# failMission

*Command · Mission Information · Arma 3 v0.50 · introduced in Arma 2 v1.00*

## Description

Finish the mission. If the server is set to run persistent mission, [failMission](../commands/failMission.md) will not end the mission when last player gets kicked to the lobby. Use [endMission](../commands/endMission.md) to end the mission.

The end type can be:
- "CONTINUE" - this is default type, basically an alias to do nothing
- "KILLED"
- "LOSER"
- "END1"
- "END2"
- "END3"
- "END4"
- "END5"
- "END6"

**Mission saves won't be deleted**.

> [!NOTE]
> **Arma 3:** To maintain Arma 3 visual style, it is recommended to use [BIS_fnc_endMission](../functions/BIS_fnc_endMission.md) instead.

**Parameters:**

- `endtype`: [String](../topics/String.md)

**Returns:** [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md)
