CEEEB VS ACTIONS

I'm working on figuring out the ArmA actions

gameLogic = a gamelogic. It seems any unit may initialize the action, irrespective of which unit it to feel the effects. player = soldier.

Syntax

Parameters of scripting function 'action':

<object> action [<type>]
<object> action [<type>, <target>]
<object> action [<type>, <target>, additional parameters]

• unit = Object: pointer to the unit that should perform this action (if vehicle is given, its commander is used)
• type = String: name of action type - see below
• target = Object: target object

AUTOHOVER

helicoptername action ["AUTOHOVER", helicoptername]

Toggles hovering on and off. (Only works if player is pilot)

ChopperOne action ["AUTOHOVER", ChopperOne]

CANCELACTION

["CANCELACTION", <target>]

unit1 action["cancelAction", unit2] unit2 will not complete his action. note this may be useful as units seem to keep track of actions performed upon them that have not been completed, such as deactivateMine when no mine is around.

CANCELLAND

planename action ["CANCELLAND", planename]

Cancel autopilot landing for 'planename'.

PlaneOne action ["CANCELLAND", PlaneOne]

CANCELTAKEFLAG

DEACTIVATE

Soldier 'unitname' will deactivate a satchel charge that has been placed by unitname2.
This happens from a distance (i.e. unitname will not walk up to the charge to deactivate it, but do it 'remotely').
If unitname2 is nearby the charge when it is being deactivated it will end up back in its inventory.

unit1 action ["DEACTIVATE", unit2, <object>]

unit1 will play action animation, unit2 gets the satchel charge in their inventory. <object> = a live satchel charge.

Strange fire effects seem to occur, eg pistol smoke fires from the rpg proxy (straight up?), rpg is readied but not fired, pistol fires from rifle proxy (rifle in hand). Different fire modes for rifle use different index. hand grenades seem to work perfectly. Weapon index seems to be related to order in which weapons are given to unit, 0-8 being the throw and put muzzles?? unit2 action ["useWeapon",truck,driver truck,0] makes a truck fire its horn.
