addaction [SOLVED] Troubles Passing Variables to addAction
TexasRussian posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hello awesome BI community! This is the first time I'm posting an issue here so any help would be much appreciated, and thank you in advance for the use of your time. 🙂 END GOAL: helicopter spawns (via triggers listening to boolean variable in game) helicopter goes to object (defined in script) helicopter goes to player (defined in script) helicopter returns to base helicopter disappears (via triggers listening to boolean variable in game) and: the addAction has an initial menu that just states "SUPPORTS" then upon selecting deletes that action and adds a subset of supports for the player to use. INTENTION: What I'm trying to do is have ONE .sqf script and pass variables to that script via execVM from a trigger in game. I have created this script using 3 .sqf script files using public and predefined variables in game, and it works. But I want this to work more like a function than a script. So this is my first script which uses private variables. I would like this to remain as ONE .sqf so I can copy this to a new mission and create/define the objects/groups in the game, then pass those using execVM. PROBLEM: Everything works, except addAction transfers the code to a scheduled task and the private variables are undefined there, at least that's how I understand it. CODE THAT WORKS WITH PUBLIC VARIABLES: CODE IM TRYING TO GET WORKING WITH PRIVATE VARIABELS: HOW I'M CALLING THE CODE: *EDIT In the game it errors at: slingloadmain = _player addAction [ "SUPPORTS", { _player removeaction slingloadmain; _activate = false; Is this even possible? -
slingload Helo AttachTo Script without names, adding action to helo
EnvakeoLugaria posted a topic in ARMA 3 - MISSION EDITING & SCRIPTING
Hey guys, I've been playing a bit of the OPTRE mod, and I've talked with one of their devs about a way to attach a vehicle to a helicopter. I have a bit of experience in the 3D editor, and I'm familiar with everything up to more advanced scripting. The way it works is it attaches the MRAP vehicle to the underside of the helicopter, no ropes or anything. The line looks like this, with ___Name being the vehicle names: mrapName attachTo [heloName, ([(typeOf mrapName)] call OPTRE_fnc_PelicanAttachToPoints)] This works if you name the two vehicles, and activate the function, I've done a trigger and addAction, BUT, I want to find out how to run this WITHOUT having to name the vehicles before hand. I am guessing it would be some "find the ID of the MRAP, attachTo, find ID of helo" kinda thing. I would have to think normal sling loading has to do this to an extent, right? Find the closest vehicle, and attach the ropes...I just thought I'd ask if anyone knows where I could start looking for a way to do this. Thanks for any help -Envak
