calling functions from addaction

[eagledude4 3]

When I call a function in the _Code argument, it doesn't call the function when the action is activated

_Unit addAction [_Str, _Code, _Args, 1, false, true, "", _Condition];

The wiki doesn't say anything about calling functions, but I think the feature been present since OA.

Just place the function name as the code.

_id = _unit addAction ["Name",Tag_fnc_myFunction,_arg];

Then the function with have the same parameters sent.

_target = _this select 0;
_caller = _this select 1;
_id = _this select 2;
_arg = _this select 3;

That's what I'm doing. The action shows, but "TEST" is not displayed when I try to activate the action.

actions.sqf:

[player, "#FF8000", "TEST", "ED4_fnc_TEST", "", "AdminMode"] call ED4_fnc_addAction;

fn_addAction.sqf:

//By Eagledude4

_Unit = _this select 0;

_Color = _this select 1;
_actionStr = _this select 2;
_Str = format["<t color='%1'>%2</t>", _Color, _ActionStr];

_Code = _this select 3;
_Args = _this select 4;
_Condition = _this select 5;

_Unit addAction [_Str, _Code, _Args, 1, false, true, "", _Condition];

fn_TEST.sqf:

hint "TEST";

fn_TEST.sqf:

hint "TEST";

you are not doing it right. your action does not point to a function.

Function name should be code, not a string.

[player, "#FF8000", "TEST", ED4_fnc_TEST, "", "AdminMode"] call ED4_fnc_addAction;

Hmm, haven't heard of that.

To be on the safe side, what stops you from simply putting the code for executing the function in it?

Like so:

_Unit addAction [_Str, {_this call _function;}, _Args, 1, false, true, "", _Condition];

Some people do that as well. Though you might have to compile or format it to make it work across functions as a parameter like that.
