spawn cannot call other local functions on the same scope as itself.
It can, however, call other global functions:_addOne = {TST=TST+1}; TST_addOne = {TST=TST+1}; _add = { TST=TST+1; player sideChat format ["added: %1",TST]; [] call _addOne; player sideChat format ["called local: %1",TST]; [] call TST_addOne; player sideChat format ["called global: %1",TST]; }; TST=0; [] call _add; [] spawn _add;The call of _addOne from the spawned function does not do anything.
