preprocessFile problem

[goldmember13]

hi!

I want to know if possible to use preprocessFile  command in script  but only work this in init.sqs?  Because When  I call a function( in a script) with  preprocessFile   the program did not  find it,  but this same function call  works in init.sqs.

You can always call a function from a script (I know you know that ). You can preProcess such function at the init of a mission (init.sqs or init field of a unit) or during the mission (through script or trigger or whatever). All you must do is:

Code: [Select]

_MyFunction = preprocessfile "MMK_Func.sqf"
and then use the var:

Code: [Select]

Returned_Value = _arguments call _MyFunction
Notice that _MyFunction is a local var, so you can only use it within scripts. If you want to use it in the global space just remov the underscore "_".

You can also use the preprocessing while calling the func.:

Code: [Select]

Returned_value = _arguments call (preprocessfile "MMK_Func.sqf")I just don't recomend it.

Though I store the returned value in the var 'Returned_value', it doesn't mean that the function returns, indeed, any value! It could just be a simple process without arg return.

#Edit
There's the 'loadFile' too! It works very similarily, however you cannot have comments in the func ('//comment')
