How to make a players addAction stay visible in vehicles?

[jw custom 56]

Was a little unsure how to title this thread!

When i add a action to a player like this...

_action = player addAction ["Status", "status.sqf",[],-1,false];

...the action dissapear when entering a vehicle. If i then also add the action to the vehicle i got 2 "Status" actions in the action menu when standing next to the vehicle.

How do i keep the players "Status" action visible/accessable when entering a vehicle?

[] spawn {
 waituntil {!isnull player};
 private ["_id","_veh"];
 while {true} do {
   waituntil {vehicle player == player};
   if (!isnil "_veh") then { _veh removeaction _id };
   _id = player addAction ["Action text here", "scriptname.sqf"];
   waituntil {vehicle player != player};
   player removeaction _id;
   _veh = vehicle player;
   _id = _veh addAction ["Action text here", "scriptname.sqf"];
 };
};

There is now a much easier way in Arma 2, although you have to do it for every vehicle.

Use the last condition param in addAction to detect whether you are in the vehicle or not.

Eg: add both actions with a condition for the vehicle action.

Use whatever condition you deem suitable. Eg: "vehicle player != player" or "player in _target", etc.

player addAction ["Options...", "script.sqf", [], 1, false, true, "", ""];
_vehicle addAction ["Options...", "script.sqf", [], 1, false, true, "", "vehicle player != player"];

"Easier" is debatable as you said you have to do that to every single vehicle. The spawn you can just paste into init.sqf and be done with it. :)

My suggestion:

while {true} do {
   sleep 0.1;
   _vehicle = (vehicle player);
   _action = _vehicle addAction ["Status", "status.sqf",[],-1,false];
   waitUntil {not ((vehicle player) == _vehicle)};
   _vehicle removeaction _action;
};
