AddAction Condition Question

[Raddik 10]

Can someone tell me what is wrong with the below addAction code? I have placed it in my init.sqf file. The intended purpose is to run the said script when a player is inside a plane.

takeoff2= _target addaction ["Go","go.sqf",nil,1,false,true,"","(_target isKindof "plane")"];

Any expert insight here would be much appreciated.

Use "" or ' around plane since you're using quotes inside of " "

[Raddik 10]

Like this?

takeoff2= _target addaction ["Go","go.sqf",nil,1,false,true,"","_target isKindof ""plane""];

[kylania 568]

Missed one. :)

takeoff2= _target addaction ["Go","go.sqf",nil,1,false,true,"","_target isKindof ""plane"""];

Hmmm... Still not working. It works with a simpler condition and when i use a specific vehicle's name in place of the first _target...can I use that object name there? I know I can in the condition field but I'm unsure about there.

Just confirmed it is in fact the first _target at the beginning of the code that breaks it. If I change it to a specific vehicle name and I'm in the said vehicle it works. How can I make this work with any plane I get into?

(vehicle player) isKindof?

[Raddik 10]

shk,

isKindof returns a Boolean correct? How would I use that here:

takeoff2= _target addaction

Thanks for the help,

Question, could you show your init.sqf or tell me how you have defined _target in:

takeoff2= _target addaction

Not that I've used addactions that much, but as I've understood them, you can't use the _target that is passed to the action script outside of it (obviously). Or, are you just using a var with same name.

EDIT:

init.sqf

{
_x addaction ["Go","go.sqf",nil,1,false,true,"","(vehicle player) == _target"];
} foreach [plane1,plane2];

The reason why the initial code and the the one above my post won't work is that _target is undefined in the condition scope.

You need to compose the condition string using format:

takeoff2= _target addaction ["Go","go.sqf",nil,1,false,true,"", format ['%1 isKindof "plane", _target]']

You need to compose the condition string using format:

No he doesnt. _target works just fine in the condition parameter. It will refer to the object the action was attached to.

shk, your code has worked perfectly...thank you greatly for clarifying things for me!
