Using HoldActionAdd

[Cryptdik 5]

Trying to make a simple objective of approaching a Hunter wreck and a trigger adds a Hold Action to it to "search" the wreck using this:

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd

 

I put this in the OnAct of the trigger but the action doesn't appear:

[hunterwreck1,"Search Wreckage","\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa","\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa","_this distance _target < 3","_caller distance _target < 3",{},{},{task1trigger setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", true]},{},[],10,0,true,false] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd",-2,hunterwreck1];

Bump D: Still no success getting this to work.

Anything you did in terms of debugging and finding the error?

I replaced this with a simple "addAction" setup. The action is created by a BLUFOR PRESENT trigger, and the goal of the action is to set the trigger activation of a second trigger to BLUFOR PRESENT as a means of activating a new trigger that serves to manipulate Task Modules via syncing which works fine. This way it uses:

task1action = hunterwreck1 addAction ["Search Wreckage", {task1trigger setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", true]}];

 

This does work but it doesn't have any holding time which is what I'm going for. So I try to replace that with this in order to make it a Hold action:

[hunterwreck1,"Search Wreckage","\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa","\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa","_this distance _target < 3","_caller distance _target < 3",{},{},{task1trigger setTriggerActivation ["WEST", "PRESENT", true]},{},[],10,0,true,false] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd",-2,hunterwreck1];

 

Using this I don't see an action on the same vehicle that using the simpler AddAction works on. I'm using "remoteExec" because this is going to be a CO-OP mission and from what I've gathered that will call the function via the server or something like that. Should I be using the basic "call" instead of this or will it not work for COOP task setup?

Are you testing this on a dedicated or local multiplayer host?

remoteexec target -2 won't execute the action on the server, only on clients.

That might be the problem if you're hosting your own MP server for testing purposes.

Try changing it to 0.
