Supply Crate

[jcae2798 132]

Sorry for the dumb simple question. When using the support module, is there a way to change the type of crate it sends? I know we can runa script om INIT, but i wanted to choose a specific crate it drops (NATO Cargonet Crate).

Thanks

Thanks. if i'm reading it correctly you cannot change the box itself but can change the ammo in cargo with INIT codes. Oh well thanks anyways :)

If that's the case then do this.

Supply Drop Module Crate Init:

_this execVM "newCrate.sqf";

newCrate.sqf

private ["_side","_parachute","_crateType","_newCrate"];

_side = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> typeOf _this >> "Side");

_parachute = attachedTo _this;
detach _this;
deleteVehicle _this;

_crateType = switch _side do {
case 0:{"O_CargONet_01_ammo_F";};
case 1:{"B_CargoNet_01_ammo_F";};
case 2:{"I_CargoNet_01_ammo_F";};
default {"B_CargoNet_01_ammo_F";};
};

_newCrate = createVehicle [_crateType, [0,0,0], [], 0, "CAN_COLLIDE"];
_newCrate attachTo [_parachute, [0, 0, -1.3]];

Added side ID and switch statement. Cleaned up the code.

Awesomeness Iceman, that worked like a charm. Thanks man

No worries. Though I could have swore the supply module had a crate type parameter.
