If you refer to a script packed together with an addon, the path should look like this: "\ADDON_PBO_NAME\script.sqs" where ADDON_PBO_NAME is the name of the addon's *.pbo file without extension. - script: String - the name of the script. It should be given relatively to the mission folder, campaign scripts subfolder or global scripts folder and is searched there in the same order.

VBS2 VTK: To execute a script with no arguments that will run during the start of a mission, add this to the
initialization line of one of your objects:
[ ] exec "script_name.sqs"
I had some trouble getting this to work at first; the key is to have a space between the brackets.
IMPORTANT: not reccomended for use with .sqf scripts! line breaks will cause problems if you do - use execVM for those
