ⓘ
This feature is only available in the retail version of Arma 3.
Groups:
Strings

Syntax

Syntax:
compileFinal expression
Parameters:
expression: String, Arma 3 logo black.png2.14 Code or HashMap
Return Value:
Code or HashMap

Examples

Example 1:
_myCode = compileFinal "a = a + 1"; call _myCode; // repeated compile won't have any effect _myCode = compileFinal "a = a + 2";
