Event on watch opened

[_SCAR 139]

Hello,

I'd like to display additional information when the watch is opened. Is there any way to capture the event that a user has opened their watch from a script?

Here you go.

 

Cheers

Thank you but this isn't an event, are you suggesting that I spawn a process that checks for this every 0.02 seconds or so?

Found it. For anyone else wondering:

You'd still need to check every so often with inputAction like a waitUntil statement.

So I see no need for inputAction and I recommend GOM's post, since the keys alone don't always work specifically for their function at all times.

Maybe he wants to use it inside UI Event Handler?

I dunno, never mentioned such so I'm just going with whatever.

input action method is probably the worst way to go in this case though, that is for sure.

Which one? It's not an action "in menu" like "disassemble".

"Watch" or "WatchToggle" aren't detected by the ingameUISetEH "action", if I'm right. Neither "rearm"...

I don't know how to say that in English but input actions (UI EH "action" doesn't fire) seem to me different from Arma 3 actions (UI EH "action" fires).

Aaaand to complete the circle:

_id = (findDisplay 46) displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", {
	params ["_display","_key"];
	if (_key isEqualTo 24) then {systemchat format ["Watch opened, it is %1.",[daytime,"HH:MM:SS"] call BIS_fnc_timeToString]
	} else {systemchat "This is not your watch."};
}];

Cheers

Thanks Grumpy. I just forgot displayAddEventHandler was an UI EH. I focused on UI in IngameSetUIEH... I lost my Latin in all these action/inputaction, UI EH, display's and so on.

Even if I already scripted some lines with that !

Welp. Solution found then.

I am using the example on the page I've posted and it works beautifully. Of course I'm running it inside a spawn.
