Onmapsingleclick move a unit

[pang 0]

hi folks

i don´t really get into that onmapsingleclick thingy...

what i basically want to do is:

add a unit a local action that sets a specific object to the "onmapclicked" position.

how would such a script would have to look like?

sry, i know it´s a real basic question, but the search could help me

So are you saying that you want to add an entry to a players action menu, that when selected moves some object to the place on the map that they clicked?

Pang, try this:

To add the teleport action to a player unit

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">actionid = player addAction ["Teleport", "teleport.sqs"]

To later remove it

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">player removeAction actionid

The script teleport.sqs

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">teleportee = _this select 0

hint "Click on map to teleport"

onMapSingleClick { teleportee setPos _pos; onMapSingleClick {}}

To move something else than yourself, you can use something like this:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

hint "Click on map to teleport"

onMapSingleClick { someobject setPos _pos; onMapSingleClick {}}

That would move the object called "someobject" to the map location you click.

thanks alot killswitch!

i used a set of two scripts, but your suggestion tied it up to one.

if anyone´s curious:

i needed this script to modifiy vektorboson´s satellite script. you can now set the satellite´s cameratarget via the mapclick.

the useraction entry should make sure it runs only local on the observer´s machine im mp.

works great in contribution with the coc arty

I´d like to do the same but:

To a MP mission where the action should only be able to the team leader (wich are with his group on board of a chopper) to execute a Fast rope insertion on the desired location (using snipyr Suport pack files)

I have pretty good ideas to story lines and missions but I´m a complete moron on editing scripts.

Thnx in advance
