Add action for west only?

[Gaffa 0]

Hi,

I'm trying to make a Team vs Team objective based mission. One of the objectives west have to steal some documents from the east camp.

I have this is the init field for the evidence file...

this addaction ["Collect Documents", "collect.sqf"]

But both west and east can take the documents....

Any help appreciated :)

Maybe put a trigger around the documents that only adds the action if a West person is within 1 or 2 meters of it. It will still have the option for an East person to take it but any west guy who is dumb enough to walk up to it with an east guy right there deserves to have it stolen from him.

In your init.sqf:

{
if ((side _x) == west) then 
{
	_x addAction ["Collect Documents","collect.sqf"];		
};
} foreach AllUnits;

That's how to add an action to everyone on a particular side at least.

For your purposes something like this might be better:

this addAction ["Collect Documents","collect.sqf",[],1,false,true,"","(side _this) == west"];

Put that in the documents init and the action will only appear for western units.

Cheers guys. :)

I will try both and see which one works the best.

In the script "collect.sqf" you could check the side.

if (side (_this select 1) == WEST) then
{
    Code to execute after the side of the unit, which had activated the action is WEST.
};

Thanks SNKMAN, works a treat! :)

Edit, both yours and Kylania's work a treat, but I think I'll use Kylania's as only west get the option to collect the documents. :)

Thanks again!
