Examples

Example 1:

Setup an object as intel from its init attribute in the editor.
Basic version including picture, title, description, recipients and sides that can interact with it:
[this] call BIS_fnc_initIntelObject; if (isServer) then { // Diary picture: this setVariable [ "RscAttributeDiaryRecord_texture", "a3\structures_f_epc\Items\Documents\Data\document_secret_01_co.paa", // Path to picture true ]; // Diary Title and Description: [ this, "RscAttributeDiaryRecord", ["New Intel", "The enemies have a cave troll!"] // Array in format [Title, Description] ] call BIS_fnc_setServerVariable; // Diary entry shared with (follows BIS_fnc_MP target rules): this setVariable ["recipients", west, true]; // Sides that can interact with the intel object: this setVariable ["RscAttributeOwners", [west], true]; };

Example 2:

To set up an object as intel from its init attribute in the editor with a custom addAction title, replace the first line of Example 1 with the following: if (hasInterface) then { this addAction [ // Custom addAction Title: "Pick up laptop", {[_this, "action"] spawn BIS_fnc_initIntelObject;}, [], 10, true, true, "", "isPlayer _this && {_this distance _target < 2} && {(side group _this) in (_target getVariable ['RscAttributeOwners', [west, east, resistance, civilian]])}" ]; };

Example 3:

Set up an object as intel from its init attribute in the editor.
Basic version plus curator and scripted event handlers: [this] call BIS_fnc_initIntelObject; if (isServer) then { // Diary picture: this setVariable [ "RscAttributeDiaryRecord_texture", "a3\structures_f_epc\Items\Documents\Data\document_secret_01_co.paa", // Path to picture true ]; // Diary Title and Description: [ this, "RscAttributeDiaryRecord", ["New Intel", "The enemies have a cave troll!"] // Array in format [Title, Description] ] call BIS_fnc_setServerVariable; // Diary entry shared with (follows BIS_fnc_MP target rules): this setVariable ["recipients", west, true]; // Sides that can interact with the intel object: this setVariable ["RscAttributeOwners", [west], true]; // Register intel object with Zeus as curator editable (_zeus is the curator module): _zeus addCuratorEditableObjects [[this], false]; // Add Zeus scripted event: [_zeus, "IntelObjectFound", {hint "Intel found"}] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; // Add a scripted event that notifies all clients via systemChat when the intel is found: [ this, "IntelObjectFound", { params ["", "_foundBy"]; private _msg = format ["Intel found by %1", name _foundBy]; _msg remoteExec ["systemChat", 0]; } ] call BIS_fnc_addScriptedEventHandler; }; Although both scripted event handlers supply a reference to the intel object, it is deleted from the mission almost immediately, so it could already be null when queried.
