Carrying Over Command Position From One Script Activation To Another

[The Loot]

Basically, I'm trying to add a delay when I use a modified LA Call Vehicle Command, so that there's a wait period during the radio audio, and a vehicle behind chosen and taking actions itself.

Vector CmdPos = Game::GetCommandPos(); is outside of Child sections at the top of the script.

Under ChildID 0, I have tried both of these commands: 

Caller->PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, "PcmdCallALSAmb", CmdPos, 1, false); - It throws this error log:

Caller->PushActionExecuteCommand(ACTION_APPEND, "PcmdCallALSAmb", CmdPos.Target, 1, false); - Saw something like that in the Move command, but it throws this much smaller error log:

ChildID 1 contains the actual bulk of the script.

Is this even possible?

CmdPos is not considered a valid target in Em4. You need to use an actual gameObject as the target so that the script doesnt crap out.

Look at Jackson County @The Loot it has a few scripts that do that.

I suppose it's the method that complicates using a vector in this case, but I've seen them used in seemingly similar ways elsewhere.

That mod seems to have some gameplay elements I've gone for myself, so I'll probably check it out in general now.

ok

[itchboy]

The way I would do it is create a gameObject as the target. This gO must be positioned at the point where the user clicks, so using the "GetCommandPos" line works.

From there you have a permanent (or temporary, your choice) variable that you can extract a user set position from.

Alright, finally got it working.

The caller creates a copy of themselves at the command position, it gets hidden (normal method caused an issue with getting a final vector, changing model to an invisible one works), find it with another caller command, make it execute the final command at its position, and then delete itself. I was going to just use an empty object prototype, but the prototype of the caller is essential to the functioning of the scripts.
