I need to know the logic of the sqe/sqf syntax/code of the weapons' box

[sunrrrise 14]

Hello,

in Eden I have created a box containing many weapons, mags and stuff. Here is its code:

value="[[[[""rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII"",""rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII_M203"",""rhs_weap_mk18"",""rhsusf_weap_MP7A1_base_f"",""rhs_weap_M107"",""rhs_weap_m14ebrri"",""rhs_weap_sr25"",""rhs_weap_M136"",""rhs_weap_M136_hedp"",""rhs_weap_M136_hp"",""rhs_weap_smaw_gr_optic"",""rhs_weap_fgm148"",""rhs_weap_m240B_CAP"",""rhs_weap_m249_pip_S_vfg"",""rhs_weap_mk18_m320""],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]],[[""rhsusf_mag_10Rnd_STD_50BMG_M33"",""rhsusf_mag_10Rnd_STD_50BMG_mk211"",""ACE_HuntIR_M203"",""rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk262_Stanag"",""rhs_mag_30Rnd_556x45_Mk318_Stanag"",""rhsusf_mag_40Rnd_46x30_AP"",""rhsusf_mag_40Rnd_46x30_FMJ"",""rhsusf_mag_40Rnd_46x30_JHP"",""rhsusf_20Rnd_762x51_m118_special_Mag"",""rhsusf_20Rnd_762x51_m62_Mag"",""rhsusf_20Rnd_762x51_m993_Mag"",""rhsusf_mag_7x45acp_MHP"",""rhsusf_200Rnd_556x45_soft_pouch"",""rhsusf_100Rnd_762x51"",""rhs_fgm148_magazine_AT"",""rhs_mag_smaw_SR"",""rhsusf_m112_mag"",""DemoCharge_Remote_Mag"",""rhsusf_m112x4_mag"",""SatchelCharge_Remote_Mag"",""ClaymoreDirectionalMine_Remote_Mag"",""HandGrenade"",""ACE_M84"",""Chemlight_blue"",""Chemlight_green"",""Chemlight_red"",""Chemlight_yellow"",""B_IR_Grenade"",""SmokeShellBlue"",""SmokeShellGreen"",""SmokeShellOrange"",""SmokeShellPurple"",""SmokeShellRed"",""SmokeShellYellow"",""SmokeShell"",""rhs_mag_M441_HE"",""rhs_mag_M585_white"",""rhs_mag_smaw_HEDP"",""rhs_mag_smaw_HEAA""],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]],[[""rhsusf_acc_grip1"",""rhsusf_acc_harris_bipod"",""rhsusf_acc_ELCAN_ard"",""rhsusf_acc_premier"",""rhsusf_acc_LEUPOLDMK4"",""rhsusf_acc_anpeq15_bk"",""rhsusf_acc_eotech_552"",""rhsusf_acc_compm4"",""rhs_acc_at4_handler"",""rhsusf_acc_nt4_black"",""rhsusf_acc_nt4_tan"",""rhsusf_acc_LEUPOLDMK4_2"",""rhsusf_acc_SR25S"",""rhsusf_acc_SpecterDR_D""],[1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]],[[],[]]],false]";

Creating a box via Eden is not the simplest task so I have written little interpreter in Python. This is the code generated by this interpreter:

"[[[""rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII""], [4]], [[""rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII_M203""], [4]], [[""rhs_weap_mk18""], [4]], [[""rhs_weap_mk18_m320""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_weap_MP7A1_base_f""], [4]], [[""rhs_weap_sr25""], [1]], [[""rhs_weap_M107""], [1]], [[""rhs_weap_m249_pip_S_vfg""], [1]], [[""rhsusf_weap_m1911a1""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_weap_glock17g4""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_eotech_552_d""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_compm4""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_ACOG""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_SpecterDR_D""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_LEUPOLDMK4""], [1]], [[""rhsusf_acc_ELCAN_ard""], [1]], [[""rhsusf_acc_anpeq15""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_grip3""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_harris_bipod""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_nt4_tan""], [4]], [[""rhsusf_acc_SR25S""], [1]],false];

As you can see the main difference is splitting weapon name and its number into separater pairs. But this does not work! Once I paste the code into sqe file and try to run it then I got no errors but only rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII and rhs_weap_mk18 are visible in the box. What is wrong here?

You can't just make up your own data format and expect Arma to be able to use it. The correct format looks pretty self evident though:

value="
[
 [
  [
   [<weaponClasses>],
   [<numbersOfWeapons>]
  ],
  [
   [<magazineClasses>],
   [<numbersOfMagazines>]
  ],
   [
    [<itemClasses>],
    [<numbersOfItems>]
   ],
  [
   [<backpackClasses>],
   [<numbersOfBackpacks>]
  ]
 ],
 <virtualSupplyBoxFlag>
]";

Thank you!!! So it is a little bit more (or less, depending on point of view) complicated. Another question then: while some items are pretty self-explanatory (like rhs_weap_m4a1_blockII) , how can I be sure that given classname is a member of, let say, weapon class and not magazine nor item class? How can I check it to be sure?

Creating a box is Eden is the simplest thing ever. Place down a box. Expand equipment storage. Click + to add however many of whatever you want. Not Scripts needed. Certainly no Python conversions.

Did that not work for you?

To be frank... no. As long as I agree that this box editor is huge step forward for ArmA (as well as Arsenal and EDEN as a whole) I am used to work with my set of weapons/items/mags. I have collected their classnames in csv file. When I want to add certain number of given weapon then I edit the file and convert it with Python converter. CSV file looks like this:

                  Weapons

It is much easier and faster for me :)
