# actionParams

*Command · Interaction · Arma 3 v1.64*

## Description

Returns [Array](../topics/Array.md) with params for given user action id (similar to [addAction](../commands/addAction.md) param array).

## Syntax

```sqf
entity actionParams id
```

**Parameters:**

- `entity`: [Object](../topics/Object.md) - entity with added user actions
- `id`: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - id of existing user action (returned by [addAction](../commands/addAction.md) or [actionIDs](../commands/actionIDs.md))

**Returns:** [Array](../topics/Array.md) with [title, script, arguments, priority, showWindow, hideOnUse, shortcut, condition, radius, unconscious, textWindowBackground, textWindowForeground, selection, memoryPoint]
- title: [String](../topics/String.md) - action title text
- script: [String](../topics/String.md) - script file or script expression assigned to the action
- arguments: [Anything](../topics/Anything.md) or [nil](../commands/nil.md) - arguments passed to the action
- priority: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - action priority on the action menu
- showWindow: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - whether the action is shown in the center of the screen too
- hideOnUse: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - whether the action menu should close after selecting the action
- shortcut: [String](../topics/String.md) - action bindings to some existing engine action if any
- condition: [String](../topics/String.md) - expression returning [true](../commands/true.md) or [nil](../commands/nil.md) for action to appear on the action menu
- radius: [Number](../topics/Number.md) - max distance to entity at which action becomes available. -1 means it is engine default (~15m)
- unconscious: [Boolean](../topics/Boolean.md) - whether the action is available to [unconscious](../commands/setUnconscious.md) person
- textWindowBackground: [String](../topics/String.md) - same as textWindowBackground in [setUserActionText](../commands/setUserActionText.md)
- textWindowForeground: [String](../topics/String.md) - same as textWindowForeground in [setUserActionText](../commands/setUserActionText.md)
- selection: [String](../topics/String.md) - named selection in Geometry LOD to which the action is attached
- memoryPoint: [String](../topics/String.md) - memory point on the object to which the action is attached
If *entity* is [objNull](../commands/objNull.md), the following array is returned:

```sqf
["", "", nil, 1.5, true, true, "", "", 50, false, "", "", "", ""]
```

(returned [Nothing](../topics/Nothing.md) until Arma 3 v1.94)
