Walk up to AI, gives action

[Coding_Camel 1]

Hi everyone, after searching for a while I couldn't find what I was looking for so I thought i'd post here. If there's already a post about this i'm sorry, I couldn't find it. I want to be able to walk up to an AI/object and have it give an action to my player. I tried doing this with a trigger but it gave the action to everyone on the server.

Just add the action to the unit itself. So instead of adding it to the player, add it to the unit.

You can add it to the players add action and have a condition within that addaction. Ill dig out the thread with and engineer example - check out this post

Thanks guys, so I put in the AI that I want to walk up to, in his init line "this addAction ["Action","action.sqf"];"

Here's some examples of addactions, 2 with conditions inside the action array.And how to add the action to the player, 3 units named wr1,wr2,wr3, and a destroyed vehicle.

//adds an action to a fuel tank that's only available when standing in front of the tank.
fTank addAction ["<t color='#A6C42'>[ Fill Up Fuel Can ]</t>","fuelcan.sqf",0, 100, true, true, "","[color=#ff0000](player distance (_target modelToWorld [-4,0,0]) < 3)[/color]"];

//adds an action to 3 named objects
{_x addAction ["<t color='#A6C42'>[ Scavenge For Spare parts ]</t>", "parts.sqf"]} forEach [color=#00ff00][wr1,wr2,wr3][/color];

//adds an action to destroyed vehicles
{_x addAction ["<t color='#A6C42'>[ Scavenge For Spare parts ]</t>", "parts.sqf", [], 1, false, true, "", "[color=#0000ff](!alive _target) && (side _this) == WEST  AND (vehicle _this) == _this[/color]"]} forEach vehicles;

Hey ice, thanks for the help but when I use;

{_x addAction ["<t color='#A6C42'>[ Scavenge For Spare parts ]</t>", "parts.sqf"]} forEach [wr1,wr2,wr3];

on 3 objects waned wr1, wr2, and wr3 no action shows up.
