hold action "capture"

[Jubal Savid 10]

im not sure what's gone wrong

here is what i have

s1 is the name of a ai 

i want s1 to be capturable by a hold action 

the sqf file reads 

[s1,
"Capture"
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"_this distance _target < 3",
"_caller distance _target < 3",
{},
{},
{ [s1] join p},
{},    
[],    
12,
0,
true,
false
] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0,s1];

help plox

Looks good to me as long as s1 and p are defined (on the editor or otherwise).

p should be player I assume.

Is it possible you have [s1,[s1 ?

[Jubal Savid 10]

i did, but i removed the extra and it still dont work

[s1,
"Capture"
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"_this distance _target < 3",
"_caller distance _target < 3",
{},
{},
{ [s1] join p},
{},    
[],    
12,
0,
true,
false
] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0,s1];

current 

the missing warning pops up when i first load the mission

[RCA3 593]

Blind me 😐, you're missing a comma (,) after "Capture"!

[Jubal Savid 10]

Still dont work,

im also trying to do this with a sqf file and a trigger 

my sqf files are in "missions>UN.tanoa"

i have the trigger set up for condition 

p distance s1 < 5

this = [] execVM "slave.sqf";

[RCA3 593]

Don't use engine variables as handles or otherwise. this is reserved by Arma for specific purposes, so you need to use something else there e.g. null, 0, yourvariable, etc.

BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd is already checking for distance before activation "_this distance _target < 3", so discard the trigger and just write on s1's init field:

if (isServer) then{null = [] execVM "slave.sqf"};

Why are you remote executing this code? Are you in MP , and again, why such code ?

 

PS: your holdActionAdd works fine between p as player and s1 as... what unit/asset you want , if you can close its center position up to 3 meters. For big vehicles, that is not enough (5 or 7m).

The code around this function is...weird.

SP/MP, if you don't have any other interaction, so just between p and s1

in init field of s1 (or p, or any object 😊)

 

[s1,
"Capture",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa",
"_this distance _target < 3",
"_caller distance _target < 3",
{},
{},
{ [s1] join p},
{},     
[],     
12,
0,
true,
false
] call BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd;

 

That's all folks!
If you need more behavior, like interaction with any enemy, think about cursorObject and more condition on it.

No!

It's weird to filter this function for server execution, then remote execute everywhere! just forget the remote execution (and this condition about server)

In SP, the remote execution is totally useless! In MP, each time you remoteExec something for nuts, you are increasing the network flow for nuts.

I don't know what else he has inside slave.sqf so I kept it has per his design choice. And his choice of remoteexec.

 

edit: do as @pierremgi suggested.
