How to have action / option on someone - apex protocol example

[Wiki 1558]

Hi guys.

 

Does anyone know how to make the action like in Apex Protocol when we have to rescue the gendarme?

 

Have the action "untie" with the small cicle getting filled when we keep pressing "action" key?

 

Thanks

Oh great, thanks!

Just what I've been looking for!

However, where can I find the icon list?

 Default path is: \a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\

 

But you can create your own once,

Use this files to create a configuration for them:

 

CfgHoldactions.cpp

/**
 * CfgHoldActions
 *
 * Author: Steve aka Salutesh
 *
 * Description:
 * These configurations are used for the ExileClient_gui_holdActionAdd function within the scavange system to configure the icons.
 */

class CfgExileHoldActions
{
	class Default { 
		icon = "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_search_ca.paa";
	};
	class Exile_HA_Icon_Apple { 
		icon = "holdaction\holdAction_appletree_ca.paa";
	};
	class Exile_HA_Icon_Fruit { 
		icon = "holdaction\holdAction_fruit_ca.paa";
	};
	class Exile_HA_Icon_Pumpkin { 
		icon = "holdaction\holdAction_pumpkin_ca.paa";
	};
	class Exile_HA_Icon_Water { 
		icon = "holdaction\holdAction_water_ca.paa";
	};
	class Exile_HA_Icon_Woodlogs { 
		icon = "holdaction\holdAction_woodlogs_ca.paa";
	};
	class Exile_HA_Icon_Wreck { 
		icon = "holdaction\holdAction_wreck_ca.paa";
	};
};

 

Hold action creation function:

params [["_object", player], ["_label", "Search"],	["_idleIcon", "default"],	["_progressIcon", "default"],	["_conditionShow", "nil"],	["_conditionAction", "nil"],	["_startCode", {}],	["_tickCode", {}],	["_completeCode", {}],	["_interruptCode", {}],	["_arguments",[],[[]]],	["_duration", 0.5],	["_priority", 0],	["_remove", true]];

private _holdAction = [];
private _holdActionConfig = missionConfigFile >> "CfgHoldActions";
private _idleIconSelection = getText (_holdActionConfig >> _idleIcon >> "icon");
private _progressIconSelection = getText (_holdActionConfig >> _progressIcon >> "icon");

_holdAction = [_object,	_label,	_idleIconSelection,	_progressIconSelection,	_conditionShow,	_conditionAction, _startCode, _tickCode, _completeCode, _interruptCode,	_arguments,	_duration, _priority, _remove, false] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;
_holdAction
