Action command

[angusjm]

Does anyone have a list of all of the possible actions that you can use with the action command.

I wish to make a fairly complex script, involving many AI units moving to ammocrates, taking weapons and then getting into their appropriate vehicles.

Any help would be appreciated. ;D

how cld you make an action that isnt on that list...like having an action where you cld kill smeone using the unitname setdammage 1 command but so its under the action menu!

wld it be smething like..

str_action_unitname setdammage 1

?

[deaddog]

Look in the official command reference for the "addaction" command.  You can use that to execute a script to do anything you want.

Hope this helps.

[titan]

it only tells u for scripts, im also looking for a none script one, so u can have it in a trigger or smething!

[macguba]

Pretty much anything you can put in a script, you can put in a trigger.   You can certainly use actions in the On Activation field of triggers.

What you are talking about involves the addaction command ... look it up in the command ref.

Before you go pulling your hair out trying to get these to work, please realize that nonone has ever been able to figure out how to get some them to work...like the action that supposedly reloads a weapon. The reload action simply does not work, or has some kind of crazy syntax that nobody has found out yet.

Good luck.

[angusjm]

So...  what would be the syntax to order someone to getin a chopper as the pilot?

[Artak]

try
unitname assignasdriver vehiclename
unitname ordergetin true

[angusjm]

Thanks, I was trying to use the action command for this.

I was also trying to use the action command to get a unit to pickup weapons from ammocrates...

Would I use the action command for this, or is there something else?

[titan]

wldnt the only use of the getin chopper and pick up ammo from crate action only be useful for the AI, as it is automattic for the player. So things smething like an action that wld let you, say...create a unit, like i said in a previous post. Or wld you have to do it via a script?
