Description

Description:: 🕖
This information is obsolete as of Arma 3 v1.50. Reason: use remoteExec/remoteExecCall instead.
execVM desired script with desired argument(s). This function is only really useful when combined with BIS_fnc_MP to execute a script remotely.
Execution:: call
Groups:: Program Flow

Syntax

Syntax:: filename call BIS_fnc_execVM
Parameters:: filename: String
Return Value:: Script Handle - can be used to determine (via scriptDone) when the script has finished.

Alternative Syntax

Syntax:: [arguments, filename] call BIS_fnc_execVM
Parameters:: arguments: Anything - arguments are passed to script as magic variable _this.
: filename: String
Return Value:: Script Handle - can be used to determine (via scriptDone) when the script has finished.

Examples

Example 1:: "Bonus\initializeExtras.sqf" call BIS_fnc_execVM;
Example 2:: [player, "reposition.sqf"] call BIS_fnc_execVM;
Example 3:: // before Arma 3 v1.50 [[[_param1, _param2], "addBonus.sqf"], "BIS_fnc_execVM", true] call BIS_fnc_MP; // since Arma 3 v1.50 [[_param1, _param2], "addBonus.sqf"] remoteExec ["execVM"];
