This feels like an obvious question but my Googling has failed... I want to pass the name of a global variable to a script, e.g. [myVariableGlobal] execVM "myscript.sqf" (this script will deal with other global variables, hence why the name of the variable needs to be part of the argument to execute it) And in the script "myscript.sqf", e.g. _myVariableLocal = _this select 0; Say "myVariableGlobal" was previously defined globally as "false". I now want "myscript.sqf" to define it as true. Simply writing the following in "myscript.sqf" should not work, since the variable is now only local: _myVariableLocal = true; How, then, do I make it global again?

Hello again, everyone. I'm doing my first steps into functions and parameters. Everything in this matter is new for me so here is my idea: For studies purposes, I want to put a helmet in each unit I get close. To set the target units for the function, all I would like to do is set a "call" in each unit-target. That said, my try (not working): myFunctions\TAG_fnc_addingHelmet.sqf: if (!isServer) exitWith {}; TAG_fnc_addingHelmet = { params ["_unit"]; if ( ((player01 distance _unit) < 3) AND (headgear _unit != "H_HelmetB") ) then { removeHeadGear _unit; _unit addHeadgear "H_HelmetB"; hint "Oh, thanks for the helmet!"; }; }; [] spawn { while { alive player01 } do { // Do I need to call the TAG_fnc_addingHelmet function in here somehow? sleep 5; }; }; And all I would like to do is put it (below) in unit init for this call my function: Init of any random unit: [this] call TAG_fnc_addingHelmet; Where are my mistakes, folks? More info: description.ext: class cfgFunctions { #include "myFunctions\TAG_fnc_functions.hpp" }; myFunctions\TAG_fnc_functions.hpp: class TAG { class init { class TAG_addingHelmet { file = "myFunctions\TAG_fnc_addingHelmet.sqf"; preInit = 1; }; }; };

Hi, I'm new to scripting so forgive me for what I'm asking. I'm trying to make a training mission for my clan. I need to randomly place four flags inside a given area defined by a marker, and these four flags have some constraints in terms of the position in which they can be placed. Here's a bit of the code: traguardo setPos ([["white"], []] call BIS_fnc_randomPos); blueflag setPos ([[[getPos traguardo, 4500]], [[getPos traguardo, 2500], "water"], _this inArea "white"] call BIS_fnc_randomPos); where "white" is the name of the above-stated marker. When I run the code, it returns me the error: |#|_this inArea "white" Error undefined variable in the expression: _this don't know why though. Thank you greatly for your help.

Hi, i want to edit Antistasi mission to play music in the bases. I tried it just in editor by putting trigger called "speakers" and then running this script stopmusic = 0; publicVariable "stopmusic"; music = 1; publicVariable "music"; while {music == 1} do {if (stopmusic == 1) then {music = 0;} else {switch(round(random 1))do{ case 0 : {music = 0;speakers say3D "music1";uiSleep 276;music = 1}; case 1 : {music = 0;speakers say3D "music2";uiSleep 259;music = 1}; case 2 : {music = 0;speakers say3D "music3";uiSleep 157;music = 1}; case 3 : {music = 0;speakers say3D "music4";uiSleep 147;music = 1}; case 4 : {music = 0;speakers say3D "music5";uiSleep 149;music = 1}; case 5 : {music = 0;speakers say3D "music6";uiSleep 239;music = 1}; case 6 : {music = 0;speakers say3D "music7";uiSleep 140;music = 1};}; };}; //the uiSleep is track length in seconds That works even though i haven't made use of the "stopmusic" yet. What i want is if player comes close to base (100 metres for example) random track will start playing and when it ends another random track will play, when the player leaves it will stop (i had the idea that if trigger deactivates it'll set stopmusic to 1). But the problem is that antistasi uses some kind of generation of the bases so i can't set the name of the trigger to speakers (atleast i think). My question is how can i make the script know which trigger called it?
