addaction trouble using "in" in condition

[coolfact 10]

I have some trouble with my addaction script which is placed in a for loop, the addaction works fine beside when I want to pose a condition that can only be used for specific sides, it doesn't give anyone access.

_box addAction [format["<t color='#FF0000'>%1</t>",(_descname select _i)], spawn_object ,[(_type select _i),(_items select _i),(_magazines select _i),(_backpacks select _i),(_weapons select _i),_spawnpoint],6, false, true, "","player distance _target < 5 && {(side player in _side)}"];
systemchat format["objects: %1",side player in _side];//returns true

I have tried

(side player == civilian)

which works just fine so it must be the "in" function which does not work, the _side function is:

_side = [WEST,civilian]

[fn_Quiksilver 1633]

Its a different scope and a variable local to that scope needs to be defined. In this case, _side would be undefined.

Hello.

You are trying to call a local variable in your addAction thread.

You can still use two playerside checks playerside == side OR playerside == side.

Or you need to define the local variable in the same scope as the addAction.

WHEN USING ADDACTION CONDITIONS DO NOT USE PLAYER!!!!!!!

use:

_target (the object/unit where the object is attached)

_this (the object/unit looking at the addAction)

 

in this case _target is _box and _this is player

I see so how do I define the local scope in the same scope as the addaction? I have tried add the _side array to the argument, but that didn't seem to work

_box addAction [format["<t color='#FF0000'>%1</t>",(_descname select _i)], spawn_object ,[(_type select _i),(_items select _i),(_magazines select _i),(_backpacks select _i),(_weapons select _i),_spawnpoint,_side],6, false, true, "","_this distance _target < 5 && {(side _this in (_target select 3 select 6))}"];

Using player is perfectly fine as long as you know what you are doing. Unless you can prove otherwise?

 

 

One way could be saving the sides into the box:

_box setVariable ["COOLTAG_Side",_side];
_box addAction [format["<t color='#FF0000'>%1</t>",(_descname select _i)], spawn_object ,[(_type select _i),(_items select _i),(_magazines select _i),(_backpacks select _i),(_weapons select _i),_spawnpoint],6, false, true, "","player distance _target < 5 && (side player in (_target getVariable 'COOLTAG_Side'))"];

okay so variables are saved in the right scopes, will try that out.
