Description

Description:

Defines a comment. See SQF Syntax - Comments to learn more about comments.

⚠

This command is evaluated during execution, and as such is infinitely slower than other SQF comment methods (// comment or /* comment */) which get preprocessed and do not exist at runtime). See SQF Syntax for additional documentation on comments.

ⓘ

This command is only used to place comments in unpreprocessed codes, such as trigger On Activation field, object init field, etc. Alternatively, one can use a plain string followed by a semicolon as a way to comment; e.g "Some comment";.

Groups:

Strings

Syntax

Syntax:

comment text

Parameters:

text: String - the comment

Return Value:

Nothing

Examples

Example 1:

In a preprocessed SQF script (e.g. when doing execVM "myScript.sqf")

comment "This is a commented line"; // bad "This is a commented line"; // slightly better // This is a commented line // perfect

Example 2:

In an object init field (in editor):

comment "This comment works"; "This comment works too"; // This doesn't work /* This doesn't work either */

Like Armed Assault, you can not use brackets to make a multi-lines comment. But, in a sqf file, you can make a comment as follow :

comment " first line seconde line";
