  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?

Re: Using AddObjectivePoint on an actor 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.

Re: Using AddObjectivePoint on an actor (SOLVED) 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?

Re: Using AddObjectivePoint on an actor (SOLVED) 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. |
