Problem passing data with execVM

[leysard 10]

I'm trying to pass some values from on sqf file to another. I can't find my mistake.

Here's the initial file

heliGrp = createGroup west;
heli1 = "B_Heli_Light_01_F" createVehicle ([21704,7571]);
heli1 setVehicleVarName "heli_1";
heliGrp addVehicle heli_1;
null = ["heliGrp","heli1"] execVM "Scripts\fillVehicle.sqf";

Then here is the fillVehicle.sqf script. It does not spawn the unit and get into the heli

sleep 1;
_heliGrp = _this select 0;
_heliname = _this select 1;
sleep 1;

FS1 = "B_Soldier_A_F" createUnit [[18405,6724], _heliGrp, "FS_1 = this",0.5, "LIEUTENANT"];
FS_1 moveInDriver _heliname;

Ok, so im assuming that your trying to pass heliGrp and heli1 as variables not stings. Now assuming this is the case then why are you assigning the global variables (heliGrp,heli1) to local variables (_heliGrp,_heliname)? If you actually want to use global variables then there really is no need for passing anything via execvm. Nevertheless, this is how you could fix it.

Init:

_heliGrp = creategroup west; 
_heli1 = "B_Heli_Light_01_F" createvehicle [21704,7571]; 
_heli1 setvehiclevarname "heli_1"; 
_heliGrp addvehicle _heli_1; 
sleep 1;
[_heliGrp,_heli1] execvm "Scripts\fillVehicle.sqf";

fillVehicle:

_heliGrp = _this select 0; 
_heliname = _this select 1; 
sleep 1; 

_FS = "B_Soldier_A_F" createunit [[18405,6724],_heliGrp,"_FS1 = this",0.5,"LIEUTENANT"]; 
_FS1 moveindriver _heliname;

Just use BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle.
