RMM Core Functions

[Rommel92]

Description:
These functions are some of most used generalised functions that I have produced for ArmA 2, and despite sharing them with others, they are used in my upcoming scripts.

They will be loaded into memory, and that is the end of it, there are no running scripts in this pack, they are simply functions for use by the mission maker / programmer.

Contents (mission folder):
init.sqf
mission.sqm
RMM_core.sqf
functions\f_doActionArgument.sqf
functions\f_getAlive.sqf
functions\f_getDirection.sqf
functions\f_getDistance.sqf
functions\f_getForecast.sqf
functions\f_getGroup.sqf
functions\f_getNearest.sqf
functions\f_getNearestBuilding.sqf
functions\f_getPosition.sqf

Usage:

Code: [Select]

Parameters: object addAction ["Action name", "functions\f_doActionArgument.sqf", {code}];

Very nice.

Some of those were on my list of things to do, too! (Now, less work for me!)

Nice pack Rommel92 
Now, for clarity in the missions going to use this set of functions you might put all inside a RMMCore folder, including the RMM_Core.sqf, also include a txt or html file with the list of functions and usage.
