[Mr.Cool]

This is the script I am haveing a prob with...

?!(_West == West _Police): _Civilan GlobalChat "Police..police...do you hear me...I NEED HELP!!!"; Exit

I just need to know what to put where it says _Police...this is a script for my RPG that I have and I want a script so you can call the cops.

You need to know what that _West variable stands for.

Can you post the whole script?

[Mr.Cool]

If you are new to scripts then, before going any futher, go to the Editors Depot and read snYpir's A Friendly Intro to Code Snippets and also Johan Gustafsson's Scripting Tutorial.

Put this in the init-field of the unit:

Code: [Select]

this addAction ["Shout for help", "shout.sqs"]
then create a file named shout.sqs in your mission folder and put this in it:

Code: [Select]

_this select 1 GlobalChat "Police..police..I need help tying my shoelaces..anyone?"
