Detect Access To Weapons Crate

[Ghost 40]

I know how to fill a weapons crate and I know how to keep it filled but I want to do it in a different way. I am wanting to know how to detect when someone access the gear on a specified weapons crate so that a script can launch and fill it. This way no need to have a script looping to keep the crate full and you can have small numbers of weapons to get the most weapons possible into a weapons crate.

At mission start declare two variables with load of your ammobox with commands:

myWeapons = getWeaponCargo box1;

myMagazines = getMagazineCargo box1;

To check if cargo has changed during mission compare your loadout in condition row of a trigger: isServer AND ((myWeapons != getWeaponCargo box1) OR (myMagazines != getMagazineCargo box1))

In activation row put your command/script to reload the box1.

Thanks for the reply. So basically I still have to have a loop script to check if the weapon list has changed. Similar to what I have now but could be a useful check still. I was hoping for an eventhandler type setup that detects play at gear. Guess my best bet would be to figure out a proper weapon script dialog for my needs.

Think the best you could do is to check people's animation-state when within a certain radius of the box (if you want to be able to do your thing even without the ammo box contents changing), but even that requires a passive script to 'watch'.

Does anyone know what scripts are launched or how the addaction for the gear action is setup on ammo boxes? If I knew that I am sure I could figure something out.

Anyway you look at it you need a script running to check animation or weapons in crate wich is best way like Buliwyf explained.

Do this for every crate you want to monitor:

place at end of the fill part of your script:

myWeapons = getWeaponCargo nameOfBox;
myMagazines = getMagazineCargo nameOfBox;

WaitUntil {sleep 1; myWeapons  != getWeaponCargo nameOfBox OR myMagazines != getMagazineCargo nameOfBox};
// run the fill box script again here.
[whatever] execVM "whatever_Script.sqf";
//end

Thank you all for the replies. I will have to tinker with the system. Was hoping to find a way to bypass the limited box quantities.
