AddAction beginner..

[speeder 0]

Hi people.

So I've started to TRY and mess about with the addaction, but not with much luck.

I'm kind of a novice with scripting, but here goes:

I want a unit to have an action to spawn 4 weapon crates around him.

Remove his action.

Mark spawn-area with smoke.

Destroy the crates.

Delete the crates

Give him back the action.

But nothing happens when I call my script. This is what I got:

In my guys INIT

this addAction ["Spawn Ammo","weapons.sqf"]

weapons.sqf

if (!isServer) exitWith {};

_host		= _this select 0;
_unit 		= _this select 1;
_id 		= _this select 2;
_pos		= (getpos _unit);
_crate1		= "RULaunchersBox";
_crate2		= "USLaunchersBox";
_crate3		= "RUSpecialWeaponsBox";
_crate4		= "USSpecialWeaponsBox"[size="5"]:[/size]
_smoke1		= "SmokeShellGreen"

if (not alive _host) exitwith {
hint "The Group Leader has died"; 
_host removeaction _id;
};

_host removeAction _id;

_box1Dest = [(_pos select 0)+10,(_pos select 1)+10,(_pos select 2)];
_box2Dest = [(_pos select 0)-10,(_pos select 1)+10,(_pos select 2)];
_box3Dest = [(_pos select 0)+10,(_pos select 1)-10,(_pos select 2)];
_box4Dest = [(_pos select 0)-10,(_pos select 1)-10,(_pos select 2)];
_smoke1Dest = [(_pos select 0),(_pos select 1),(_pos select 2)];

_box1 = _crate1 createvehicle _box1Dest;
_box2 = _crate2 createvehicle _box2Dest;
_box3 = _crate3 createvehicle _box3Dest;
_box4 = _crate4 createvehicle _box4Dest;

_smokemarker1 = _smoke1 createvehicle _smoke1Dest;

sleep 20;

_box1 setdamage 1;
_box2 setdamage 1;
_box3 setdamage 1;
_box4 setdamage 1;

sleep 10;

deletevehicle _box1;
deletevehicle _box2;
deletevehicle _box3;
deletevehicle _box4;

sleep 10;

_action = _host addAction ["Spawn Ammo","weapons.sqf"];

Nevermind - I spotted my error - I had put in a : instead of a ;

Nice you found it, those small errors are nasty.

A good tool for locating such errors or just double checking a script is using squint
