Ammo crate filled with MOD special weapons/ammo

[Kommiekat 11]

Hello, I'm trying to get some ammo/weapons crates filled with goodies that are used in special MODS like:

VME_PLA_CHINESE

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14099&highlight=CHINESE

...for a SP mission I hope to upload here some time soon.

Later I want to work with:

JSDF_Japanese MOD

http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=14301

These mod developers are re-texturing/meshing what seems to be pre-BLUFOR/OPFOR weapons and ammo and building on those, though not sure 100%.

I don't know how to get those weapons and ammo into crates.

Somebody please help me.

The best way is to download the mods and see for yourself what I mean.

Hey kat... ;) I was digging around and found the class names for the PLA Mod ;)

I post this here because some people may find it useful too.

I'm not sure if the list is complete though :confused:

Place a crate and put this into its init line:

nul = [this] execVM "Crate.sqf";

Crate.sqf

// VME PLA Crate by BTK
// Maybe incomplete

_Crate = _this select 0;

clearWeaponCargo _Crate;
clearMagazineCargo _Crate;

_WeaponsAmount = 2;
_MagazinesAmount = 20;

_Weapons = [
"VME_PLA_QBZ95",
"VME_PLA_QBZ95B",
"VME_PLA_QBZ95CQB",
"VME_PLA_QBZ95SSN",
"VME_PLA_QBW95CQB",
"VME_PLA_QCZ85",
"VME_PLA_QCW85",
"VME_PLA_QBB95",
"VME_PLA_QJY88",
"VME_PLA_QJY88SSN",
"VME_PLA_KBU88",
"VME_PLA_LR1",
"VME_PLA_js58",
"VME_PLA_js58W",
"VME_PLA_PF69",
"VME_PLA_PF69A",
"VME_PLA_Fn6",
"VME_PLA_QSZ92",
"VME_PLA_QSW06"
];

_Magazines = [
"VME_PLA_30Rnd_58x42_QBZ95",
"VME_PLA_30Rnd_762x25_QCZ85",
"VME_PLA_75Rnd_58x42_QBB95",
"VME_PLA_200Rnd_58x42_QJY88",
"VME_PLA_10Rnd_58x42_KBU88",
"VME_PLA_5Rnd_127x90_LR1",
"VME_PLA_5Rnd_127x90_LR1AT",
"VME_PLA_20Rnd_58x21_Qsz92",
"VME_PLA_69III",
"VME_PLA_69HE",
"VME_PLA_69IIIA",
"VME_PLA_69HEA"
];

{ _Crate addWeaponCargo [_x, _WeaponsAmount]; } forEach _Weapons;
{ _Crate addMagazineCargo [_x, _MagazinesAmount]; } forEach _Magazines;

Thanks SX for looking into that!

I'll test that out asap and get back to you on it.

Edit: Worked like a Charm!

Exactly what I needed. Thanks for your help.

Twirly! Dude! You have my heartfull thanks.

I'll let you in on a little secret:

As soon as I finish my very first mission and get it uploaded, my next mission will be North Korea and Japan, with NK invading the Northern Islands....

These guys have been fighting each other for centuries.

[Kommiekat 11]

Hi guys,

Well, I'm embarssed to ask but...I need satchels and smoke to that crate.

I tried:

_crate addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 5];
_crate addMagazineCargo ["SmokeShell", 16];

but as you can see...it doesn't work...I don't know exactly why.

I think the ...._crate....maybe needs to be changed to ....._this.....

but that didn't work either.

Oh, I placed it down here:

_Magazines = [
"VME_PLA_30Rnd_58x42_QBZ95",
"VME_PLA_30Rnd_762x25_QCZ85",
"VME_PLA_75Rnd_58x42_QBB95",
"VME_PLA_200Rnd_58x42_QJY88",
"VME_PLA_10Rnd_58x42_KBU88",
"VME_PLA_5Rnd_127x90_LR1",
"VME_PLA_5Rnd_127x90_LR1AT",
"VME_PLA_20Rnd_58x21_Qsz92",
"VME_PLA_69III",
"VME_PLA_69HE",
"VME_PLA_69IIIA",
"VME_PLA_69HEA"
_crate addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 5];
_crate addMagazineCargo ["SmokeShell", 16];
]; 

I know, it looks silly..:confused:

I don't know what I'm talking about:eek:

[loyalguard 15]

You are close. You added a line of code to the array of magazine class names. If you want to let the script do its normal thing then just add the class name, not the whole line.

e.g

_Magazines = [
"VME_PLA_30Rnd_58x42_QBZ95",
"VME_PLA_30Rnd_762x25_QCZ85",
"VME_PLA_75Rnd_58x42_QBB95",
"VME_PLA_200Rnd_58x42_QJY88",
"VME_PLA_10Rnd_58x42_KBU88",
"VME_PLA_5Rnd_127x90_LR1",
"VME_PLA_5Rnd_127x90_LR1AT",
"VME_PLA_20Rnd_58x21_Qsz92",
"VME_PLA_69III",
"VME_PLA_69HE",
"VME_PLA_69IIIA",
"VME_PLA_69HEA",
PipeBomb",
SmokeShell"
];

BUT...per the script, that will add 20 of each to the crate (_MagazinesAmount = 20), and I assume you do not want to do that.

So, just add this code to the bottom of the script (do not alter the arrays or any other part of the script):

_Crate addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 5];
_Crate addMagazineCargo ["SmokeShell", 16];

Thank you for your help.

Question:

I wrote

_crate addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 5];
_crate addMagazineCargo ["SmokeShell", 16];

You wrote

_Crate addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 5];
_Crate addMagazineCargo ["SmokeShell", 16];

Do capital letters make a difference?

Or is it that I have it in the wrong place? Do you mean "bottom of the script" as in the very bottom?

];

[color="Red"]_Crate addMagazineCargo ["PipeBomb", 5];
_Crate addMagazineCargo ["SmokeShell", 16];[/color]

{ _Crate addWeaponCargo [_x, _WeaponsAmount]; } forEach _Weapons;
{ _Crate addMagazineCargo [_x, _MagazinesAmount]; } forEach _Magazines;

Again, I'm looking silly.:(

[loyalguard 15]

it should not be the capital vs lowercase, I believe (not tested) that variables are not case sensitive (at least in some circumstances). The important thing is to stay consistent.

The problem was that you put it in the wrong place. Where you have placed it now should be fine. You can put those two lines of code anywhere EXCEPT before the clear... commands, inside the arrays, or inside the forEach blocks.

[Kommiekat 11]

BINGO!

That did it. I love each and everyone of you guys, seriously.:p
