BIS_fnc_addVirtualItemCargo

[Nikander 123]

Noticed unexpected behavior with BIS_fnc_addVirtualItemCargo while editing and testing my multiplayer mission:

[missionNamespace, "FirstAidKit", false, false] call BIS_fnc_addVirtualItemCargo;

Code above appears to be broadcasting Arsenal cargo globally in missionNamespace to all connected clients, although documentation suggests the effect should be local. Verified with player-hosted LAN session for two computers, using the Arsenal on both host and client by issuing the command:

[] spawn BIS_fnc_Arsenal;

Looking at BIS_fnc_addVirtualItemCargo source with functions viewer in Eden the global broadcast seems quite obvious, so is it just me or is there a conflict between code and documentation ?

Excerpt from BIS_fnc_addVirtualItemCargo:

if (_save) then {

        if (typename _object == typename missionnamespace) then {

                _object setvariable ["bis_addVirtualWeaponCargo_cargo",_cargo];

                publicvariable "bis_addVirtualWeaponCargo_cargo";

        } else {

                _object setvariable ["bis_addVirtualWeaponCargo_cargo",_cargo,_isGlobal];

        };
};
