# BIS_fnc_execRemote

*Function · Multiplayer · Arma 3 v1.00*

## Description

This function is now an alias to [BIS_fnc_MP](../functions/BIS_fnc_MP.md): its file only includes the code of [BIS_fnc_MP](../functions/BIS_fnc_MP.md), so it takes the same parameters and sends the given function or scripting command for remote execution through [remoteExec](../commands/remoteExec.md) or [remoteExecCall](../commands/remoteExecCall.md).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Use [remoteExec](../commands/remoteExec.md) and [remoteExecCall](../commands/remoteExecCall.md) instead!

## Syntax

```sqf
[params, functionName, targets, isPersistent, isCall] call BIS_fnc_execRemote
```

**Parameters:**

- `params`: [Anything](../topics/Anything.md) - (Optional, default `[]`) arguments passed to the function or command
- `functionName`: [String](../topics/String.md) - (Optional, default "") name of the function or scripting command to execute
- `targets`: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md), [Number](../topics/Number.md), [Object](../topics/Object.md), [Group](../topics/Group.md), [Side](../topics/Side.md), [String](../topics/String.md) or [Array](../topics/Array.md) of these - (Optional, default 0) where to execute; [true](../commands/true.md) means every machine, [false](../commands/false.md) the server only, the other types are passed to [remoteExec](../commands/remoteExec.md) as targets
- `isPersistent`: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - (Optional, default [false](../commands/false.md)) [true](../commands/true.md) to also execute for every [JIP](../topics/Multiplayer_Scripting.md#join-in-progress) client
- `isCall`: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - (Optional, default [false](../commands/false.md)) [true](../commands/true.md) to use [remoteExecCall](../commands/remoteExecCall.md), [false](../commands/false.md) to use [remoteExec](../commands/remoteExec.md)

**Returns:** [Array](../topics/Array.md) - format [0, params, functionName, targets, isPersistent, isCall], where targets is the processed list of targets
