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.

Hello. First off, I want to apologize if I have posted this topic in the wrong area, but I think it's right. If not, oh well. Oops. Anyway, on to my script. What I am trying to do is make a script for the civilians in my mission to make them behave in a certain way by playing some of the cowering type animations in A3. I managed to get the basic idea working by spawning the commands manually into each units initialization field but when I try to define a function and call that I get issues. inside the civ units init: init.sqf: functions.sqf; The problem I am having is I get the error message "Error: Undefined Variable in Expression: this" and the line of code it shows above that is "0 = [] spawn { |#|this playMove "ApanPknlMstpSnonWnonDnon_G01"; };" or something along those lines. I feel like the problem isn't really a problem at all, I'm just missing something obvious or I'm still just completely unfamiliar with scripting in general. I have tried several things but I just can't seem to get it working. Anyone know what is wrong? Thanks in advance for the help (if anyone actually responds lol).
