Actions List – Operation Flashpoint

Introduction

Actions are normally initiated by the player using the action menu. The script command action allows actions to be performed by any unit. For example, the command "player action ["WEAPONONBACK"]" has the same effect as choosing "M16 on back" in the menu. New actions can be defined using addAction.

Syntax

Syntax: unit action ["actionname"], where

• unit = Object: pointer to the unit that should perform this action
• actionname = String: name of action to be performed

Capitalization for the commands doesn't matter (i.e. player action ["DROP WEAPON",box,1,1,"AK74"] is the same as player action ["drop weapon",box,1,1,"ak74"])
