Title: Variable woes
Post by: Arkon on 18 Apr 2007, 13:16:18

Hi,

Maybe someone can help with this one.

Set up this Global variable "ruattack"

#SETVARIABLES
ruattack = false
(D:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\init.sqs)

When running the mission in the editor the game recognises "ruattack" in players initialisations etc, but not through scripts when turned to TRUE...

Any ideas peoples?

Thanks

Arkon

If it is MP, then when you change its value you should call publicVariable command so the value is distributed along all machines. Take that as a comment by someone that never did anything for MP  :P

Hi Mandoble,

The mission is not MP...

Thanks for your reply

(D:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA\init.sqs)

What is that???  :blink:

init.sqs (as any other present scripts) should be placed into the mission's directory.

Hi, Mandoble

D:\Games\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA
Is the default directory, all my scripts are here and run fine.
(this is a user mission before export to single missions)

It looks like not, seeing that your variable is not recognized when put in this script in this place.
Try putting your script in
My Documents\ArmA Other Profiles\yourName\Scripts
