Hey all, I'm really new to all this stuff so please, try to bear with me ;)
Anyways, I just started playing ArmA 2 recently. One of the first things I did was fire up the editor, and I'm doing pretty well in it. However, I wanted to use a few scripts for my mission. One of them being the Traffic Transportation System (http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=119820). The installation instructions were quite confusing to me, but it just said to copy and paste a line into my unit's init bar. I had no idea what that was, but I found out.
To clarify, I go to my profiles folder in My Documents, go to Missions and create a txt file. I then pasted in the code I was told to, saved and renamed it to init.sqf. In the instructions I was also told to put the fnc_traffic folder directly in my missions folder, so I put it in both the one in My Documents and the root ArmA folder.
Now, when I start my mission and click Preview, I expected to see a bunch of cars moving around randomly. What I got was a message saying the script WCRffsx_fnc_traffic.sqf was not found. This is the exact same line I was told to put in my init.sqf, and I definitely put the fnc_traffic folder in both Missions folders. The file is clearly there, but the game can't detect it!
So here's the line copy/pasted from the Readme file included in the Traffic download: "Download the function and unzip it, put the folder fnc_Traffic into your mission folder directly. copy the code: fnc = [50] execVM "fnc_Traffic\WCRffsx_fnc_Traffic.sqf"; into your unit's init bar."
Is it fine just to paste that line in like that? I can't think why the script isn't working. I'm running the same map, and I have the file requested. Please help!
On a smaller note, is it okay to run other scripts in the same init.sqf file by putting it next to it? For example, I want to use the Advanced Fire Script, and I am told to put the line, "_nul = [] execVM "AFS\AFS_Init.sqf";" into my init file. So it should look like this?
fnc = [50] execVM "fnc_Traffic\WCRffsx_fnc_Traffic.sqf";_nul = [] execVM "AFS\AFS_Init.sqf";
Any help would be much appreciated! I haven't gotten to using Triggers in the editor, by the way. I've only been spawning units and waypoints. Thanks.
