As you can see in the addon request, I simply want a way to advertise a message every so often on my server. Should be super simple, and coding it isn't the problem. But after reading up on how to create addons/scripts etc, I still have NO IDEA what to do. It's not the syntax, or the programming language that confuses me, it's how to get it to run. Everything I've read is like "Go into the mission and add a player, then add this to the 'init' line". Yeah well no, I'm not making a mission, IM JUST TRYING TO MAKE A GODDAMN SCRIPT TO EXECUTE WHEN I RUN THE SERVER. I tried adding -init=execVM "ads.sqf" hoping it would run my script when the server loads up but it didn't seem to do it. This is all I want to know, is how to do anything in Arma that isn't directly related to the mission itself. I've never seen something set up so convoluted as Arma. Normally (take CSS for example), I can code up a plugin in sourcePawn, and add it to the autoexec file to run it on server start up(lets say). Arma doesn't seem to have this in any way, shape, form or capacity. I'm getting frustrated because after like a week of reading, I still have NO idea where to EVEN BEGIN, and once I know, then I'll probably be done (since my script itself will just consiste of a while(true) loop with a hint and sleep command or so).....

Yes I suppose, because that doesn't run properly (like it says it should).
