conditionShow: String - (Optional, default "true") condition for the action to be shown.
Special arguments passed to the code: _target (action-attached object), _this (caller/executing unit)

conditionProgress: String - (Optional, default "true") condition for the action to progress; if false is returned action progress is paused.
Special arguments passed to the code: _target, _caller, _id, _arguments

codeStart: Code - (Optional, default {}) code executed when action starts. Passed arguments are:

params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"];

• target: Object - the object which the action is assigned to
• caller: Object - the unit that activated the action
• actionId: Number - ID of the activated action (same as ID returned by addAction)
• arguments: Array - arguments given to the function
• progress: Number - currentProgress; progress goes from 1 to 24

params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"]; // same as codeStart

codeInterrupted: Code - (Optional, default {}) code executed on interrupted. Passed arguments are:

params ["_target", "_caller", "_actionId", "_arguments"]; // same as codeCompleted

arguments: Array - (Optional, default []) arguments passed to codeStart, codeProgress, codeCompleted and codeInterrupted (max 10) in format:

params ["_a0","_a1","_a2","_a3","_a4","_a5","_a6","_a7","_a8","_a9","_target","_title","_iconIdle","_iconProgress","_condShow","_condProgress","_codeStart","_codeProgress","_codeCompleted","_codeInterrupted","_duration","_removeCompleted"];

where _a0 - _a9 can be custom arguments

duration: Number - (Optional, default 10) action duration, i.e. how much time it takes to complete the action

priority: Number - (Optional, default 1000) priority value; actions are arranged in descending order according to this value

Example 2:

// adds the action to every client and JIP, but also adds it when it was already removed. E.g., Laptop has already been hacked by a player [ _myLaptop, // Object the action is attached to "Hack Laptop", // Title of the action "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa", // Idle icon shown on screen "\a3\ui_f\data\IGUI\Cfg\holdactions\holdAction_connect_ca.paa", // Progress icon shown on screen "_this distance _target < 3", // Condition for the action to be shown "_caller distance _target < 3", // Condition for the action to progress {}, // Code executed when action starts {}, // Code executed on every progress tick { _this call MY_fnc_hackingCompleted }, // Code executed on completion {}, // Code executed on interrupted [], // Arguments passed to the scripts as _this select 3 12, // Action duration in seconds 0, // Priority true, // Remove on completion false // Show in unconscious state ] remoteExec ["BIS_fnc_holdActionAdd", 0, _myLaptop]; // MP compatible implementation
