Title: action command
Post by: aetchell on 12 Mar 2007, 17:32:40

Has anyone had any luck getting the action command to successfully work? Ive tried it on: SIT, SITDOWN and WEAPONONBACK and no joy.

Ive tried the following

unitname action ["SIT",unitname];
this action ["SIT",this];
this action ["SIT"];
unitname action ["SIT"];
unitname action "SIT;

I either get debug errors or nothing happens

All commands have been tried  in the unit init field, and ive even tried activating them when a waypoint is reached, but no joy.

can anyone help, pleeeeaaaseee!

regards
Ash

The sit action works only when the unit is either in 'Safe' or in 'Careless' behaviour.

How I tested this was I put

Code: [Select]

this setBehaviour "safe"in the unit's init field and then

Code: [Select]

unitname action ["SITDOWN",unitname]in a radio trigger and worked fine, the guy sat down (once I activated the trigger)..

Didn't get the weapononback to work though, it requires two parameters, it seems the example in the wiki is faulty..  :dunno:
As the second parameter I tried the unit's name, and then the weapon it was holding but no go...

Is there a comprehensive list of all the action commands available in ArmA? I had a quick look in the resources but couldn't find it.

Thank you very much, kind sir. (Sorry, I just watched a clip of Family Guy.)

I would love to have that WeaponOnBack action to work. Has anyone found anything that works?

For Weapon On Back, this works:

dude setbehaviour "SAFE";
dude playmove "AidlPercMstpSnonWnonDnon04";

Unit must be in SAFE or CARELESS behavior in order for unit to keep the weapon on his back.  Otherwise the playmove will be temporary:  Unit puts weapon on back, then takes it back to hand right away.
