a simple action, can be so difficult, why???

[Gumby]

I have tried to make a helicopter land, using the action LAND..

But it returned an error, ok.. Mayby this action does not exist anymore..

therefor I tried to make a guy sit down, using the action SITDOWN...      

I got the action from LYSTOPOOHÂ's refenrence doc..

What have i made wrong..



_unit = _this select 0

_unit action [sitdown, _unit]


Many thx in advance..

da land command

heliname land "land"

da sit down command

unitname switchmove "effectstandsitdown"

LCD OUT

But how do I write the ACTION script..

_unit action ["actionname"]

Does not seem to work...

[LCD]

it depends on da action u want ;D and it preferable u dont useaction if u dont have 2

so action like drop weapon wil b

unit action ["DROP WEAPON", unit, 0, 0, (primaryweapon unit)]

LCD OUT

Do you know if it is necessary to fill every parameter i the action array..

[LCD]

LCD OUT

[Gumby]

I have tried, but it has no effect...

I tried using this external script, to make a helicopter land..

_unit action ["land",_unit,0,0,0]

But every time i get an error message

    action: type string, expected object

What do I do wrong?

[LCD]

LCD OUT

With help Knut Erik, who told me where to put the commands.
