Formatting Format with addaction correctly

[Acecool]

This gives error:

{call format ["%1 addaction ["Statistics","Scripts/Stats.sqs"], _x"]} forEach _Players

Any ideas how to format it correctly? Thanks in advance.

What exactly yer trying to achieve with that?
If you just want all the dudes to have the same action, use:

Code: [Select]

{_x addaction ["Statistics","Scripts/Stats.sqs"]} forEach _Players

Hi, that doesnt work.

Basically, it adds the action to all units..

Example:
_Players = ["p1","p2","p3","p4","p5", "c1","c2","c3","c4","c5","c6","c7","c8","c9","c10"]

{call format ["%1_Licence_Vehicle_Car=false", _x]} forEach _Players
{call format ["%1_License_Vehicle_Motorcycle=false", _x]} forEach _Players
{call format ["%1_License_Vehicle_Sport=false", _x]} forEach _Players

Not sure if this will help, but:

shouldn't "Scripts/Stats.sqs"

be

"Scripts\Stats.sqs"

If not.........just ignore me.

no, quite the contrary. In the MED, then all's fine using either the \ or the /[\b] but once you PBO the mission, only the / works.


And im not sure that the "call" command should be there. The call command is to call a function, a .sqf or .xsqs file. Using the call command has no use there.

Your problem might be with spacing in the lines. Instead of

Code: [Select]

format [... try

Code: [Select]

format[...
maybe that will help... I suggest if you dont have it to download the Com Ref from the Ed's Depot, or nab a program from our competitors over at flashpoint.gamezone.cz  

*cough cough never said that*

hopefully that helps a bit

Assuming the _Players array looks like

Code: [Select]

_Players = ["p1","p2","p3","p4","p5", "c1","c2","c3","c4","c5","c6","c7","c8","c9","c10"]this...

Code: [Select]

{call format [{%1 addAction ["Statistics","Scripts/Stats.sqs"]}, _x]} forEach _Players...ought to do it.

Wow, it works, thanks :-)

Another problem though, if I get close to an AI player with the added action, I get the action in my menu aswell... and it shows their stats...

That is a feature of the OFP.    When you get close to an object with an Action, you get the action too.     This is often a good thing.

You can fix the action script to make sure on ly the right person uses it with something like

? _this select 0 != _this select 1 : exit

Not guaranteed.

Hi, thanks, Ive been trying to find where to put that, via searching and placing around lol.. Where should I put that? Thanks.

[macguba]

Put it at the start of the script.

[Acecool]

Thanks, it stops them from using it, but...  it still shows up :-/ lol..
