Need help - Script does not execute

[Freddan962 1]

Hello,

I've made a mission and a script but for some reason the script doesn't want to execute.

spawn.sqf

hint "Script has been executed";

_counter = 0;
for "_counter" from 1 to 10 do
{	
_x = floor(random 25);

_y = floor(random 50);
_xx = floor(random 50);

switch (_x) do
{
	case 1: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 2: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 3: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 4: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 5: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 6: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 7: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 8: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 9: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 10: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 11: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 12: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 13: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 14: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 15: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 16: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 17: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 18: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 19: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 20: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 21: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 22: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 23: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
	case 24: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"]};
};

_counter = _counter + 1;	
};

init.sqf

[] execVM "spawn.sqf";

I know it's badly written but it's just a placeholder while trying to figure this out.

Please help me, I'd be grateful! :)

What are you trying to do?

spawning 10 units on that marker?

just use:

{
"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor"];
} forEach [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];

wouldn't it be much easier?

or I got you wrong with the purpose of your script...

I don't need help with the code, as of right now, however I don't understand why the script (spawn.sqf) isn't executing.

Your problem is with many things within this code. why staying with this if you can do the same thing with much less lines of code and much easier thing...

More or less code wouldn't matter if it doesn't want to execute.

Would this solve your problem?

Developing something without any error ouput it highly negligent.

As for the original scrip this should work

hint "Script has been executed";

_counter = 0;
for "_counter" from 1 to 10 do
{	
_x = floor(random 25);

_y = floor(random 50);
_xx = floor(random 50);

grp=creategroup west;[

switch (_x) do
{
	case 1: {"USMC_Soldier_AA" createUnit [getMarkerPos "bluefor",grp, "", 1.0, "private"]};
// rest of your code

ect.

I used your code and it still didn't execute. Also, I have the show script error parameter but it doesn't show any.

Grateful for more help! :)

I think you were tring to do something along these lines,if

init.sqf

waitUntil {time > 3};
if(isServer) then { 
_null = [] execVM "spawn.sqf";
};

spawn.sqf

diag_log "Script has been executed";
_tempGroup = createGroup WEST;
_counter = 0;
_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";
_marker = "bluefor";
for "_i" from 0 to 10 do { 	
_x = floor(random 25);

_y = floor(random 50);
_xx = floor(random 50);

switch (_x) do
{
	case 1: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
	case 2: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
	case 3: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
	case 4: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
	case 5: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
	case 6: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
	case 7: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
	case 8: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};

	case 24: {_unittype = "USMC_Soldier_AA";_marker = "bluefor";};
};
   diag_log format["counter: %1",_i];
    _unit = _tempGroup createUnit [_unittype, [(getMarkerPos _marker select 0) + _y,(getMarkerPos _marker select 1)+_xx,0], [], 0, "FORM"];
};
