Please explain addAction to me.

[draoth 13]

Hello everyone!

 

So i know how to use addAction in the way the wiki told me (Run a script) , but what if i want to increase a variable of something that only exists in this script.

 

Lets say i have a local variable called: "_speed"

I can't use:  

_Car addaction ["Faster:", "_speed + 10"];

I also can't do this: 

_Car addaction ["Faster:", "[_speed] speed.sqf"];

        (And in speed.sqf :

_Car = _this select 0; _speed+10;)

 

I can't seem to find any answers on the forums, so i hope you can help me with this. 

Remember i'm not that experienced with arma scripting. (scripting in general).

 

 

Draoth.

"_x" is local variable, you need global or make it publicVariable. For example:

 

script:

speed=0; ##(you need to define it before you use addaction)

...

 

addaction:

_Car addaction ["Faster:", "speed=speed+10;publicVariable 'speed';"];

 

You can test it via hint 

 

hint format ["My speed variable: %1", speed];

Thank you for answering this fast. but what if i want to keep it local? The _speed is is for a car you can spawn. So i don't want everyones car to speed up if one person uses the action.

addaction is local so it will run only for one player. Just remove publicVariable and it shouldn't be broadcasted to others :)
