AddAction only to West

[Aphec 10]

i'm trying to add an action only to WEST side players,

i'm failing to do so, anyone could offer some help?

life_actions = life_actions + [player addAction["Take Small Barrier.",life_fnc_packupbarriersmall,"",0,false,false,"",

' _barriersmall = nearestObjects[getPos player,["RoadBarrier_small_F"],8] select 0; !isNil "_barriersmall" && !isNil {(_barriersmall getVariable "item")}']];

For the condition parameter of the addAction. Make it so that the target belongs on side west.

ID = unit addAction [title, script, arguments, priority, showWindow, hideOnUse, shortcut, condition
//Either put this code in the function so it can be called for the condition or place it where it can be completed.
_check = side _this select 1 == west;
life_actions = life_actions + [player addAction["Take Small Barrier.",life_fnc_packupbarriersmall,"",0,false,false,"",_check];

hmm, didnt really seem to have pulled it,

if you feel like maybe we can try some things out on steam?

I don't mind

assuming the previous code works just add && (playerSide == west) as I've done below.

Noticed there was a space on the second false ( e.g. "f alse" ) on what you pasted, which could be a big problem.

life_actions = life_actions + [player addAction["Take Small Barrier.",life_fnc_packupbarriersmall,"",0,false,false,"", ' _barriersmall = nearestObjects[getPos player,["RoadBarrier_small_F"],8] select 0; !isNil "_barriersmall" && !isNil {(_barriersmall getVariable "item")} && (playerSide == west) ']];

Sorry if you got it already but just use,

if (side == west) then
{
  life_actions = life_actions + [player addAction["Take Small Barrier.",life_fnc_packupbarriersmall,"",0,false,f alse,"", ' _barriersmall = nearestObjects[getPos player,["RoadBarrier_small_F"],8] select 0; !isNil "_barriersmall" && !isNil {(_barriersmall getVariable "item")} &&    (playerSide == west) ']];
};

Or something like that

The fn_setupActions.sqf already has blocks for civilian specific actions or blufor.

switch (playerSide) do
{
case west:
{
            //Actions are here for cops
        };

        case civilian:
        {
            //Actions are here for civilians
        };
};

Hey Tonic, yeah i figured it out eventually however there is an extremely weird bug in Arma code,

when you place a barrier and you want to put it back in your inventory, it will allow you to put it back as a cone or a barrier both work :)

ive tested this with many different codes, always get the same result, very very weird :)
