Launch script on description.ext parameter

[El Mariachi 0]

I tried searching, and I've tried cracking open different missions for this and no examples seem to work.

Basically, I want to a parameter on/off to determine if a script is run.

example of params code, in description.ext

class RunScript

title = "run this or not?";

values[] = {0,1};

texts[] = {"off","on"};

default = 1;

In my Init.sqf I've tried this:

if (RunScript = 1) then { execVM "thatscript.sqf" };

But that doesn't work. The param is available in the multiplayer screen, and displays correctly, but the script doesn't run. To complicate things, the script has arguments like [5,4,false,1] How would I get that to run for the sqf?

Any help?

You could rather just put the "scipt" text in the init.

So if your script is

hint "hello";

then just put that in your init.

Well for the sqf arguement passing part, as that is within my scope of knowledge, also within the "if" check for RunScript you need to use the double equals, not the single, all you would need is:

if (RunScript == 1) then {nul = [5,4,false,1] execVM "thatscript.sqf";};

No idea what you are trying to do, but you can read any param from description .ext with missionConfigFile. for example to read texts param you need:

[color="#FF8040"][color="#191970"][b]getArray[/b][/color] [color="#8B3E2F"][b]([/b][/color][color="#191970"][b]missionConfigFile[/b][/color] [color="#8B3E2F"][b]>[/b][/color][color="#8B3E2F"][b]>[/b][/color] [color="#7A7A7A"]"RunScript"[/color] [color="#8B3E2F"][b]>[/b][/color][color="#8B3E2F"][b]>[/b][/color] [color="#7A7A7A"]"texts"[/color][color="#8B3E2F"][b])[/b][/color][color="#8B3E2F"][b];[/b][/color][/color]

Ok, figured it out, thanks for the help. I couldn't get it to work but you put me on the right track, here's the code that works so hopefully this helps anyone else with the question:

(assuming the defined param in description.ext is the second param)

if (paramsArray select 1 == 1) then {[5,4,true,false] execVM "somescript.sqf"};

I couldn't grasp the missionconfig thing, though, but hey this gets me where I need to be. Thanks again for the help.
