Virtual Arsenal exported script doesn't work

[TheConen 78]

Hey guys,

I got the following problem: I created a loadout in Virtual Arsenal, exported it in Virtual Arsenal, placed it into a .sqf and loaded this .sqf in the init of my unit in the editor... but it doesn't work, I still get the standard loadouts.

My exported script looks like this:

comment "Exported from Arsenal by TheConen";

comment "Remove existing items";
removeAllWeapons this;
removeAllItems this;
removeAllAssignedItems this;
removeUniform this;
removeVest this;
removeBackpack this;
removeHeadgear this;
removeGoggles this;

comment "Add containers";
this forceAddUniform "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam";
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {this addItemToUniform "9Rnd_45ACP_Mag";};
this addItemToUniform "HandGrenade";
this addItemToUniform "SmokeShell";
this addItemToUniform "SmokeShellRed";
for "_i" from 1 to 3 do {this addItemToUniform "Chemlight_red";};
this addVest "V_TacVest_camo";
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {this addItemToVest "FirstAidKit";};
this addItemToVest "AGM_EarBuds";
for "_i" from 1 to 4 do {this addItemToVest "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag";};
for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {this addItemToVest "1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell";};
for "_i" from 1 to 3 do {this addItemToVest "UGL_FlareRed_F";};
this addBackpack "B_Parachute";
this addHeadgear "H_HelmetB_plain_mcamo";
this addGoggles "G_Combat";

comment "Add weapons";
this addWeapon "arifle_MX_GL_Black_F";
this addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_pointer_IR";
this addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_Hamr";
this addWeapon "hgun_ACPC2_F";

comment "Add items";
this linkItem "ItemMap";
this linkItem "ItemCompass";
this linkItem "ItemWatch";
this linkItem "tf_anprc152_2";
this linkItem "NVGoggles_INDEP";
this linkItem "Binocular";

comment "Set identity";
this setFace "WhiteHead_19";
this setSpeaker "Male01ENG";

The init of my unit looks like this:

 null = [this] execVM "loadouts\nato_grenadier.sqf";   this addeventhandler ["respawn","_this execVM 'loadouts\nato_grenadier.sqf'"]; this moveincargo c3;   _null = [this] execVM "trackerlaser.sqf";

Any idea why this is?

Ok, found the problem.... the exported script from Arsenal only seems to work if directly copied into the unit's init...

To make it work in a script, you have to declare a variable which equals "_this select 0;" and replace every "this" occurrence with this variable.

The working script for the above code looks like this:

comment "Exported from Arsenal by TheConen";

private ["_unit"];
_unit = _this select 0;
IF(!local _unit) exitwith {};

comment "Remove existing items";
removeAllWeapons _unit;
removeAllItems _unit;
removeAllAssignedItems _unit;
removeUniform _unit;
removeVest _unit;
removeBackpack _unit;
removeHeadgear _unit;
removeGoggles _unit;

comment "Add containers";
_unit forceAddUniform "U_B_CombatUniform_mcam";
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToUniform "9Rnd_45ACP_Mag";};
_unit addItemToUniform "HandGrenade";
_unit addItemToUniform "SmokeShell";
_unit addItemToUniform "SmokeShellRed";
for "_i" from 1 to 3 do {_unit addItemToUniform "Chemlight_red";};
_unit addVest "V_TacVest_camo";
for "_i" from 1 to 2 do {_unit addItemToVest "FirstAidKit";};
_unit addItemToVest "AGM_EarBuds";
for "_i" from 1 to 4 do {_unit addItemToVest "30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag";};
for "_i" from 1 to 5 do {_unit addItemToVest "1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell";};
for "_i" from 1 to 3 do {_unit addItemToVest "UGL_FlareRed_F";};
_unit addBackpack "B_Parachute";
_unit addHeadgear "H_HelmetB_plain_mcamo";
_unit addGoggles "G_Combat";

comment "Add weapons";
_unit addWeapon "arifle_MX_GL_Black_F";
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "acc_pointer_IR";
_unit addPrimaryWeaponItem "optic_Hamr";
_unit addWeapon "hgun_ACPC2_F";

comment "Add items";
_unit linkItem "ItemMap";
_unit linkItem "ItemCompass";
_unit linkItem "ItemWatch";
_unit linkItem "tf_anprc152_2";
_unit linkItem "NVGoggles_INDEP";
_unit linkItem "Binocular";

comment "Set identity";
_unit setFace "WhiteHead_19";
_unit setSpeaker "Male01ENG";

Would be really nice if BI would update Arsenal so it can export scripts, too.

Thanks for the info i had same problem

if you pass variable into script you need to define the variable in that script or use params.

Define private as well
