Overwriting FirstAidKits' action

[SirMrE 18]

Hi everyone,

 

I am trying to figure out how to either overwrite the action of a FirstAidKit.

Currently the FirstAidKit will heal you to n% and can be used by everyone. I want to either overwrite the FirstAidKits to do a custom action which I will be scripting or somehow make the "heal" action from the FirstAidKit not show in the player's action menu's when hurt.

 

Is this possible or will I need to, somehow, create my own item to achieve this? I am trying to avoid having to make any client-side mods, and only rely on the vanilla (incl. expansions) version of ARMA 3.

 

Appreciate any help with this!

You cannot remove actions which are in ArmA by default, just as you can't remove the "open/close door" action, because they are not added by SQF.

 

Concerning overwriting the healing though, have a look at the "HandleHeal" event handler. It has an example which you can easily adapt for your needs.

From A3 1.50:

// initPlayerLocal.sqf
 

inGameUISetEventHandler [
     "Action", 
     "
          _target = _this select 0;
          if ((_this select 3) in ['HealSoldier','HealSoldierSelf']) then {
               [player,_target,_this select 3] spawn TAG_fnc_myCustomHealFunction;
               true;
          };
     "
];

To all viewing this post, keep in mind that the current stable version of arma 3 is 1.48, in which this command does nothing. You must use the dev branch (99% of players don't even know this exists btw).

That would be 1.50 yes?

 

Thanks for that additional titbit of info.
