addAction only for self use

[Valfunction 1]

I have a script that is run from an addAction. The addAction is added to the playable units (MP). I want to make it so only the person who the addAction is attached to is able to use it. In other words, player A cannot access the action which is attached to player B. Is there a way to do this?

yes

need more info!

only a human player shall have the actcion (cheating)?

only a role in the mission shall have the action?

private ["_coding","_ids"];
_coding = "76561197996296785";
_ids = [_coding];
{
if (getPlayerUID player == _x) then
{
	//player addAction["AH-99", {"B_Heli_Attack_01_F" createVehicle (getPos player);}];
};
}
forEach _ids;

addAction is local anyway, so just have the player add it to themselves via script instead of from the map.

if (local unit1) then {
   unit1 addAction ["Say cheese!", {unit1 sideChat "Cheese!"}];
};

Might work :)

Sorry I'll be a bit more specific. Each unit has a "beacon" which is activated/deactivated via an action. Each unit should be able to turn on their own beacon on/off but not another unit's beacon (all units are human so don't have to worry about AI).

@kylania

On a dedicated server now I have no addAction options at all. My assumption is that it is adding the actions locally to the server so the clients cannot see them.

@coding

I don't know how to get UIDs but stepping through the code I don't really see how it is different from just adding the actions via the init field for each unit.

EDIT: I seem to have sussed it by fiddling the parameters. Now looks like this: _unit addAction ["Beacon", "beacon.sqf", [] , 1 , true , true , "" , "_this == _target"]; This way it checks if the unit the action is attached to and the one triggering the action are the same.
