How to empty out an arsenal so that only specific items are available?

How to empty out an arsenal so that only specific items are available? I want to set up an arsenal that has a selection of headgear and goggles, without allowing players to get more ammo for their weapon.

There is a problem with that:

[myBox,["%All"],true] call BIS_fnc_removeVirtualWeaponCargo; //%All dont work

1. Do I have to empty out all possible weapons by using a large array?

2. the arsenal box makes available by default the equipment the player carries when entering it for the first time. This can be exploited in MP, because he can drop his RCO scope, re-access the arsenal and get a new one, duplicating whatever items is needed.

I dont see an obvious way to suppress that, or am I overlooking something?

When you initialize the ammobox do the following and I believe Arsenal is then empty and you fill it with what you want

0 = ["AmmoboxInit",[_box,false,{true}]] spawn BIS_fnc_arsenal;

Then use the addVirtual commands to control what is actually in the box.

Thanks but I tried that already. The game still adds the player's weapon to the arsenal when he accesses it.

Hm, then it may be easier to just make a standard gear box with only those specified items available.

You can try and remove all the weapons from the player when he spawns.
