For this command to work from 2D editor, you will need to

1. call command with fromMission param (fromMission is unlisted here, it's last param and must be set to true)
2. close RscDisplayArcadeMap display (idd 26) (why? I don't have a clue, found with trial and error)(because this was done from 2D editor, so RscDisplayArcadeMap is still active in background -- benargee)
3. end mission

Debriefing will show and player will be moved to new mission after clicking on Continue.

Following code will change change island to Stratis and spawns player as basic soldier at [0,0,0] coordinates. playScriptedMission ['Stratis',{ createCenter west; _grp = createGroup west; _player = _grp createUnit ["B_Soldier_F",[0,0,0],[],0,"NONE"]; selectPlayer _player; },missionConfigFile,true]; (findDisplay 26) closeDisplay 1; failMission "END1"; (tested in Arma 3 1.54.133741)
