Notes

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:

_function = loadfile "myfunc.sqf";
call compile _function;

See the call_code article for more details. --General Barron 09:12, 16 January 2009 (CET)
