Description

What are inits?
"init" is short for Initialization.
Whenever a mission is launched (or joined in Multiplayer) certain tasks are performed to ensure the mission's various components are initialised correctly and that everyone is synced in multiplayer games (particularly JIP players)

In the frameworks init folder, you'll find the following init.sqf files:
PostInitClient.sqf - Executes the file on only the clients after the briefing screen.
PostInitGlobal.sqf - Executes the file all machines, i.e all clients and the server.
PostInitServer.sqf - Executes the file on only the server after the briefing screen.
PreInitClient.sqf - Executes the file on only the clients during map screen.
PreInitGlobal.sqf - Executes the file on all machines, i.e all clients and the server, during map screen brief.
PreInitServer.sqf - Executes the file on only the server during map screen.
