Description: Boolean (true or false).
Boolean values in OFP are identical to numbers except, by convention, the values are 0, or 1
Thus
StartEngine = 0; // would be interpred as off IsNightTime = 1; // is not daytime !!!
as a covenience. well written mission.sqm's and well written config.cpp's (addons) have the following defines at top of file
#define true 1 #define false 0 // note the lack of a semicolon
Thus the script fragment
IsNightTime=true;
is exceedingly more readable, with the added bonus that not all token-names (IsNightTime) 'look' like boolean names. They could, appear to be, to the human reader, an integer that can take any value.
