Need to run code when asset is in a certain area

[felipechapmanfromm 5]

I am a new to scripting so I need help running a piece of code when the player is within a 5 meter radius. The asset is Land_SatellitePhone_F. I have tried if nearestObject is equal to Land_SatellitePhone_F the run {}.

Thanks, felipe.

hi, you can try with Distance or Distance2D.

with waituntil or something like that https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/waitUntil

 

waituntil { player distance2D asset <= 5 }

Thanks, I  will try this

[felipechapmanfromm 5]

waituntil {_dist = player distance2D Land_SatellitePhone_F <= 5 };

if (_dist) then{
hint "It works!
};

This is my code, but it doesn't do anything. Is it because it is not recognising the asset, do I need to declare it somewere else?

Thanks, Felipe

You mix some basics for scripting codes.

Read yourself. Your waitUntil has no sense (= , <=). "Land_SatellitePhone_F" is a class. Land_SatellitePhone_F can be a variable name (why not?) but your need to place it in the init field of your sat phone. "if (_dist)"    is checking for a Boolean (true or false) Here _dist seems to be a number...

waitUntil {player distance2D yourPhone <= 5};

I have been trying to get this working but I have got nowhere, could you please correct my code.

private ["_player"];

_player = param[0];

_dist = player distance2D Land_SatellitePhone_F <= 5 
 
waituntil {
if (_dist)exitWith{true};
_player addAction ["Open GUI","[] spawn BIS_fnc_showTestDialog;"];
while {countDown > -1} do {
hint str(countDown);
};
};

See addAction parameters (all you need in for the condition code, 8th param). I do some effort when people take time to read the answers.

Thanks for that, my script is now working!
