You have to use a trigger or a waypoint to exec the script.

How do connect trigger with script ?

I suggest that you check out the command reference:

http://www.flashpoint1985.com/docs/comref_102002/comref.html

This will give you a basis for using the various commands.

Now, to answer your question, follow these steps:

1. Create a trigger with whatever activation type that you wish.

2. In the trigger's activation field, input the following code:

[] exec "MyScript.sqs"

Obviously, replace MyScript with the name of your script.

3. Preview your mission.

That will do it.  There are plenty of other great tutorials on this site that you should check out for various editing information.  Just go to the Editors Depot to find them.

As my answer indicates, put it in the on activation field.

activation = on activation

These are the same thing, except that I just didn't type the "on" part.

Save the file as Text Only with whatever name you want.  Then, go to the folder where you saved the file and rename the file from .txt to .sqs.
