Is there a way to make it so an action is displayed to the player to search a body... but it only displays when the player is near it?

I am currently making a mission where you are tasked with finding information where a certain leader is to get your revenge and I would want to know how to make it so that when the player is near a fallen soldier you will get an action to search them... but only have it shown if you are within arms reach of the fallen corpse?

fallenSoldier addAction

[

"My Action",

{

hint "My action exectuted";

},

nil,

6,

true,

true,

"",

"_this distance _target < 3"

];

fallenSoldier addAction
[
	"My Action",
	{
		hint "My action exectuted";
	},
	nil,
	6,
	true,
	true,
	"",
	"_this distance _target < 3"
];

Where do I put this? and I'm guessing fallensoldier is the name of my soldier that has died?

With the info you gave out yea, the action goes on the name of the solider you want the action to be applied to. You can put it in the init of that unit (change "fallenSoldier" to "this").

Or more simply

fallenSoldier addAction
[
	"My Action",
	{
		hint "My action exectuted";
	},
	nil,
	6,
	true,
	true,
	"",
	"",
        3
];

It works now... now I have to figure out how to make it where when you activate that action, after a while (like 10 seconds or so) it will then activate a trigger.

 

to do this for other things I had a code like this:

p1 addAction ["Plant Explosives",{explos setdamage 1;(_this select 0) removeaction (_this select 2)}];

this code above would have once the action was entered, it would kill a unit and then a trigger that had !alive explos would then be triggered and that would create a new task and complete the previous one.

 

I would like to do something similar to that.

Nice catch, obviously I'm not keeping up with all the changes as of late :P.

I managed to figure it out.

search1 addAction 
[ 
 "Search Body", 
 { 
  hint "You are searching the body for intel"; next1 setdamage 1;(_this select 0) removeaction (_this select 2)
 }, 
 nil, 
 6, 
 true, 
 true, 
 "", 
 "", 
 3 
];

 }, 
 nil,

Searching a body for intel looks like a great chance to use https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd
