quick question about a script

[ToxicMuffin 1]

Hello everyone, I'm currently trying to port over a life mission (RPP:R, credit to unforgiven for writing it) that we were using on Arma 2 to Arma 3 but running into a problem, i understand that arma 3 has gotten rid of setVehicleInit but its causing problems with a couple of the scripts and i'm not exactly sure how to rewrite it or even if its possible so i was hoping someone here could help :) (If you need anything else just let me know)

private ["_class", "_position", "_registration", "_vcl", "_text", "_name", "_trunk", "_siren", "_hasSiren"];    _class = _this select 0;
   _position = _this select 1;

       if (count _this >= 4) then
       {

"_vcl setVehicleInit "this setVehicleVarName ""&3"";" You can just use setVehicleVarName without the setVehicleInit.

Also get rid of the processInitcommand code. If you have some stuff you want to put in the vehicleInit. Just make a file called

myFunctions.sqf. Here is one example of by passing the setVehicleinit command. Just make functions that can be used over and over again by

different objects. Below is a example using the disableAI "MOVE" command without using the setVehicleInit.

/*
* myFunctions.sqf
*/

fnc_notMove = 
{
    private["_unit"];
    _unit = _this select 0;
    _unit disableAI "MOVE";
    /*
     * [[_this], "fnc_notMove"] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;
    */
};

I'm not 100% sure what this code is doing can you explain further what this line is doing?

_vcl setVehicleInit "this setVehicleVarName ""%3"";
