{% step %}

### Execute code via init.sqf

Start by either creating an **init.sqf** file or use the existing one within your mission directory. Once located, open the **init.sqf** file and proceed to copy this code or whichever code you prefer.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Execute code via custom sqf file

You can also create a **init.sqf** then create a additional file called for example **DisablePanels.sqf**, then copy all or one of the codes down below in to the **DisablePanels.sqf**. After that head over to your newly created **init.sqf** and copy & paste this in there: 

```sqf
[] execVM "DisablePanels.sqf";
```
