Good news: 1.92 addAction returns an action id!

[Killswitch]

Yep. Just tried it.

In 1.92beta, the addAction command actually returns an "action id", beginning at 0. I take it I don't have to tell you the usefullness of the fact that addAction now works as designed.  ;D

Code: [Select]

...
a = addAction ["Dude!", "dude.sqs"]              <- a gets the value 0
...
...
b = addAction ["Yeah?", "yeah.sqs"]              <- b will be 1
...

Here's hoping I'm not just stating something that has worked for a while.... :-X

*EDIT. I'm a fool. This works in at least 1.91 too. Sorry for the commotion... back to the closet with me.

Thats good.

But I have allready gotten used to give each action I add an ID

_MyAction = Player AddAction [BlahBlah,"Blah.sqs"]
Player RemoveAction _MyAction


It might be good news to those that are new to Ofp editing..  ;D

Oh dear... it works in 1.91 too  

(Goes and hides under a rock)

My bad. Ok, to add insult to injury, how long has addAction returned proper "index numbers"?

My oh my...I'm ashamed now..."the boy who cried addAction"

Hehe. No harm done (I think)  
How could you know??

...

Well, you could have tested it before you gave everyone good news about something that has been avaible for a looong time...

Haahaahaa! Just kidding..   ;D
I realy dunno about how long the addaction returned the index numbers.
I thought the only way to add and remove an action was to give it an ID
Well, you learn something everyday I guess..

Yep, I definitely could (and should). I was just so sure I had tried it in 1.91 and not seen it work...

Blames it on age and too little coffee...  ;D

Anyway...move on people, nothing to do here except wallow in human misery. Go on and do new wonderfull stuff with addAction.  ;D
