AddAction to simpleObject

[bull_a 44]

Hi all,

 

has anyone been able to successfully execute an addAction command on a simpleObject. The action ID is always returning as -1 indicating the action has not been added.

_simpleVeh = createSimpleObject ["\a3\weapons_F\ammo\mag_univ.p3d",(getPosWorld player)];

_actionID = _simpleVeh addAction ["Some action name", {hint "You picked it"}];
systemChat str _actionID; // always displays -1

I'm unsure as to why this is happening, maybe something to do with the simulation?!

 

 

Thanks,

Bull

It seems that simple objects cannot have actions attached to them.

Variables cannot be set on simple objects as well. I guess these are the draw backs of having low network traffic models.

Add the action to the player with the condition being the distance between him and the simple object.

Alternatively, create a small or invisible object inside it.
