Title: Action doesnt work, plz help
Post by: Strikerthemedic on 22 Aug 2004, 22:03:35

Okay ive read the action topic and searched for it over the forum but im having problems with a addon object i downloaded.

This vehicle has a custom action called "Siren on"

I tried triggering this action by typing: policecar action ["Siren on"] in its initialisation field of that police car. (Also tried: policecar action ["Siren on", policecar])

i tried typing the same command in the "on activation" in a move trigger..

None of these seem the work...

Some help?

Thx in advance...

1st of all. NEVER, EVER use triggers to execute things. Vet players dont see em and AI might miss em.

2nd, the syntax is probably in the readme of that addon you're using (as it had a custom action) . Look it up there.
