ied.sqs not working!

[nickk13579 0]

I recently downloaded an IED script and have tried every possible way to fix my problem. I have searched every forum topic and I have found "solutions" that dont seem to work at all. The error im getting is pretty standard:

"Script ied.sqs not found"

This is what im putting into the object Init. line:

[HMMWV, "Medium"] exec "ied.sqs"

I have tried many variations of that code and still i cant fix it. I have made sure that i put the .sqs file directly in my main arma/missions folder.. can someone please help?

thanks

Did you put ied.sqs script in your mission folder? There should be a file named mission.sqm

If the script is in different folder inside the mission folder you must define a path:

[HMMWV, "Medium"] exec "foldername\ied.sqs"

[nickk13579 0]

this is the directory i put it in:

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\Missions

mission.sqm is in that folder, but is this the right directory?

Well if yor mission name is Test

then you must put ied.sqs file inside:

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\Missions\Test.Intro\

Inside Test.Intro folder must be 2 files:

mission.sqm

ied.sqs

Well this is a little too frustrating for me! I think im going to give up. There is no sub folders in-

C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\Missions

(such as test)

All my custom missions are in:

C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Phillips\My Documents\ArmA Other Profiles\Major%20Phillips\missions

I was, however, able to load in without the "missing ied.sqs script" but instead got something in the upper left hand corner of my screen telling me i had set "ammo type" or something remotely related to that.

Just to make sure, all i have put in the Init. is

[HMMWV, "Medium"] exec "foldername\ied.sqs"

Im new with scripting so please bare with me... but it seems to me as if my folders are all mixed up.

There's two places you can put the script, the one you need to put it in when you finalise the mission and are ready to PBO it is indeed the mission folder.

But you can also put it in

MyDocs\Arma Other Profiles\UserName\Scripts

Note that you probably need to make the folder "Scripts" manually first.

Open editor, create player, create Humvee and name it jeep1. Create trigger and group it with jeep1. Create some waypoints for jeep1 and make sure it drives over trigger.

Put in triggers "on activation" field

[jeep1, "Medium"] exec "ied.sqs"

Now you can name your mission "Test" and save it in editor and it creates mission folder to:

C:\Documents and Settings\Nick Phillips\My Documents\ArmA Other Profiles\Major%20Phillips\missions\Test

Put your ied.sqs script inside that Test folder. Now test your mission.
