menu template for creating menu using BIS_fnc_createMenu:

[jakkob4682 23]

I want to create a custom menu with different options and have each "main" option have sub-options. for when u press 0-9 or0-8, it creates a list of options. Then each of those options has a list of sub-options. I looked at the misc folder for the functions module and saw what I believe is the framework for it BIS_fnc_createMenu and showMenu etc, but not quite getting what the parameters mean or how to pass them w/ a called function.

These reference materials might help - BIS_fnc_createmenu, showCommandingMenu

Might want to have a look at how Windwalking made the WW AIMenu addon

You're missing the # in front of the USER in the case the error is referring to.

so I have another question... how do I go about deleting the vehicle/crew created within a script using a fired event handler.... i.e.

A10 or F-18 fires their LGB, I want to delete the vehicle and crew created inside the script so that if the user uses that option again they dont have 30 A10's flying around?

I've gotten the the first two options working as intended... suppport menu comes up either infantry support or ground transport gets selected, the fire team or ground transport spawns moves to player position and script fired is fine. However, with the Close Air Support option I'm having an issue with deleting the crew and vehicle that is spawned, here is what I'm using

deleteThis.sqf

_veh = _this select 0;

{
deleteVehicle _x;
}forEach (crew _veh);

deleteVehicle _veh;
//addSwitchableUnit (driver _veh); used to check if driver was successfully deleted
hintSilent format ["%1",count (crew _veh)];

inside the CAS script

_pos = [position player,3000,random 360] call BIS_fnc_relPos;

_grp = createGroup west;
_pilot = _grp createUnit ["USMC_Soldier",_pos,[],0,"FORM"];
_vehicle = createVehicle ["A10_US_EP1",_pos,[],0,"FLY"];
_pilot assignAsDriver _vehicle;
_pilot moveInDriver _vehicle;

if(_pilot in _vehicle) then
{
player sideChat "A10 CAS Enroute";
(driver _vehicle) doMove (position player);
player addWeapon "LaserDesignator";
player addMagazine "LaserBatteries";
hintSilent "Use your laser designator!!";
};
waitUntil{_vehicle distance player < 1000};
hintSilent "A10 in close proximity get to safe distance";
_vehicle addEventHandler ["Fired",{[_vehicle] execVM "EH_Stuff\deleteThis.sqf"}];
if(isNull _pilot and isNull _veh)then
{
hintSilent "objects deleted";
};
