Can you parse the 'this' magic variable as a parameter, if so how? [Solved]

[Tom212 11]

Hey all,

 

I've written some scripts that accept objects as parameters but if I try to execute them inside an object's init while parsing 'this' I get undeclared variable errors.

 

Is there anyway around this?

 

Thanks in advance!

Share your code.

I'm running this in the init line of an object. Attempting to hand over 'this' as a parameter to be used inside of hackingDevice.sqf. The scripts themselves work fine, I know this because I've been using them up until now using declared variables instead of magic variables and they function as expected, I haven't shared those to avoid confusion. My question is specifically regarding the use of the 'this' magic variable as a parameter.

this addAction ["Hack Dish", {[this, 0.4, "scripts\Hacking\Outcomes\dishHacked.sqf"] execVM "scripts\Hacking\hackingDevice.sqf";}, nil, 1.5, false, true, "", "true", 5];

    "Hack Dish", 
    {
        params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"]; 
        [_target, 0.4, "scripts\Hacking\Outcomes\dishHacked.sqf"] execVM "scripts\Hacking\hackingDevice.sqf";
    }, 
    nil, 
    1.5, 
    false, 
    true, 
    "", 
    "true", 
    5
];
