How to pass _caller (addAction) into a string in setWaypointStatements ??

[tom.machu 1]

Hi,

is there a way around it??

waitUntil { player inArea "evac" };
	player addAction 
	[
	"set up a radio",
		{
			params ["_target", "_caller", "_id", "_args"];
			[_target, _id] remoteExec ["removeAction"];
			_target = _this select 0;
			_caller = _this select 1;

    		private _trg3 = createTrigger ["EmptyDetector", (getPos _caller)];
			_trg3 setTriggerArea [25, 25, 0, false];
			_trg3 setTriggerActivation ["ALPHA", "NOT PRESENT", false];
			_trg3 setTriggerStatements ["this", "_caller sideChat 'we are ready'", ""];
			1 setRadioMsg "Call helicopter"; 
		}, 
		nil, 
		1, 
		true,
		true,
		"", 
		"true",
		5, 
		false,
		"", 
		""];

one way could be first use setVariable

 

_trg3 setVariable ["caller",_caller];

 

then in statement:

 

thisTrigger getVariable "caller"

 

assuming you are using triggers and not waypoints

 

 

And assuming triggers can hold variables through setVariables. If not have to think something else

Also because addAction runs on client you could just use the player variable

An area, an addAction, a trigger, setWaypointStatements...

It seems to me overcomplicated.

Your addAction just need a condition like _this inArea yourArea or something about a waypoint completion (idk what you're doing with waypoints)

The addAction is already a menu. You don't need to add a radio trigger.

Works just fine. Thank you!
