Know cargo seats of a vehicle

[barbolani 198]

Hi!

All the references I find to this lead to this snippet:

cargo = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf vehicle) >> "transportSoldier");

This + allTurrets + 1 for the driver should give me how many seats has a vehicle.

Well, actually cargo returns 0 or 1 in any vehicle I'm trying.

It seems "transportSoldier" returns only the forward seats of any car, but not sure...

Any workaround there?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: OH forget about it:

_maxCargo = (_veh emptyPositions "Cargo") + (_veh emptyPositions "Commander") + (_veh emptyPositions "Gunner") + (_veh emptyPositions "Driver");

Sorry for the double post, but, the solution I wrote is not correct as dead units inside the vehicle will give less seats. If anyone can help...

Look at this https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/assignAsCargoIndex Use this to find who is in that cargo position then use an if assignedCargo statement to unassign them then run your script. ;) Not tested but should in theory if I explained that well work. :)

Thanks Mikey, but that command does not serve for that purpose.

My findings is the config thing excludes all the cargo seats from which you can fire, so a combination of this + allturrets true gave the solution:

_maxCargo = (getNumber (configFile >> "CfgVehicles" >> (typeOf _veh) >> "transportSoldier")) + (count allTurrets [_veh, true]) + 1;
