addAction arguments, help

[splatsh 10]

I am playing with som stuff, and now I am trying to build one support script that will fly in some medics and so on..

And to get my medics into the chopper I use this

call_medic.sqf

{_x assignAsCargo _transporthelo; _x moveInCargo _transporthelo} forEach Units _spawngroup;

Now the transporthelo is flying to me and land and the medics are coming to me (player)

So far so god...

Now I have done one addAction to get cancel on my medics, and I want to let them go inside this chopper again and the chopper will lift of and go home.

menuID0_7 = _unit addaction ["Cancel Medic", "scripts\request\medic\cancel.sqf", [], 1, false, true, "", ""];

cancel_medic.sqf

_unit = _this select 0; // who called it.

hint "Medic team returning to base!";
{_x assignAsCargo _transporthelo; _x action ["getIn", _transporthelo]} foreach units _spawngroup;

How do I get right arguments in my addAction to get my code to work proper in cancel_medic.sqd file?

The unit who called it is:

_this select [b]1[/b]

not 0.

How, does cancel_medic.sqf know what _transporthelo and _spawngroup is?

[splatsh 10]

Well, I think that is that I am trying to find out and I did think that my addAction could tell cancel_medic.sqf

Is that wrong?

How does the cancel_medic.sqf file know what _trasporthelo and _spawngrop is then? =)

[Muzzleflash 111]

Oh I see. Do your script know what those to variables are when you add the action? If it does then you can do something like this:

menuID0_7 = _unit addaction ["Cancel Medic", "scripts\request\medic\cancel.sqf", [_transporthelo, _spawngroup], 1, false, true, "", ""];

I see you refer to medic\cancel.sqf, however, here you write cancel_medic.sqf. You are using the right name right?

In you cancel.sqf you can then:

_unit = _this select 1;
_transporthelo = (_this select 3) select 0;
_spawngroup = (_this select 3) select 1;

[splatsh 10]

Oh sorry, I mean cancel.sqf =)

And I have this in my code:

_ch = [[_start select 0, _start select 1, 50], _flightPath, _chopperType, side _unit] call BIS_fnc_spawnVehicle;

transporthelo = _ch select 0;
_chGroup = _ch select 2;

_ch select 0 setVehicleInit "transporthelo = this; this setVehicleVarName ""transporthelo""";

But I don't have any like that for my group of medics, I use

_spawngroup = [_start, WEST, ["US_Soldier_TL_EP1", "US_Soldier_MG_EP1", "US_Soldier_Medic_EP1", "US_Soldier_Medic_EP1", "US_Soldier_Medic_EP1", "US_Soldier_Medic_EP1"],[],[],[],[],[],180] call BIS_fnc_spawnGroup;

And my waypoints is working fine

wp01 = _chGroup addwaypoint [_landPos, 0];
wp01 setwaypointtype "TR UNLOAD";
wp01 setWaypointStatements ["true","MedicOut=1;transportHelo land ""LAND"""];

waitUntil {MedicOut == 1};
 wp02 = _spawngroup addwaypoint [_cpos, 10];
 wp02 setwaypointtype "MOVE";
 wp02 setWaypointSpeed "FULL";
 wp02 setWaypointStatements ["true","MedicReady=1"];

And I am at this part right now

waitUntil {MedicReady == 1};
   hint "You can now cancel your support medic team!";
   menuID0_7 = _unit addaction ["Cancel Medic", "scripts\request\medic\cancel.sqf", ["_transporthelo", "_spawngroup"], 1, false, true, "", ""];

And the last part is not working

cancel.sqf

_unit = _this select 1; 
_transporthelo = (_this select 3) select 0; 
_spawngroup = (_this select 3) select 1;  

hint "Medic team returning to base!";
{_x assignAsCargo _transporthelo; _x action ["getIn", _transporthelo]} foreach units _spawngroup;

Here is your problem:

[[color="Red"]"[/color]_transporthelo[color="Red"]"[/color], [color="Red"]"[/color]_spawngroup[color="Red"]"[/color]]

Your sending the actual string (text) "_transportHelo" not the value.. So later you are saying for example '_x assignAsCargo (SomeString)' instead of doing it to the actual vehicle. Remove the above 4 red quotes and I think it should work.

[splatsh 10]

I am sorry, but that did not work =/

[Muzzleflash 111]

Can you put the entire contents of your scripts in separate code blocks? Eg.:

File A

...

File B

... 

.....

I have now remaked my code and after the help I got from you I got this to wirk fine now, and I got it all to work as I wanted. Thanks

My code are:

call_medic.sqf

menuID0_7 = _unit addaction ["Cancel Medic", "scripts\request\medic\cancel.sqf", [transporthelo, _spawngroup, _chGroup], 1, false, true, "", ""];

cancel.sqf

_unit 	= _this select 0; // who called it.
_position 	= (_this select 3) select 0; // Helo position
_spawngroup = (_this select 3) select 1; // Group with medic
_chGroup 	= (_this select 3) select 2; // Helo pilot group
DeleteAll	= 0;
HomeReady	= 0;

hint "Medic team returning to base!";

// Assign group to helo
{_x assignAsCargo _position;} forEach Units _spawngroup;

// Create waypoint to get group inside helo
wp03 = _spawngroup addwaypoint [_position, 10];
wp03 setwaypointtype "GETIN NEAREST";
wp03 setWaypointStatements ["true","HomeReady=1"];

waitUntil {HomeReady == 1};
// Create waypoint to get helo to fly home
wp04 = _chGroup addwaypoint [getMarkerPos "hStart", 10];
wp04 setwaypointtype "MOVE";
wp04 setWaypointStatements ["true","DeleteAll=1; {deleteVehicle _x} forEach crew transporthelo; deletevehicle transporthelo;"];

waitUntil {DeleteAll == 1};
deleteMarker hStart; // Delete marker.
hint "Medic team are ready for new orders!"

Thanks for the assist and help.

And I am sure this code can get better and so on, but it works anyway so I am happy, feel free to make it better if you want to =)
