Possible to add items to shipping/cargo containers ?

[spitfire007 10]

I am guessing not. But would like a definitive answer.

Is it possible to add cargo to shipping containers ?

iirc, you can alter the following CE's to let objects carry things:

transportmaxbackpacks = 4;
transportmaxmagazines = 64;
transportmaxweapons = 12;

then alter/construct transportxxx classes:

class TransportMagazines {
class _xx_30Rnd_556x45_Stanag {
	magazine="30Rnd_556x45_Stanag";
	count=20;
};
class _xx_7Rnd_408_Mag {
	magazine="7Rnd_408_Mag";
	count=10;
};
};

Hope that helps

You can always create a custom container/ammobox in a config, and then assign it a model that you want. I like to do it on objects that don't normally have an inventory.

Thanks guys ...

I am still slightly confused by your answers.

@Das

What is iirc ? and CE's ?

@BadHabitz

I have no idea what you mean ?

[das attorney 858]

iirc = If I recall correctly

CE's = config entries.

I assume you mean altering the config; if you're planning it on doing by scripting then use addMagazineCargo and check the object can actually carry cargo etc.

BadHabitz meant taking an existing entry and changing the model = "blah\blah\model.p3d" path

[spitfire007 10]

Ahhh....

Yes I plan on doing it via scripting.

So I would find the existing .p3d model and change that ?

I am not making an addon I just want it to work in a normal mission ?

[das attorney 858]

Ah right I thought you wanted to change the configs as it was in this forum.

If you want to script it, then you can't change the model (need to alter config to alter model).

By scripting do the usual

_container addMagazineCargoGlobal ["7Rnd_408_Mag",10];

_container addWeaponCargoGlobal ["SomeWeapon", 15];

etc.

As I say though, if it doesn't work, then it's because the config for the shipping container doesn't allow it.

Thanks Das.

I want to fill a container with vehicles though... not ammo ?

Sorry for the confusion about the wrong forum. Oops.

[das attorney 858]

Ok, in that case you would probably need to create a system to keep track of vehicles.

If I were you, I would look at something like r3f logistics, or igiLoad and see how they did it.

I'm guessing that they save the vehicle data as a variable to the cargo object, then retrieve it and apply it to a newly spawned vehicle when they want to get the vehicle out of the container.
