If the createDiaryRecord command fails, it returns a null record.

Before Arma 3 v2.00, isNull did not work with the diary record type and diaryRecordNull did not exist. In order to verify a null record, it is possible to create a variable and compare against it:

private _recordNull = objNull createDiaryRecord []; private _createdRecord = player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["Title", "Description"]]; if (_createdRecord isEqualTo _recordNull) then { hint "Failed"; };
Groups:
Briefing

Syntax

Syntax:
player createDiaryRecord [subject, textInfo, task, taskState, showTitle]
Parameters:
player: Object
subject: String
textInfo: String or Array of Strings - can be:
task: Task - (Optional, default taskNull)
taskState: String - (Optional, default "NONE") changes the state of the given task. Can be one of:
  • "NONE"

  • "SUCCEEDED"
  • "FAILED"
  • "CANCELED"
since Arma 3 logo black.png1.96
showTitle: Boolean - (Optional, default true) whether or not to show title in the description section as well
Return Value:

Example 5:
player createDiaryRecord [ "Diary", ["Image", "<img image='\A3\Ui_F_Curator\Data\Logos\arma3_curator_artwork.jpg' width='500' height='800' />"], taskNull, "", false ];
Example 6:

When adding multiple diary records, be aware that they appear in reverse order. ie the first one you add will appear last and the last one you add will be first.

It seems that the task parameter has no effect in Arma 3 because the task entry in the briefing menu is created when the task itself was created.

<log>, as createDiaryLink, requires declaring both subject and ID of the record belonging to said subject. Otherwise generated text will not be clickable or might open a non-existing record (behaviour similar to clicking on map when viewing Diary).
