Adding Scripted Weapons With Attached Items To AmmoBox

[zonekiller 174]

 

Is there a command or function that will let you add Scripted Weapons With Attached Items To AmmoBox or Vehicle.

 

There is this command for retrieving the weapon and attachment from a ammobox      _array =  (weaponsItemsCargo _weaponholder);   

 

That gives you something like this

_array = [["arifle_MXM_khk_F","muzzle_snds_H","acc_pointer_IR","optic_DMS",["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",30],"bipod_01_F_blk"],
["hgun_Pistol_heavy_02_F","","","",["6Rnd_45ACP_Cylinder",6],""],
["hgun_Pistol_heavy_02_F","","","",["6Rnd_45ACP_Cylinder",6],""]];

 

This is great for backing up to the InIDBi2 database

 

The Issue is how to but it back into a vehicle or ammobox from the database as there is no addweaponsItemsCargo command

 

Anyone got any ideas ??

there is nothing on the wiki as far as I can see.

i guess you can only add the parts of the weapon and the weapon itself to the container, but you probably cant throw them in there combined.

Tricky way: create dummy unit (invisible / no simulation) -> add weapon with attachments -> put weapon to the box -> delete unit

@serena,   Top marks that is how I have done it. except (no simulation) the unit needs to complete the animation to add the items

 

I was hoping there was a simpler way.

 

 

Here's the code if anyone's interested

 

_myloadout = 
{
params ["_myunit","_WEAPONS"];

_x = _WEAPONS;

_armed = 0;
_gun = _x select 0;
_item_1 = _x select 1;
_item_2 = _x select 2; 
_item_3 = _x select 3;  
_item_4 = "";
_item_5 = "";
_item_6 = "";

if (count _x > 4) then 
{
if (typename (_x select 4) == "ARRAY") then [{if !(_myunit canAdd (_x select 4)) then {_armed = 4}else{_myunit addMagazine (_x select 4)}},{_item_4 = (_x select 4)}];
};

if (count _x > 5) then 
{
if (typename (_x select 5) == "ARRAY") then [{if !(_myunit canAdd (_x select 5)) then {_armed = 5}else{_myunit addMagazine (_x select 5)}},{_item_5 = (_x select 5)}];
};

if (count _x > 6) then 
{
if (typename (_x select 6) == "ARRAY") then [{if !(_myunit canAdd (_x select 6)) then {_armed = 6}else{_myunit addMagazine (_x select 6)}},{_item_6 = (_x select 6)}];
};

if (_armed > 0) then {if (backpack _myunit == "") then {_myunit addBackpack "B_AssaultPack_blk";_myunit spawn {sleep 2;removeBackpack _this}};_myunit addMagazine (_x select _armed);_armed = 0};

_type = "";

if (_gun != "") then {
_myunit addWeaponGlobal _gun;
_namesound = gettext(configfile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _gun >> "nameSound");

if ((_namesound == "rifle") or (_namesound == "mgun")) then {_type = "r"};
if ((_namesound == "aalauncher") or (_namesound == "atlauncher")) then {_type = "s"};
if (_namesound == "Pistol") then {_type = "h"};
};

_items = [_item_1,_item_2,_item_3,_item_4,_item_5,_item_6];

for "_i" from 0 to 5 do
{
_myitem = _items select _i;
if ((_myitem != "") && (_type == "r")) then {_myunit addPrimaryWeaponItem _myitem};
if ((_myitem != "") && (_type == "s")) then {_myunit addSecondaryWeaponItem _myitem};
if ((_myitem != "") && (_type == "h")) then {_myunit addHandgunItem _myitem};
};

};

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

		{if (count _x > 2) then
			{
			[_dude,_x] call _myloadout;

unit addWeaponItem [weaponName, itemName]
unit addWeaponItem [weaponName, [itemName, ammoCount, muzzleName]]

 

[zonekiller 174]

unit addWeaponItem [weaponName, [itemName, ammoCount, muzzleName]]

I will test this but not sure it will do tripod and flashlight  -- hmmmm

 

_type  = getNumber (configFile >> "CfgWeapons" >> _gun >> "Type");

switch (_type) do

 

is a good idea :)  thankls

This simple function equip unit with custom fitted weapon, loaded with specified magazines with default or custom ammo count:

EquipUnitWithCustomWeapon = {
	params ["_unit", "_weapon", "_parts"];
	_unit addWeaponGlobal _weapon;
	{	_unit addWeaponItem [_weapon, _x]
	} forEach _parts;
};


// Usage:
[player, "arifle_MX_GL_F", ["muzzle_snds_H","acc_pointer_IR","optic_Arco",["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag",30],["1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell",1]]]
	call EquipUnitWithCustomWeapon;

* count of ammo in magazine - optional

works like a charm - Thanks

[serena 150]

Two array allocations, array comparsion and copy operations in one line: _wep_items = _x - [_gun]

 

[serena 150]

EquipUnitWithCustomWeapons = {
	params ["_unit", "_weapons"];
	{	private _weapon = nil;
		{
			if (_forEachIndex > 0)
				then {_unit addWeaponItem [_weapon, _x]}
				else {_weapon = _x; _unit addWeaponGlobal _weapon}
		} forEach _x
	} forEach _weapons
};


// Add custom pistol and rifle
[player, [
	["arifle_MX_GL_F", "muzzle_snds_H","acc_pointer_IR","optic_Arco",["30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag"],["1Rnd_HE_Grenade_shell"]],
	["hgun_Pistol_heavy_01_F","muzzle_snds_acp","optic_MRD",["11Rnd_45ACP_Mag",11]]]] call EquipUnitWithCustomWeapons;
