addEventHandler trouble

[laulau 0]

i've searched in this forum to see if i can find the solution to my problem, but i didn't succeed. So here is what i want:

I'm usin the BAS_satcom weapon. I want the player to select it as a weapon and fire from it to send a radio message.

So i used it:

this addEventHandler ["Fired", {if ((_this select 1) == "BAS_Satcom") then {Radio01=true}}]

Radio01 is a public variable activating a trigger which executes a script showing a sidechat text and changing the waypoints of a plane which comes to the player to bomb a town.

I tried without giving ammo to the BAS-satcom. the BAS_satcom radio sound is played but it seems that the public variable doesn't activate the trigger cause the sidechat script is not shown and of course the plane never comes to bomb the town.

So i added BAS_Satcom ammo, thinking it could be the reason why it doesn't work. Now when the player chooses the BAS_Satcom weapon, 100 ammos are shown but when the player fires the satcom, no sound is playing and the trigger is not activated.

Does someone knows how to do what i want and could he help me?

I dont have time to check your formats etc, but you can use the following line in the INIT line of your guy to check exactly what the fired handler is giving you.

This addeventhandler ["fired",{hint format ["%1",_this]}]

Hope that helps you a bit.

thx. I didn't think of it. It should help me.

EDIT: Well, i just tried it and the line displays info only if i shoot with a gun. If i shoot with the satcom or the laser designator, i get nothing. Thx again for your answer even if it didn't solve my problem. If i find a way to make it work, i'll post it here.

Maybe you would be better to add an action to the unit as long as he HASWEAPON the satcom.

yeah, it's what i've done. If he has the satcom weapon he can call radio messages, if he doesn't he can't. I stop looking for the solution about the fire eventhandler. TJ, thx to have looked at my problem.
