sqf loop don't do what I write

[siOnzee 10]

Hello, I maded script SQF.

Named "GiveWeapon.sqf"

_unit = _this select 0;
_weaponName = _this select 1;
_weaponAmmo = _this select 2;
_weaponQuantity = _this select 3;

//hint format ["\nUnit = %1\nWeapon Name = %2\nWeapon Ammo = %3\nWeapon Quantity = %4\n Arm weapon = %5\n ", _unit, _weaponName, _weaponAmmo, _weaponQuantity, _loaded];

for "_i" from 0 to _weaponQuantity do {
   _unit addMagazine _weaponAmmo;
};
_unit addWeapon _weaponName;

In editor I assign to unit on INIT

removeAllWeapons this; [this, "M9", "15Rnd_9x19_M9", 6] exec "GiveWeapon.sqf"

In-game I'll got weapon M9 with one Magazine. Why?

I goes deep for debug.

for "_i" from 0 to _weaponQuantity do {
   hint format ["%1", _i];
};

This print 'any' :butbut:

_n = 0;
while {_n < _weaponQuantity} do {
_n = _n + 1;
_unit addMagazine _weaponAmmo;
};

Too doesn't work. What I do wrong?

The script seems ok but you are using exec to execute it when it should be used just for sqs and thats a sqf script. So i guess try to run in with execVM instead? or call + compile( or, in a3, define it on cfgfunctions and then call it)...

Thaaanks maaan! execVM fixed my problem. Why this isn't in the Documentation? :confused:

Why this isn't in the Documentation?

It is:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/exec

It is not recommended to use this command in any game other than OFP. Instead, the execVM command should be used.

Learn more about scripts under Scripts.

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Script_(File)#Execution

The commands to execute scripts are:

exec

exec starts a thread for a script in SQS syntax.

execVM (Armed Assault only)

execVM compiles a script in SQF syntax and starts a thread for it.
