Space of ruck/vest/uniform

[fett_li 15]

I was interested in a way to get detailed information about the specific ammount of "room" vests, rucks and uniform have.

So I searched. And found!

idk whether someones interested in but I guess some will be :)

So here is my scripts which returns the "room" value for ruck, vest or uniform:

/*
Author: [W] Fett_Li

Description:
	This script returns the space a vest/uniform/backpack has.

Parameter(s):
	_this select 0: 
	STRING - objectname of the vest/uniform/backpack

Returns:
	NUMBER - space of the vest/uniform/backpack
*/

_item = _this select 0;

_cargo = 0;
_array = [];

if (isClass (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _item)) then {
_cargo = getNumber (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> _item >> "maximumLoad");
} else {
_array = toArray getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _item >> "iteminfo" >> "containerClass");
for "_i" from 6 to (count _array -1) do {
	_cargo=_cargo+10^(count _array - 1 - _i)*((_array select _i)-48)
};
};
_cargo

And now you need - of course - a script which returns the "room" an item takes. So here it is:

/*
Author: Fett_Li

Description:
	This script returns the "room" an item/weapon takes.

Parameter(s):
	_this select 0:
	STRING - item

Returns:
	NUMBER - mass of the item
*/

_item = _this select 0;
_mass = 0;

if (isClass (configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _item)) then {
if (isClass (configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _item >> "weaponSlotsInfo")) then {
	_mass = getNumber (configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _item >> "weaponSlotsInfo" >> "mass");
} else {
	_mass = getNumber (configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _item >> "itemInfo" >> "mass")
};
} else {
if (isClass (configfile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _item)) then {
	_mass = getNumber (configfile >> "CfgMagazines" >> _item >> "mass");
} else {
	_mass = getNumber (configfile >> "CfgVehicles" >> _item >> "mass");
};
};
_mass

Have fun with theese scripts :)

Maybe some talented modder for ArmA 3 could show me how to implement a mod showing how much room an items takes via mouseover or something like that. As we know it from ACE in ArmA 2... I think that would be very cool...

Good job, I always wondered where the mass value came from.

Too bad not every item/vehicle has a mass value.

Interesting script.

I found a way to gather the mass of rifles, too. But it works only for ArmA 3 vanilla weapons. There were no correct return values for modded weapons...

The first script is updated.

[fett_li 15]

I updated my functions!

How about skipping that _cargo=_cargo+10^(count _array - 1 - _i)*((_array select _i)-48) voodoo and use cfg files for everything?

Like:

_supplyClass = getText (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _item >> "iteminfo" >> "containerClass");
       _cargo = getNumber (configFile >> "cfgVehicles" >> _supplyClass >> "maximumLoad");

Other than that, nice job.

getText would throw out something like "Supply100". But I just want the 100 and the script throws out the number after "supply". With this you can use this script better in other scripts because a - of course - understands, what is meant with "Supply100", but a script or computer can handle a number more easily.

Okay, but there is a separate class for each "Supply##", where you can get the maximumload from, without tinkering with strings. Which are only names, and not the actual maximumload data.
