Suppressing Fire Question

[jakkob4682 23]

I'm trying to make a simple function that uses nearTargets and suppressFor for a QRF group. My question is can you use sleep within a "called" function? I.E.

_handle =

{

//createGroup and createUnit code

//use nearTargets to define threats and targets code

{

_x commandTarget _tgt

_x suppressFor 10;

}forEach units _group;

sleep 5;

};

I hope that makes sense, can't seem to get the formatting down using text editor in the forums.

I believe sleep only works with spawn or execVM scripts. They have create a new "thread" in order for sleep to work.

You have to use spawn for that to work, as call does not work with functions involving sleep. So something along the lines of "[] spawn myFunctionName" without the "". Also I suggest you use "handle" instead of "_handle" if you want to call the function outside of the current script.
