Questions about cfgActions

[droo_k6 1]

So I am trying to make some First Aid scripts, however I noticed a problem with the First Aid action where a wounded medic on one side cannot be healed by a member of another side (as long as its hostile) because the action just does not appear, but any other combination seems to work fine just not medic. And I am trying to avoid using setCaptive.

I looked into cfgActions in the config file under the ca.pbo but I could not find anything that would help me since it only gives the text, priority, showWindow and textDefault; nothing about the conditions or the script ran, I tried going through other game PBOs but no luck with notepad++'s search in files function. I even tried running a simple script in a single player mission to try and find it (printing the results to a file with an extension) but again no luck, same results

NAME: FirstAid		
CONFIG: bin\config.bin/CfgActions/FirstAid
NAME: text		
CONFIG: bin\config.bin/CfgActions/FirstAid/text				
TEXT - First Aid
NAME: priority		
CONFIG: bin\config.bin/CfgActions/FirstAid/priority				
NUMBER - 9.9
NAME: showWindow		
CONFIG: bin\config.bin/CfgActions/FirstAid/showWindow				
NUMBER - 1
NAME: textDefault		
CONFIG: bin\config.bin/CfgActions/FirstAid/textDefault				
TEXT - <img image='\ca\ui\data\ui_action_heal_ca.paa' size='1.8' shadow=2 />

So is there anyway I can find where the cfgActions stuff is added along with conditions, if it is possible that is. I can still make a custom addAction for this specific issue if needed, would rather figure this out though.

And here is the script I used in a single player mission

_debug is just the function to call the extension to print to a file

_config_m 		= configFile >> "cfgActions";

for[{_i = 0}, {_i < (count _config_m)}, {_i = _i + 1}] do {

	_string = "";

	_string = format["I: %1		NAME: %2		CONFIG: %3", _i, configName (_config_m select _i), (_config_m select _i)];

	_string call _debug;

	_config_a	= _config_m >> configName(_config_m select _i);

	for[{_y = 0}, {_y < (count _config_a)}, {_y = _y + 1}] do {
			_string = "";
			_select = (_config_a select _y);
			_bool = "";
			switch true do {
					case (isClass _select): {
							_bool = format["CLASS - %1",  _select];
						};
					case (isArray _select): {
							_bool = format["ARRAY - %1", getArray _select];
						};
					case (isNumber _select): {
							_bool = format["NUMBER - %1", getNumber _select];
						};
					case (isText _select): {
							_bool = format["TEXT - %1", getText _select];
						};
					default {};
				};
			_string = format["%1-%2		NAME: %3		CONFIG: %4				BOOL: %5", _i, _y, configName _select, _select, _bool];
			_string call _debug;
		};
};

you cannot define or modify their conditions

just disable it (show=0) and define your custom scripted action

[droo_k6 1]

So is there anyway to view the conditions/actions and how the action is added?

Bumping, really wish to know

[.kju 3244]

no unless you get access to the engine source

Well that just proved hours of searching through files pointless (again), thanks for the answer.

Hardly pointless. Very little of ArmA engine CAN'T be mod'ed. Unfortunately you've apparently picked one area that isn't.
