HELP!!!

[repta]

i have many items in my crate and i dont want to go and type it in. any ways i rewrite the script on notepad and it still doesnt work(extentions were not hidden). i saved it as a ext. how do u guys get scripts to work? they dont like me very much.

[dmakatra]

Try this:

[this] exec "my_cratenamechanged.sqs"

in the init field of the crate. If that works, read SnYpirs introduction to Code Snippets in Editors Depot.

:beat: *Gets Shot* :beat:

EDIT: Whoa! Don't save as ext, then itll crash! .sqs is your file!

[repta]

that is exactly what ive been doing. i did it again and it still wont work.

Zip your script and post it here so we can download it and see.

here it is

OK

I made a quick thing in the mission editor.

I placed the 'Ammo Crates (West)' and myself as player on the Intro Isle.

I saved it then Alt Tabbed out of the game and then put a copy of your script in the mission folder where the mission.sqm was.

Back in the game I put:

[this] exec "custom_crate.sqs"

in the init field of the crate.

In this particular case it required '[this]' and not 'this'.

Everything worked just fine, I went to the crate and could choose all sorts of weapons.

I also tried it with 'Ammo Crates (East)'.

okay, it worked on the empty map but when i did it on my map it said ""chat.sqs" not found!"

[Planck]

What does chat.sqs have to do with custom_crate.sqs?


Planck

[repta]

dont ask me

[Planck]

Well......it is your mission, you should know if you are calling a script callled 'chat.sqs' from anywhere or not.

Maybe you should post your mission so we can look.

nvm, i figured it out.

[DBR_ONIX]

Eh?
In the code

RUN CODE: [this] Exec "CUSTOM_CRATE.sqs"

Thats good news.

How about pressing the 'solved' button.
