__EVAL in sqf does not work

[facoptere 1]

I try to use __EVAL and __EXEC in sqf files.

when I write:

w = __EVAL__(1+1);

Preprocessing does not work for __EVAL and the following is displayed:

2013/04/03, 18:11:08 Error in expression <

w = __EVAL(1+1);

2013/04/03, 18:11:08 Error position: <(1+1);

Are __EVAL and __EXEC limited to some file types?

The BIKI page mainly refers to Operation Flashpoint thus I don't think __EVAL and __EXEC work anymore. However one thing you could try is write this: w = __EVAL(1 + 1);

Basically leave the other __ after EVAL out. https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/PreProcessor_Commands#EXEC

sorry, it's a typo. I tried __EVAL and not __EVAL__

__EVAL still seems to work in description.ext

check the official configs to see how its used

__EVAL and __EXAC are NOT for sqf/scripts - just for configs (ext is also such type)
