    [MY_OBJECT, "Pickup Item", "Holy shit, my item was picked up", "Intel", "This is a briefing entry.", true] call MFUNC(collectIntel);
};

The parameters are:

• 0: Object name (The object you want to "pick up")
• 1: ACE Interact text (Text that appears on ACE Interact)
• 2: Hint message (Text that appears as a hint)
• 3: Diary/briefing entry tab name (Intel is default, leave it as is.)
• 4: Description/text the intel contains (The entry that will show in the briefing)
