Good news: 1.92 addAction returns an action id!
« on: 23 Aug 2003, 23:12:43 »
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)  :P
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 ;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
