Description

Description:

Sets given event handler of in-game UI. If EH function returns true, performed action is overridden. Event handlers available are:

• "PrevAction" - mouse scroll up
• "Action" - action key press
• "NextAction" - mouse scroll down

This is "set" type EH, which means it will replace previously set EH of the same type. So to remove EH, set another one with empty string "" for the function.

Since Arma 3 v1.49.131743 this EH returns array of params for selected/activated action in _this variable:

• 0: Object - target object to which action is attached
• 1: Object - caller object, basically player
• 2: Number - index of the action in action menu (0 - top most)
• 3: String - engine based action name ("User" for user added actions)
• 4: String - localized action plain text as seen by the caller
• 5: Number - action priority value
• 6: Boolean - action showWindow value
• 7: Boolean - action hideOnUse value
• 8: String - action shortcut name or ""
• 9: Boolean - action menu visibility (on first scroll or action press the menu is still invisible, so no action is performed, only menu is shown)
• 10 String - EH event name
