I don't have a whole lot to add here, but I'm trying to figure out the "SWITCH WEAPON" action. So far, I've only been able to get any response from it using the two following methods:

_unit action ["SWITCH WEAPON"]
_unit action ["SWITCH WEAPON", _unit]

The only effect I've been able to make from the above is that if the unit has a pistol or AT launcher out, then he will put it away and switch to his rifle. Not quite the effect I'm hoping for, but at least I've gotten a response from it...

The second method can then have any number of parameters after it, with anything in them, to the same effect. Basically, if you have more than 1 parameter, the second one must be the unit. I'm hoping that one of the parameters beyond that will let you tell the unit what weapon or muzzle or magazine to use, but no luck so far...

-----------------------------

I've also gotten some effect from the "USE WEAPON" action, using this syntax:

_unit action ["USE WEAPON", _unit]
_unit action ["USE WEAPON"]

This will make the unit bend down like he is putting his weapon on the ground, then stand back up. HOWEVER, if the unit has an AT weapon selected, then this will make him shoot his RIFLE (!) while it is still on his back!

The above actions might also have something to do with a vehicle's current weapon, so I'll have to experiment with that as well....

Was that info not supplied with the addon via a readme or something?

Besides all that I think this thread is for default game actions not for third party actions.

It would be a very large thread if it included third party actions.

No it didn't came in the readme, but sorry, if this threat is really for the games basic actions... I miss understood. But I know it would be a really big list of actionsâ€¦ but so what? People could use it as referenceâ€¦. It would be coolâ€¦ it could even be a fix postâ€¦

Just a suggestionâ€¦.

Hmmmm......it is a sticky topic already.

Somehow I doubt a lot of people would scan a very large topic looking for the third party actions they want.

@C4_tnt

Scripting-wise, what you are talking about isn't the same as the rest of the actions in this thread. This thread deals only with how to use the "action" command. I'm sure the addon you have uses the "animate" command to open/close the doors.

Well, if the plane has an action that lets you open the front or the rear, then that is sorta what we are talking about. In fact, I'm now guessing that user-defined actions like that are what the "USER TYPE" action refers to. But until someone figures that action out, you will have to use the "animate" command, or whatever other scripting commands the plane's action actually runs.

I'd suggest emailing the author if his readme was incomplete.

Good stuff thnx guys

C4_tnt, you'll have to un-pbo the addon and look for the animation bit in the config. That'll tell you how to open the doors.

Hi!
What is format for action "LOAD MAGAZINE"?
Thanks

Planck · « **Reply #85 on:** 02 Jul 2005, 17:54:11 »

Good question. ;D

Unfortunately I don't think anyone knows.....yet.

Actually this thread isn't for asking questions about actions.
It is in fact for people to list any new actions they find and how to use them.

Or indeed any actions we know about and how to use them if we don't know already.
