adding addAction if player has item (bribe function)

[Frosties]

I have an addAction where the player can bribe a local to get information..
But i would like that option to be availible only to those who have $$ in their pockets.


How can i write the code so that once the player only get the "bribe" option once he has some cash in his pocket?

Have tried another script i has, but that gives the option to bribe everywhere, not just when standing face to face to the correct civilian.

name the civilian, here he is civilianName, you can also replace == civilianName with in [civ1,civ2,civ3] etc to have it work on multiples.

_id = this addAction ["Bribe", "script.sqf", [], 1, false, true, "", "_target == _this AND cursorTarget == civilianName"];

How does that script check if the player has the money or not?

Ive tried it but i cant get the Bribe option to appear at all, with or without money.

This only allows you to bribe if you have money (the money "item" (actually a weapon) with classname EvMoney) and person has not been bribed before:

this addAction ["Bribe", "bribe.sqf", [], 1, false, true, "", " ""EvMoney"" in (weapons _this) && not (_target getVariable [""bribed"", false])"]; 

If you want to prevent anyone from bribing this guy again then in bribe.sqf or whatever you call your file that get's run you should set the "bribed" to true. This also frees you from having to deal with removing the actions over MP which can be tricky if you have not done it before:

//bribe.sqf
_target = _this select 0;
_caller = _this select 1;

//He cannot be bribed again - you probably want to remove the money from _caller too.
_target setVariable ["bribed", true, true]; 

EvMoney
