Adding "Deactivate mine" action to another class

[On_Sabbatical 11]

I want to add "deactivate mine" to another class of soldiers in my mission,but i am a bit clueless on how to do it !

I 've made a small script doing the same thing ,but i want the action to trigger only when i look towards the mine ;cursortarget didn't work for me though !

Thanks;

Its a property in config that defines if unit can deactive mines and you can't change this without using an addon. If you want help with your script, post it away and let us know where your problem is (or explain it generally)

Ok thanks,

I use this:

player addaction [localize "STR_WF_Removemine","removemine.sqf",[],80,false,true,"","(cursortarget iskindof 'MineCore')&&(player distance cursortarget < 5)"];

But when i look towards the mine ,the action does'nt appear !!

I suppose, that last part, condition, must be between "", as a string.

Yeah, and removemine.sqf must be a string too.

And I'm not too sure about that, but I don't think a priority of 80 is valid? I think they go to maximum 6 or 10.

oh guys ,thanks,

Don't worry about syntax errors ,it's correct on my mission but still not working ...

It's just that last part : "(cursortarget iskindof 'MineCore')&&(player distance cursortarget < 5")

That has somethin wrong !

") -> )"

Hmm. Also did some test with mines placed in editor and created via

_mine = createMine ["MineMine", position player, [], 0];

Mines placed in the editor seems not behave as "usual" object. Its init field is not executed, can't be measured distance to it, can't be checked class (isKindOf, typeOf), naming it, eg as m1 not works...

Placed such mine "thing" in editor, in init field was hint "hop". Nothing happened after preview. Then changed mine for randomly selected object (Line-keeper's box), init unchanged, this time hint was displayed.

Mines created via above script seems to be something else. Distance is measured, class can be checked...

Also note that cursorTarget doesn't work with all objects. Small objects tend to be ignored, although I know for sure that the PMC IEDs are recognized.

you can make a configpatch for your units wit hthis line added to the config

class USMC_SoldierS_Engineer: USMC_Soldier_Base

{

canDeactivateMines = 1;

};

e.g.

class mysoldiertype: USMC_Soldier_Base // whatever parent class it has

{

canDeactivateMines = 1;

};
