quick help with script (Addaction)

[EACC 10]

Hey i need help with a script to drag out dead players and Ai from vehicles.

the problem is that i give the action to players vehicle since adding to the player give some problems.

so how can i find the player in (vehicle player) that the script is assigned to?

Thanks!

#Theaction

?vehicle _player != _player : _Act = vehicle _player addaction ["Pull out Player from vehicle", "Pullout.sqs"]

Pullout.sqs

_Player = _this select 0

_Aliveplayer = _this select 1

_id = _this select 2

#Pullout

_Player removeAction _id

_Aliveplayer playmove "Medic"

~4

>>>>>> _player setpos (position _aliveplayer) <<<<<<<

exit

not sure if what you want can be done...

the problem is that you assign the action to the unit's vehicle NOT the unit itself

_Act = [color="Blue"]vehicle _player addaction [/color]["Pull out Player from vehicle", "Pullout.sqs"]

and so

_Player = _this select 0

will not return the unit inside the vehicle, but the vehicle the unit is riding in

there is a possibility to exploit a bug in OFP that retains the action assigned to a unit even if the unit is inside a vehicle, but that's not 100% certain...

Okay, well that sucks lol!

I guess ill have to find a workaround then and use the addaction to the player.

it will look a bit silly though :)

Thanks!

Here's solution for your addAction problem.

init.sqs

{[_x] exec "action_pull.sqs"} forEach [p1,p2]

exit

action_pull.sqs

if (!(alive _u) && !(_u==vehicle _u)) then {ac_pull=_u addAction ["Pull out Player from vehicle", "pull_out.sqs"]}

exit

pull_out.sqs

_za = 0
_t setPos [(getPos _c select 0)-((((_xa^2)+(_ya^2))^0.5)*sin (getDir _c)), (getPos _c select 1) -((((_xa^2)+(_ya^2))^0.5)*cos (getDir _c)), (getPos _c select 2)+_za]

_c playMove "Medic"

exit

In the demo there's 2 units and a jeep. Order your AI to get in the jeep, kill him when he is inside and use the action who appears on this body.

interesting read about addAction command:
