with that code, it was missing hint format. Fixed.

EDIT: was also missing %1
