AddAction doesn't show

[Bunny75 10]

I have a script that creates a small camp with nets, crates and antenna. What I need is to add an action to antenna that would delete the base.

Now, this won't work:

base_antenna = createVehicle ["Land_Antenna", [(getPos pos_target select 0) - 9, (getPos pos_target select 1) -1, getPos pos_target select 2], [], 0, "NONE"];
_unbase_act = base_antenna addAction ["Deconstruct FOB", "uncreate_base.sqf"];

It creates the antenna, but I can't get any action on it?

Before the camp is made I used a script (got from here) that makes a c130 drop a cargo container and to it I could add an action:

_bpos1 = _c130b_plane ModelToWorld [0,-12,-5.5];
base_crate = "Misc_cargo_cont_net1" createVehicle _bpos1;
_base_act = base_crate addAction ["Deploy FOB", "create_base.sqf"];

I tried the exact same code with antenna with no luck!?

Antenna's are a pain in the arse to put actions on. All I got to say.

Yeah. Seems so. I just changed the antenna to cargo container and works like a charm. So antenna has to go.

Why is it hard to add actions to antennae? is it because they're large and the player is too far from the center of the object to get the action?

if that's the case... on the addAction, add the action to the player, with a condition being "player is so-and-so distance from antenna"

I just tested it, this will work:

_unbase_act = player addAction ["Deconstruct FOB", "uncreate_base.sqf", "", 1, false, true, "", "_this distance base_antenna < 20"];

couldn't you just make the addaction area larger on the antenna as well?

[JDog 11]

I suppose... but that's beyond my talents and knowledge of how to do lol. Please do tell :)

<sigh> my bad.. I could have sworn one of the parameters were a range to choose when the addaction appeared.

But to redeem myself how bout this?

base_antenna = createVehicle ["Land_Antenna", [(getPos pos_target select 0) - 9, (getPos pos_target select 1) -1, getPos pos_target select 2], [], 0, "NONE"];
_barrel = createVehicle ["Barrel4", [(getPos pos_target select 0) - 9, (getPos pos_target select 1) -1, getPos pos_target select 2], [], 0, "NONE"];
_barrel attachTo [base_antenna,[0,0,-2]];_barrel addAction ["Deconstruct FOB", "uncreate_base.sqf"];
deleteCollection _barrel;
