Prospero 1 Posted October 19, 2002 OK some dumb questions: The Object command returns the object whose unique ID number is passed to it. What's the opposite of this? I.e. what command would return the unique ID number when passed the object? The reason I ask is I'm trying to sort out a script to make an action added to a player unit via the addAction command follow the unit around regardless of the vehicles he enters/exits. Of course if some kind person has a script snippet handy... I'm a lazy bast at heart. Prospero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uiox 0 Posted October 19, 2002 I'm sorry I don't understand very well what you want to do. (not good in English) May this help you In adaction script you have automatically 3 parameters: _this select 0  -> owner of action _this select 1  -> unit that call action _this select 2  -> index of action With 1.85 I use this for addaction to vehicle player when he gets in : In init : </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> Vehicle1 addEventHandler  ["getIn",{_this exec "getIn.sqs"}] Vehicle1 addEventHandler ["getOut",{_this exec "GetOut.sqs"}] <span id='postcolor'> You need install this on all vehicle, cause you can't add getin to men...

Prospero 1 Posted October 19, 2002 That's very helpful Uiox. Many thanks. Prospero PS: It's a shame those event handlers only work for the vehicles into which your getting in/out of, rather than on the person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prospero 1 Posted October 19, 2002 Just asking, but does addAction still not return a valid value? (i.e. the bug mentioned in even the latest ComRef?) This would make things far simpler if fixed. Prospero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uiox 0 Posted October 19, 2002 No bug with addaction. this works very well _Owner = _this select 0 _id = _this select 2 _Owner removeaction _id ? HelmetCamera : aDPlayer3 = _Owner addaction ["Camera on", "helmet.sqs"] ;HelmetCamera = false ;exit aDPlayer3 = _Owner addaction ["Camera off", "helmet.sqs"] HelmetCamera =true One little bug with addaction sometime player actions are not removed when he gets in a vehicle, if you manage this you double actions.

Prospero 1 Posted October 19, 2002 Thanks again Uiox;) That should sort me out. Prospero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sui 0 Posted October 20, 2002 Another alternative: Trigger Radius: 0,0 Condition: none (repeatedly) Condition Field: vehicle player != player OnActivation: action = (vehicle player) addaction ["Action","Action.sqs"]; vplyr = (vehicle player) OnDeactivation: vplyr removeaction action Doesn't use any of the fancy new features, but it gets the job done Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prospero 1 Posted October 20, 2002 And thanks to Sui too;) Prospero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prospero 1 Posted October 20, 2002 OK, I basically wanted what Sui did there, but in script form and without using a trigger. The following seems to work nicely: ---------- _v = player _def = _v addaction ["Action", "action.sqs"] _ov = _v #lp _v = vehicle player ?(_v != _ov) && (_v != player): _a = _v addaction ["Action", "action.sqs"] ?(_v != _ov) && (_v == player): _ov removeaction _a _ov = _v ~0.05 goto "lp" ---------- Prospero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prospero 1 Posted October 21, 2002 Thanks again Uiox. Here's my latest version (speediest), but I think it still suffers from the "double action problem" occasionally. _t = "Action" _f = "action.sqs" _p = player _a = _p addaction [_t, _f] _o = _p #lp _v = vehicle player ?(_v != _o): goto "sb" #rn _o = _v ~0.01 goto "lp" #sb ?(_v != _p): _a = _v addaction [_t, _f] ?(_v == _p): _o removeaction _a goto "rn" Prospero Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
