Command to prevent error-messages

[RogueTrooper]

Just look at your last post in the editing forums... You post a sqs code snippet and write that's what's in your sqf file. Or look what you wrote here: "In almost all my sqF files I have goto"... there is no goto in sqf.

Create a file.sqF with

_a = 0;
goto "jumpto";
hint "this message won't be shown";
_a = _a+1;
#jumpto
_a = _a+1;
~5.0
if (_a==1) then {hint format ["%1",_a]};
exit;

and execute it by [] exec "file.sqf"; in your init.sqs or in a trigger.

Why then is there NO hint "this message won't be shown" and no blackbox-error message? Why then is _a == 1 at the end of the file? Why then does this sqf (f like fox) executed with [] exec "file.sqf" work as expected and without any errors? I do not understand why people maintain this example would not work whereas it works without any error or problems.

Why then does this code work when "there is no goto in sqf" ?

That explains a lot.

You're executing the file using "exec" instead of "execVM", which means it will be run as an SQS script, regardless of the file extension. (If I'm not mistaken.)

You are essentially still writing and running SQS scripts, but merely mislabeling them as SQF.

Exec is for SQS code

ExecVM is for SQF code

as MaddogX wrote, You don't use SQF syntax http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/sqf
but in fact still using obsolete SQS syntax http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/SQS_syntax

You're so gonna get infracted with that avatar ;-) Doesn't FADE get triggered by that sort of thing?
