a simple action, can be so difficult, why???
« on: 21 Feb 2003, 22:23:06 »

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..

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????
