<!-- Note Section BEGIN -->
This command syntax only works in OFP. In Arma, the call command can only be passed code data type, not string data type.
To change a string data type to a code data type, use the [[compile]] command. Example:
<pre>
_function = loadfile "myfunc.sqf";
call compile _function;
</pre>
See the [[call_code]] article for more details.

Description

Description:
Executes the function string. The argument(s) (if any) are passed as _this. (argument(s) are passed in an array). To execute a sleep function in the called code, execute it with spawn instead.
Groups:
Uncategorised

Syntax

Syntax:
argument(s) call body
Parameters:
argument(s): Any Value - Optional. Argument that is passed to the function in the "_this" variable.
body: Code - A function body provided directly 'inline' or the String returned from the commands loadFile or preprocessFile.
Return Value:
Anything - The last value given in the function is returned. See the topic Function for more information.

Examples

Example 1:
call {"x = 3"}
Example 2:
Operation Flashpoint syntax: _n = 3;
call format [{var%1 = 0},_n]; Armed Assault syntax: _n = 3;
call compile format ["var%1 = 0",_n]; result of both syntaxes is var3 = 0
Example 3:
Operation Flashpoint syntax: _fAdd = loadFile "add.sqf" [1,2] call _fAdd Armed Assault syntax: _fAdd = compile loadFile "add.sqf" _result = [1,2] call _fAdd
