hideOnUse for addAction broken?

[OMAC 254]

For the life of me, I cannot get the hideOnUse option for addAction to work.  I have been resorting to scripting my own removeAction to solve the problem. 

 

HideOnUse will not work with this code:

 

player addAction ["Retake control", "retain.sqf", nil, 0, false, true, "", "getDammage tank < 0.4"];

 

Can anyone get the hideOnUse to work as expected without resorting to scripting?  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Works for me according to wiki description

Ok, thanks.  I must be doing something wrong, but I have no idea what.  Do you see anything obviously wrong with the addAction code I have above?

[killzone_kid 1331]

I used your code replaced condition and script obviously. Are you saying that the action menu stays open after you activated the item? If this is the case then I would look elsewhere like controls preset or key bindings or maybe even mods

The added action stays in Action menu after the action is used.  I want that action to be removed from Action menu after it is used.

Does the scroll down action menu close or stay open?

[OMAC 254]

It closes after action use, but the darn action is still there when I use action menu (scroll down) again.

[killzone_kid 1331]

Then it works as designed

[OMAC 254]

So to actually remove the added action from the action menu, removeAction must be used?  Looks that way.

[killzone_kid 1331]

Yes, hideOnUse means hide menu after click not item. If you change it to true you can see what is the opposite.

Ok, thanks.  BI should consider adding an option to addAction that removes the added action automatically upon use.....

 

player addAction ["Retake control", "{[_x] joinSilent group player;} foreach units tgrp; _this select 0 removeAction (_this select 2);", nil, 0, false, true, "", "getDammage tank < 0.4"];

 

^^ An example of code that will remove the action upon use.  Could be a nice addition to Biki page....

you can do this yoursef. Put this line 1st line in script activated from action

_this select 0 removeAction (_this select 2);

Done. Cannot be more easier if one tries :)

note that the actual id of the action is passed into the code that is executed by the action. although using _unit removeAction 0 might get you the right one if there aren't many around, it's better to use the provided id to be safe.

^^ Yep.
