shared-functions

Repository of shared, relatively self-contained functions that can be re-used across missions.

Usage

Using the shared functions is relatively easy:

1. Copy or merge the CfgFunctions class from the description.ext into your own mission's descrition.ext.
2. Copy the Functions\ directory (and sub directories) into the root of your mission folder.
   1. You MUST keep the structure as-is, otherwise you will have to edit the CfgFunctions to point to a new location.
3. (OPTIONAL) If you are desperate to save space, you can delete the function files fn_* that you are not using. But be sure to remove their reference from your CfgFunctions too!

Contributing

Adding a function to this is two steps:

1. To add a function, simply copy the SQF file into a category folder under Functions and ensure the filename is prefixed with fn_.
   1. Feel free to create a new category folder if one doesn't exist that matches your function usage.
2. Update the description.ext, adding a new subclass under CfgFunctions with your TAG and then any other subclasses for the category.
   1. This is prefixed on the global variable for your function, for example TAG_fnc_functionName.
   2. If using a category subclass, it must match the folder structure.

class CfgFunctions
{
   class MYTAG {
      class General {
         // Corresponds to Functions\General\fn_doThing.sqf
         class doThing {};
      };
   };
};
