Description

Description:
Defines a comment. See SQF Syntax - Comments to learn more about comments.
⚠
This command is evaluated during execution, and as such is infinitely slower than other SQF comment methods (// comment or /* comment */) which get preprocessed and do not exist at runtime). See SQF Syntax for additional documentation on comments.
ⓘ
This command is only used to place comments in unpreprocessed codes, such as trigger On Activation field, object init field, etc. Alternatively, one can use a plain string followed by a semicolon as a way to comment; e.g "Some comment";.
Groups:
Strings

Syntax

Syntax:
comment text
Parameters:
text: String - the comment
Return Value:
Nothing

Examples

Example 1:
In a preprocessed SQF script (e.g. when doing execVM "myScript.sqf")
comment "This is a commented line"; // bad "This is a commented line"; // slightly better // This is a commented line // perfect
Example 2:
In an object init field (in editor):
comment "This comment works"; "This comment works too"; // This doesn't work /* This doesn't work either */

Like Armed Assault, you can not use brackets to make a multi-lines comment. But, in a sqf file, you can make a comment as follow :
comment " first line seconde line";
