how to addaction to a spawned Object

[1para{god-father} 105]

Having an issue putting a add action onto a spawned object just not gettting it , how can I do this ?

_random = floor(random 5);
_spawnspot = ["point1", "point3", "point3","point4","point5","point6"] select _random; 
_name = "Notebook" createVehicle getmarkerpos _spawnspot;

_name setVehicleInit "radaradd = _name addaction ['Pickup','missionradar.sqf']";
processInitCommands;

problem is your not using double quotes inside the init string:

it should be like this:

_name setVehicleInit "radaradd = this addaction [""Pickup"", ""missionradar.sqf""]";

you can also use ' instead of double quotes.

also _name is a variable local to the script, and it wont be interpreted by the init as having a value, using this fixes that

You might want to use the MPF instead of setvehicle init. Then you don't have to worry about getting the format command right:

radaradd = [nil, _name, "per", rADDACTION, "Pickup", "missionradar.sqf"] call RE;

If you need to access the id outside of missionradar.sqf this method won't work though.
