How to get cargo capacity and cost/weight of stuff into sqf?

Many questions in short time appeared in my head...

Somehow I've never used getNumber command and such till today. Now I have a reason, but haven't sufficient knowledge about syntax. I need to store in ordinary, local script variables, both, capacity of any vehicle with cargo space, and "capacity cost" of any weapon/magazine/item (space for weapon and magazines are separated, or this is same pool? What with other items?) to know, if there is enough space in a trunk for given stuff. What sqf code will do this for me? BIKI's example for getNumber is not quite sufficient for me. I suppose, that needed code will be similar:

_value = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> "Thing" >> "maxSpeed")

But what should be inputed instead of "Thing"? Variable refering to vehicle object will be sufficient (_vehicle)? What names have relevant entries (what instead of "maxSpeed" to get capacity and cost)? Also what insted of "CfgVehicles" (if not same) for retrieving cost of weapons/magazines/items? And how can I in the future posses such info about paths for other certain entries, if needed?

Don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for but anyway:

Kylania has made available a PDF listing the cargo capacities of most, maybe all A2 & CO vehicles, plus a neat little demo for using the BIS config viewer function:

http://www.kylania.com/ex/

To get the number of seats for squaddies, use

getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _veh >> "transportSoldier")

Handy pdf, indeed. But to use it its content must be transformed into huge array with all classes and numbers and then code can look for type of tested vehicle in this array to check bounded with given type number... Possible, but impractical.

Although, I see, one question is answered: _veh is sufficient as "Thing". Thanks. Oh. And this config viewer may be very helpful too.

I cannot find these values in the configs either, surely they must be somewhere?

There is no "getAmmoCargoSpace" or "getWeaponCargoSpace" command in the Command reference...

Hi mate

For troops in APCs, search for "transportSoldier"

Under that listing in the config there will usually be a list for class "TransportMagazines".

Here's a default listing for a BMP2 (IIRC this would have been from 1.56 or so)

transportSoldier = 7;
   class TransportMagazines
   {
     class _xx_30Rnd_545x39_AK
     {
       magazine = "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
       count = "30*1";
     };
     class _xx_100Rnd_762x54_PK
     {
       magazine = "100Rnd_762x54_PK";
       count = "5*1";
     };
     class _xx_8Rnd_9x18_Makarov
     {
       magazine = "8Rnd_9x18_Makarov";
       count = "20*1";
     };
     class _xx_HandGrenade
     {
       magazine = "HandGrenade";
       count = "10*1";
     };
     class _xx_10Rnd_762x54_SVD
     {
       magazine = "10Rnd_762x54_SVD";
       count = "10*1";
     };
     class _xx_PG7VR
     {
       magazine = "PG7VR";
       count = "3*1";
     };
     class _xx_1Rnd_HE_GP25
     {
       magazine = "1Rnd_HE_GP25";
       count = "3*1";
     };
   };
   transportAmmo = 0;

You can get formatted config listings from Dev Heaven - you need to register but that is painless and saves a lot of time wading through the stock PBOs with a config viewer (though that would still be useful for new units - e.g., ACR - or mod units.

i'm working on this atm so thought i'd update this post - see this

http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?104700-retrieve-vehicle-s-cargo-capacity

its maxmags and maxweps you need

e.g.

_veh = TypeOf (vehicle player); //for example

_maxpeople = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _veh >> "transportSoldier");

_maxguns = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _veh >> "transportMaxWeapons");

_maxmags = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _veh >> "transportMaxMagazines");

_maxpacks = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _veh >> "transportMaxBackpacks");

and here's a little script that adds items to all vehicles at start of game
