Post subject:  Using AddObjectivePoint on an actor (SOLVED)
So we've all seen those flashing objective arrows in missions - I've tracked down their creation to AddObjectivePoint with a few variables. I want to attach that to an actor that you can just hire whenever, rather than in specific activities. When I try it gives me "attempt to call method 'AddObjectivePoint' (a nil value)' - is that a thing that can be done?

Here you go, this'll work for anything in activity (I think).
Code:
local act = ActivityMan:GetActivity()
ToGameActivity(act):AddObjectivePoint("text", Position, Team, GameActivity.ARROWDOWN);

This can also be streamlined to one line as follows:
Code:
ToGameActivity(ActivityMan:GetActivity()):AddObjectivePoint("text", Position, Team, GameActivity.ARROWDOWN);

ARROWDOWN can also be ARROWUP and maybe a few others, sadly all the activity stuff is woefully documented.

Okay, it works perfectly except that I just noticed once you kill the target that caused it to appear, the message does not disappear. How do you clear that message afterwards?

ToGameActivity(ActivityMan:GetActivity()):ClearObjectivePoints()
I think there might be a team argument in there though I don't remember at the moment. It works fine without one though.
