Any item to work as a ammobox

[TAW_Yonose 11]

So im making a mission where i have a battalion starts as parajumping, i also want it to look like the ammoboxes is also coming from the parajump this item is the one i use (this isent a ammobox) Land_PaperBox_open_full_F,

- Is it possible to get this item to work as an ammobox?

- Is it possible to add a parachute to it, like the parachute is actually on the item?

Thank you.

Hi TAW_Yonose,

maybe this script snippet from Killzone_Kid gives you an idea how to implement that: http://killzonekid.com/arma-scripting-tutorials-inventory-items-and-tents/

I am pretty sure if the item has a cargo you can fill it the same....

Thanks for the answers Na_Palm and Fusion13,

Na_Palm

thanks for the tip but i dident get it working probably because of my lack of skills in codes/scripts.

I tried with

(player action ["Gear", _ammobox]

and

(player action ["Gear", _ammobox];

but with no luck.

thanks for the reply, the item im using is a open box with loads of ammoboxes inside, this isent a realy ammobox so i need to make the functions to a ammobox to the item.

You could use an action menu to open an hidden cargo...

[tonic-_- 53]

_emptyBox = "Land_PaperBox_open_empty_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
_weaponCrate = "Box_NATO_Wps_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
_weaponCrate attachTo[_emptyBox,[-0.2,0.3,0.38]];

Then put the _emptyBox at the position you need it at or w/e

Or place an emptybox down and put in the init:

_weaponCrate = "Box_NATO_Wps_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
_weaponCrate attachTo[this,[-0.2,0.3,0.38]];

have you tried:

Addaction in Box initialisation in editor

 this addaction ["Inventory","BoxContent.sqf"];

BoxContent.sqf

private["_target"];
_target= _this select 0;
0=[_target] spawn {
   disableSerialization;
   CreateGearDialog [_this select 0,"RscDisplayInventory"];
};

Two things: I found it needs to spawn, and it needs to have the disableserialization or it crashes the game.

At this stage this only shows the players gear dialog, but i thought it was a good start.

Then its a matter of having items on the left side you can pick up. I have not managed this yet.

I have tried spawning in an ammo crate and getting the contents of this to show up but it hasn't worked.

Or use Tonics method

Another way which I helped Yonose with in Teamspeak, place this in the initialization field of the box:

if(isNil "fn_boxInventory") then {
fn_boxInventory =
{
	waitUntil {!isNil "boxWeaponHolder"};
	_this addAction["Inventory",{player action["Gear",boxWeaponHolder];},"",0,false,false,"",' _this distance _target < 3.5 '];
};

if(isServer) then {
	boxWeaponHolder = "Box_NATO_Wps_F" createVehicle [0,0,0];
	boxWeaponHolder allowDamage false;
	clearWeaponCargoGlobal boxWeaponHolder;
	clearMagazineCargoGlobal boxWeaponHolder;
	clearItemCargoGlobal boxWeaponHolder;
	publicVariable "boxWeaponHolder";
	[this,"fn_boxInventory",nil,true] spawn BIS_fnc_MP;
};
};

Doing stuff from the editors init field for stuff isn't my preferred way or recommended way but yeah.
