add action

[456820]

how do i add actions and make it play an action then remove the action option
i want an action called Cut parachute.
and make it play one of the hand behind head animations using playmove and switchmove.
then let him drop to the ground from 2 metres high (is that sage)

i have it so he will always land in a small patch of trees then when he is just above the ground i want to set pos him 2 metres high wich i have dont but would that drop him imediatley after if so i can use gotyo "loop"
then i want it to keep looping so he stays 2 metres above ground until the action is performed thean i want him to frop.
i have already dont the set pos in tree ting but none of the rest

EDIT - I have tried it but when im set posed in the air on the loop i seem to die after a second?

i had a go like this
1. i had a trigger with west present
condition : this
on activation : [] exec "parachute.sqs"
in parachute.sqs was

Code: [Select]

off1 action ["EJECT", HELO]
[] exec "tree.sqs"
then in tree.sqs was

Code: [Select]

~14
#loop
off1 setpos [getpos off1 select 0, getpos off1 select 1, 2]
hint "Damn i got stuck in a tree. Use the action menu to get back down"
cut = Player addaction ["Cut parachute","cut.sqs"]
?obj5 goto "exit"
goto "loop"
#exit
exit
(i think its seriously wrong)
and then in cut.sqs was

Code: [Select]

~1
obj5
off1 playmove "FXStandSurUniv"
~2
off1 setpos [getpos off1 select 0, getpos off1 select 1, 1]
~0.2
off1 setpos [getpos off1 select 0, getpos off1 select 1, 0]
~0.5
off1 switchmove "null"
~0.5
Player Removeaction cut
the thing is it gave me a load of actions as it is repeating the add action line
and the noise for the hint keeps repeating as it is repeating the hint aswell.

how can i make it so the hint will only show once and the action only shows once but the setpos line keeps repeating until obj5=true
then when it is its lets me down

You know why it gave u loads of ctions of the same things is because you looped it... try it like this

Code: [Select]

~14
hint "d**n i got stuck in a tree. Use the action menu to get back down"
#loop
off1 setpos [getpos off1 select 0, getpos off1 select 1, 2]
?obj5 goto "exit"
goto "loop"
#exit
cut = Player addaction ["Cut parachute","cut.sqs"]
off1 setpos [getpos off1 select 0, getpos off1 select 1, 1]
exit

NOTE* I changed the place where (code) is from your script.

cut = Player addaction ["Cut parachute","cut.sqs"]

and

hint "d**n i got stuck in a tree. Use the action menu to get back down"
you could also name the parachute to for eg para and type in cut.sqs

Code: [Select]

unassignvehicle player
~0.5
player setpos [(getpos para select 0),(getpos para select 1),2]
~0.5
deletevehicle para

right ive also tried player setdammage 0
in the loop command but it still goes to the screen where it shows your dead even thought your not.

ive also got a feeling this isnt right
?obj5 goto "exit"

?obj5 : goto "exit"
