Script going off only once?

[Tand3rsson 10]

Hi!

I have made a very simple script, for a body guard mission I am makeing. When a man1 fires a FN_FAL, body1 gets an addaction "Annie, Follow!", (which causes the VIP, Annie Baker to join his squad) and ability to call in a chopper and some other stuff.

1. However, how do I go about makeing the script fire only once? :-S Now, everytime man1 fires his weapon, body1 gets a new action.

Here is my script (dont laugh):

[["Transport"], body1] call BIS_SOM_addSupportRequestFunc; som1 setVariable ["TSS_vehicle_custom", heli1];

dig = body1 addAction ["Annie, Follow!","join.sqf"];

body1 groupChat "SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!";

2. Also, the last part, where the bodyguard1, yells the text dosent work either... :S

My script knowledge is very limited, and most is some type of copy/paste solution...

OK, I kind of got smart a minute after the last post, and did this

[["Transport"], body1] call BIS_SOM_addSupportRequestFunc; som1 setVariable ["TSS_vehicle_custom", heli1];

body1 removeAction dig;
sleep 0.1;
dig = body1 addAction ["Annie, Follow!","join.sqf"];

body1 groupChat "SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!";

That works, almost as I want it to. However, the second problem, with groupChat remains :S

Hi,

If I'm not mistaken I believe this code at the end of it what will end the script:

if(true)exitWith{};

};

Sorry but: if(true)exitWith{}; is useless whatsoever.

You can make a variable to check if you already added the action:

[["Transport"], body1] call BIS_SOM_addSupportRequestFunc; som1 setVariable ["TSS_vehicle_custom", heli1];

if ([url="http://community.bistudio.com/wiki/isNil"]isNil[/url] "[color="SeaGreen"]Body1ActionAdded[/color]") then {
dig = body1 addAction ["Annie, Follow!","join.sqf"];

[color="SeaGreen"]Body1ActionAdded = true;[/color]
};

body1 groupChat "SHOTS FIRED! SHOTS FIRED!";

For the groupChat problem... Whats the problem with it? Does it not show up? You can only see groupChat if he is in your group. Use globalChat or sideChat instead.

I beg to differ,

I use it for my init scripts to end other scripts running, if I didn't use the code then the scripts wouldn't end.

But the init script is the only place I use it, most of the scripts i have used that have had a init script included used that code,

it may not apply here but it was merely a suggestion.

I use it for my init scripts to end other scripts running, if I didn't use the code then the scripts wouldn't end.

This actually isn't true although it's a popular miconception. All scripts will exit when there's no more code left to run.
