Adding an action from an equipable item

[Jaden Vance 1]

Is it possible to add an action from an equipable item, (In my case, a certain backpack) to appear when the item is eqquiped?

It is possible. The addAction command has a parameter that only shows the action when the code in the parameter is true. In your case, you would probably use the backpack command in the condition parameter.

Would look something like this:

player addAction 
[
    "<title>", 
    {
        params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];
		// some code...
    },
    [],
    1.5, 
    true, 
    true, 
    "",
    "(backpack _orignalTarget) == 'some_classname'", // _target, _this, _originalTarget
    50,
    false,
    "",
    ""
];

You can addAction on player (or unit) if he's equipped with a specific backpack.

What's a specific backpack? For example, a backpack you succeed in naming it. For example a backpack object, from 3den, you placed somewhere on the map and name myBackpack ...

Now you can check (in addAction condition) if:  unitBackpack _this == myBackpack
