Dead Body WeaponHolder

[iceman77 18]

Dead bodies create weaponHolders (:confused:). However, when I use:

waitUntil {!alive man1};
_weaponHolders = nearestObjects [player, ["weaponHolder","groundWeaponHolder"],50];
hint format ["%1 : %2", count _weaponHolders, _weaponHolders];

It returns 0 and an empty array after I kill the unit.

I simply want to make an unarmed unit take a weapon from the nearest body and I figured this was the best place to start, as I can't simply use takeWeapon on a dead body any longer. As the primaryWeapon for a dead body in A3 for example, is an empty string and not the weapon the unit had before he died.

More types of weapon holder than that in A3? Maybe dead bodies uses one of the others? Will try and test that when I get time - busy at moment.

_holders = nearestObjects [getPos player, ["WeaponHolderSimulated", "GroundWeaponHolder", "Default"], _radius];

Thanks guys. What exactly is default for?

I don't remember anymore. I just remember having spent hours on this line alone and this is what I came up with. So I trust myself that it has to be in there. :D

Edit: Or it is just a misfired ctrl-V. :) dead soliders seem to all keep their weapons in weaponholderSimulated.

Other than that WeaponholderSimulated is handled by phisics engine, whereas GroundWeaponHolder is not.

When i delete the dead body, the weapon dissapears. Any way to avoid that?
