Simple script will not run

[Joe98 92]

My script has 47 lines. Here I am testing just one line. It will not run.

name of script: one.sqf

Details of script:

{

deletevehicle box1;

}

Code to call script:

nul = [] execVM "one.sqf"; //the spaces are a bit exaggerated

I cannot make the script run! What is wrong?

Not really sure. Removing the brackets { } in the one.sqf file seems to work, though.

Yes you are correct thank you.

Removing the curly brackets solves the problem.

However in my study of scripts, every script begins with { and ends with }.

My script does not require those. Why is that?

because they don't. ;) https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Code

In sqf you don't put curled brackets around a script, because the script itself is code. There's just no need for that.
