;intialize like this: ["unitname",0] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"

; Or this: ["unitname",1] exec "weapons_respawn.sqs"

;

; * "unitname" = The name of the player the script runs on (must be enclosed by quotes!)

; * 0/1 = method of repleneshing weapons

; **if method is 0, the player gets the same weapons he started out with every time

; **if method is 1, the player gets the same weapons he had when he died

;

; Advanced example method of initializing script - put the following lines in your init.sqs,

; and replce the unit names with your own:

;_units = ["w1","w2","w3","w4","w5","w6","w7","w8","w9","w10","w11","w12","w13","w14","w15","w16","w17","w18"]

It's the name you give it in the mission editor:

Lines like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">_unit = call compile format["%1",_name]

Compile the string (name of the object) into a function.

Calling that function then returns the object, that was originally assigned the name, in the mission editor.

It works with integers and some other variables to:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">MYNUMBER=2;

_Number=Call Compile "MYNUMBER";

Well I dunno about that. Personally I think Arma scripting is a world unto itself

It was a case of, if I'm going to reply. I may as well try and make it as accessible to as many people as possible.
