adding an action in the SDK

Wingsday · Apr 17, 2015

So this is pretty much my first experience with actual code, previosly I have messed with text files from M&B:warband and derped around with R for work. Keep that in mind please.

I'm watching a video Tutorial and I followed the directions exactly but it won't let me actually add an action.

Halp please.

Sorry of the super newb issues...

Never had this happen before.

Do you have the latest version of the SDK, according to Steam?

I assume so, I just downloaded it a few days ago.

Update: I'm not really sure what happened, but I was messing with it and all of a sudden it just worked. I know I was typing in the file name correctly the first time, I checked like 30 times.

Such confuse...

It is very easy to mistype a file name or a path/filename sequence. I always use the drop-down of valid file names instead of typing in the file name.

[edit]zooming in on your linked image, though, I don't see where you made a typo mistake, so I'm just as confused as to why as you are.

Basically you can longer type a file name in, you must select it from the drop-down (although the field permits typing, the UI doesn't detect the keystrokes and enable the OK button as required)

(The ability to type into that field is a throw back to the bad-old-days when you HAD to type the file name in, as there was no drop-down list)

aha ! I can't be sure now but I don't think I ever typed in a name in the Actions tab, which is probably why I never encountered this issue.

Something more to add to that common mistakes thing.
