Multiple AddAction's from Script

[voidbyte 13]

Hello, 

 

I am working on an re-usable Teleport-Script. But I can't get it to work.
Here is what it should do:

Point A should allow people to spread out to point B, C, D, E
But B, C, D, E should only allow people to return to Point A.

 

I used an Infotable as Teleport Object. 
When using the inBuild Script:
 

this addAction ["Visit the Medics", "portScript.sqf"];

and write this into the script:

_telPort =_this select 0;
_caller = _this select 1;
_caller setPos (getPos (telPo_Medic));

it works without problems.

 

So I tried to outsource the script to make it reuseable and easier to edit.
I made the same Infotable and gave it:

this addAction ["Teleport", "portScriptTest.sqf"];

and into the portScriptTest.sqf I wrote:

_telPort =_this select 0;
_caller = _this select 1;

_caller addAction ["Visit the Medics", _caller setPos (getPos (telPo_Medic))];
_caller addAction ["Visit the Basement", _caller setPos (getPos (telPo_Base))];
_caller addAction ["Visit the Airport", _caller setPos (getPos (telPo_Airport))];

...
When using the Table, I get immediately teleported to telPo_Airport. No choices no menu.
Can someone tell me what I did wrong?

Made something similar a while ago, feel free to adapt:

Should be straightforward and at least give some pointers on what you want to do (routing, excluding certain destinations etc).
