Can inGameUISetEventHandler be used to remove A3's default Actions?

[LSValmont 789]

I my quest to find a way to remove Arma 3's default "Heal Self" action that pops up when you are wounded (I want it removed since I have my own healing script UI) and I need a way to do it without mods...

 

Can inGameUISetEventHandler be used for that same effect and can it remove more than one default Action?

A eventhandler handles events, it doesn't remove actions.

But you can block the execution of these actions with it by returning true.

Thank you @Dedmen!

 

Could you help me a little bit more on how to achieve that?

Yeah but how do I find out the name of the default actions? Also I believe this won't hide the actions just hint that you cannot use them? Or is it possible to hide them?  And can it be stacked?

 

Like:

 

inGameUISetEventHandler ["Action", "
	if (_this select 3 == 'DisAssemble') then {
		hint 'You are not allowed to do this'; 
		true
	}
"];

inGameUISetEventHandler ["Action", "
	if (_this select 3 == 'HealSelf') then {
		hint 'You are not allowed to do this'; 
		true
	}
"];

inGameUISetEventHandler ["Action", "
	if (_this select 3 == 'HealOthers') then {
		hint 'You are not allowed to do this'; 
		true
	}
"];

No hint, but the action won't fire.

Don't know of a way, besides config editing.

Why do I need to link the same wiki page multiple times?

This is "set" type EH, which means it will replace previously set EH of the same type. So to remove EH, set another one with empty string "" for the function.

That is too bad, I am doing a super script suit that will replace many mods and the idea is to foment more modless missions since many mods break with updates and are often left "outdated" and that is one of the reason I am doing this scripts package.

 

One of the features of this package is called vMenu and is basically a modless alternative to ACE's menu. It has options to bandage, inject morphine and transfuse blood but A3's default actions need to be hidden for it to work as intended.

 

I guess I've run out of options... but Thank you for clearing this up!

If they are created in ACE with addAction you should be able to delete them with removeAction

 

everything returned by actionIDs should be able to delete

They are not created in ACE, in fact they are a scripted alternative to ACE. The whole idea is to have similar functionality without installing any mods whatsoever (except for CBA that is) .
