Variable woes

[Arkon2 0]

Hi,

Maybe someone can help with this one.

Set up this Global variable "ruattack"

#SETVARIABLES

ruattack = false

(D:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\init.sqs)

When running the mission in the editor the game recognises "ruattack" in players initialisations etc, but not through scripts when turned to TRUE...

Edit: (not MP)

Any ideas peoples?

Thanks

Arkon

not sure but do you have your script in the mission folder....like

(D:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\mpmissions\(coop)2-6_mymission.sara\init.sqs)

I know there is a folder that you can place scripts in that all missions can use but i think it's in mydoc's...not sure

When you make a mission you must put the scripts in the mission's directory, not your ArmA directory.

The mission directories are under My Documents-> ArmA or "ArmA other profiles". Look for your ingame name, then for the Missions folder and find the folder with the name of your mission. That's where the scripts go.

You can also place scripts in:

My Documents\ArmA Other Profiles\yourName\Scripts

From there the editor can always find it which is good for casual experimentation, but before you compile the mission you still need to copy the scripts in to your mission folder as explained above.
