Title: Addaction tute
Post by: The-Architect on 23 Sep 2004, 11:58:52

Thanks to Macguba for explaining what's to be done about dodgy or difficult tutorials.  ;D

I want to learn addaction.

I found this tutorial in the Ed depot,

Addaction removeaction by uiox

I have no idea what to do with it, nor is there a readme or explanation.

Can anyone help?

Cheers.

Hmm, it would seem he just added an example mission, running scripts with addaction commands inside them.... However, I don't see any comments for any of the scripts..

If you would like, I'll write an addaction tutorial for you.

I'd be chuffed if you would fella.
The one by uiox is pretty good if you alrerady know what your doing, but pretty useless if you don't :o
Using radios to trigger triggers could be another 1 that perhaps needs revised, 1 that covers only bein able to use a radio in a certain area, ie. where a radio is placed would be top drawer.

hey its pretty easy altough I self dont know how to make an addaction command the runs a script with parameters. This is how you run a script with no parameters:

1. make a trigger
2. in the on activation put:
On Activation: unitname addaction ["kill myself!","killself.sqs"]

thats how you type it. But if you do it like this, or the script does not contain a removeaction line modify it like this:

On Activation: action1=unitname addaction ["kill myself!","killself.sqs"]
On Deactivation: unitname removeaction action1

Eh I hope it helps you!

On the subject of addaction..
Very few people seem to know about this..
But..

Code: [Select]

acction1 = this addaction ["Expode self",{bomb1="laserguidedbomb" camcreate getpos this}]
You can of course change that camcreate code, but it works on lots of stuff.. An usfull example is :

Code: [Select]

acction2 = this addaction ["Expode self",{[guy1,guy2,this] exec "script.sqs"}]
