Ok, something that I have wondered for a while now, is would it be possible for a script to run a sequence or code of an online source or inside the ArmA 2 install directory?

I know referring to scripts in folders inside the PBO is easy, but is it possible to tell the script to run an outside file?

Such as:

Script wants to run file TEST.sqf

Test.sqf is not in the .pbo , but is inside the ArmA 2 directory or on an online filespace.

You can do that as long as there isn't any spaces in your script path. I don't think you can run from an online source though.

_nul = [] execVM "C:\scripts\test.sqf";

Replacing spaces with %20 may work.. Don't think so though.

Okay. I tried and it seems you can't run scritps for missions outside the directory. Could possibly be to do with anti-"hacking". I've ran scripts for addons outside the mission folder. I think this just could be for missions.

# Coffeee_Table : Even though it didn't work...

I believe some servers are doing this, so it should be possible. A lot of the RPG Life servers I believe are using a method like this.

Any other ideas on how to get this to work?
