Executing a SQF if carrying certain equipment

[frosties 10]

Hello,

Would it be possible to have a code in INIT.sqf that ran if a player picks up a certain item?

such as a backpack or something?

Something like

[{typeOf (unitBackpack player) == "ITEM"}] execVM execVM "SCRIPT TO BE RUN";

Been sitting here looking and putting something together with no luck...

You have to create a trigger or use the commands while or WaitUntil.

im asuming you dont have to much scripting knowledge, so the easiest for you would be to use a trigger.

trigger condition:

(typeOf (unitBackpack player)) == "desired_backpack_classname"

on act:

_null = [] execVM "scriptname.sqf";

or if you just need a weapon instead of backpack, use this as condition:

"weapon_or_item_classname" in (weapons player)

NOTE: maps, documents etc in the item section of gear menu is also in weapons list.

player can also be unitname if such control is needed.
