Description:

This is a radial wheel-style action menu for hand signals and custom actions, inspired by the SOG Prairie Fire DLC gesture wheel. It comes preconfigured out of the box with far more functionality than the DLC gesture wheel offers, and can be customized in 100 different ways by simply using the module in the Eden Editor. The goal was to help anyone with little or no scripting experience seamlessly create a radial-style menu in nearly any configuration you can think of!

Please check out the included README.md after you download the mod. It will include all the additional information you need to set up and use the mod, such as icon paths, hand signal / custom action script examples, and more.


  • Radial Wheel Interface
    The default keybind to open the menu is tilde (~) (adjustable in CBA settings), select with the mouse or number keys, and move freely while the menu is open. The opening keybind, ESC, and RMB all close the menu.
  • Hand Signals
    Signal your squad with animations and on-screen notifications. Signals are group-restricted, and only your teammates see the text, but anyone nearby can see the animation.
  • Custom Actions & Sounds
    Mission makers can add any SQF action, sound effect, or script to the menu.
  • Submenus
    Organize your actions into nested categories up to 3 levels deep, with 10 options per menu.
  • Direct-Action Keybinds
    Bind any menu action to a hotkey so you can trigger it without opening the wheel. It’s recommended that you have a Stream Deck to try this method if you want LOTS of options!
  • Fully Configurable
    CBA settings for keybinds, menu scale, colors, opacity, signal range, notification duration, and more.
  • Visual Editor
    Mission makers can easily build and edit menus through a tree editor in Eden. No scripting required except for basic button configuration.
  • Import/Export
    Copy menu configs between missions or your friends with a single copy / paste.
  • Multiplayer Ready
    Full JIP support, it syncs automatically to all players.
  • Bundled Icon Set
    30+ tactical icons included (signals, formations, compass directions, and more).


RECOMMENDATIONS

It’s highly recommended to use the SOG Prairie Fire DLC, Commonwealth Hand Signals, Hey You, and TSP Animate if you want to have access to additional sounds and animations for the menu.

COMPATABILITY
  • If using ACRE2, rebind "Talk through Zeus" off tilde to avoid a keybind conflict. It is a known bug that when this ACRE 2 keybind and the Action Menu both share the tilde (~) key, opening the menu while talking on ACRE 2 will cut your voice off.

FOR MISSION MAKERS
  1. Place the Action Menu Configuration module anywhere in the Eden Editor.
  2. Double-click the module and click "Open Visual Editor".
  3. Use the tree view to add hand signals, actions, and submenus.
  4. FIND OUT MORE BY CHECKING OUT THE README!

TO DO

Integrate Sounds:
I want to eventually create my own sounds or get permission to pack the sounds from other mods for more out-of-the-box functionality, like the Mag Tap and Whistle sounds.

Requests:
Requests for icons and such are welcome, but I cannot guarantee when / if they will be completed.

BUG REPORTING

Just shoot me a DM / friend request on Discord and I’ll be happy to fix any bugs that you can find. Try to be as detailed as possible of course to make the process easier.
