Commands for: showing units on map and preventing players from dropping inventory?

[BEAKSBY 11]

HI All,

I can't remember the command for showing your units on the map? ...it was something like showenable?

Also, is there a command that prevents player from dropping weapons / inventory?

Do you mean setGroupIconsVisible?

If you're on dev branch you could probably use an EH for inventory restriction.

player addEventHandler ["inventoryOpened", {closeDialog 602;}];

Or

while {true} do {
sleep 0.1;
   if (!(isNull (findDisplay 602))) then {
       closeDialog 602;
   };
};

Also maybe something like deleting weapon holders could work.

while {true} do {
sleep 1;
{
	deleteVehicle _x
} forEach nearestObjects [player, ["GroundWeaponHolder"], 5];
};

You could also use a put EH, check the item type, delete the placed item if needed, and give it back to the player. ie; When a player goes to place his weapons in a crate or on the ground.

player addEventHandler ["put", {
_unit = _this select 0;
_container = _this select 1;
_item = _this select 2;

_typeArray = [_item] call BIS_fnc_itemType;
if ((_typeArray select 0) == "Weapon") then {
	if (_container isKindOf "GroundWeaponHolder") then {
		{
			deleteVehicle _x
		} forEach nearestObjects [player, ["GroundWeaponHolder"], 5];
	} else {
		_container removeWeapon _item;
	};
	player addWeaponGlobal _item;
	player selectWeapon _item;
};
}];

Or something like this

player addEventHandler ["put", {
_unit = _this select 0;
_container = _this select 1;
_item = _this select 2;

_typeArray = [_item] call BIS_fnc_itemType;
if (_container isKindOf "GroundWeaponHolder") then {
	{
		deleteVehicle _x
	} forEach nearestObjects [player, ["GroundWeaponHolder"], 5];
	switch (_typeArray select 0) do {
		case "Weapon":{
			player addWeaponGlobal _item;
			player selectWeapon _item;
		};
		case "Item":{player addItem _item;};
		case "Magazine":{player addMagazineGlobal _item;};
	};
} else {
	switch (_typeArray select 0) do {
		case "Weapon":{
			_container removeWeapon _item;
			player addWeaponGlobal _item;
			player selectWeapon _item;
		};
		case "Item":{
			_container removeItem _item;
			player addItem _item;
		};
		case "Magazine":{
			_container removeMagazine _item;
			player addMagazineGlobal _item;
		};
	};
};
}];

Iceman always has to do things the complicated way :p

player addEventHandler["Put",
{
clearItemCargo (_this select 1);
if ((_this select 0) canAddItemToUniform (_this select 2)) then
{
	((_this select 0) addItemToUniform (_this select 2));
	hintSilent "Please don't litter.";
}else
{
	if ((_this select 0) canAddItemToVest (_this select 2)) then
	{
		((_this select 0) addItemToVest (_this select 2));
		hintSilent "Please don't litter.";
	}else
	{
		if ((_this select 0) canAddItemToBackpack (_this select 2)) then
		{
			((_this select 0) addItemToBackpack (_this select 2));
			hintSilent "Please don't litter.";
		}else
		{
			hintSilent "How the hell did you get this in there?";
		};
	};
};
}];

The only problem with this is that I was unable to get removeItem to work properly so it deletes everything in the container. Be careful you don't try to drop items in to a filled container.

Silly goose? LOL. In any case, he was wanting to prevent weapons from being placed so...

Put EH from the suggestion in my earlier post.

player addEventHandler ["put", {
_unit = _this select 0;
_container = _this select 1;
_item = _this select 2;

_typeArray = [_item] call BIS_fnc_itemType;
if ((_typeArray select 0) == "Weapon") then {
	if (_container isKindOf "GroundWeaponHolder") then {
		{
			deleteVehicle _x
		} forEach nearestObjects [player, ["GroundWeaponHolder"], 5];
	} else {
		_container removeWeapon _item;
	};
	player addWeaponGlobal _item;
	player selectWeapon _item;
};
}];

Keep in mind I'm just fiddling here =).

UPDATED CODE

[BEAKSBY 11]

Ok thanks again guys,

...and yes setGroupIconsVisible is the one I was looking for.

[iceman77 18]

Updated my first post with put EH :p. It's janky or w/e, but it essentially keeps players from placing weapons on the ground or in crates. Tweak it for your needs. Maybe combine a little of dread's code.

Don't use clearItemCargo hehe. You only need to remove and replace the 1 item.
