Saving/Restoring vehicle inventory

[wyattwic 38]

Hey guys,

 

How would you recommend I save a vehicle's or ammo box's detailed inventory?  

 

Currently I am saving and restoring using the "getBackpackCargo" family of commands but I have learned it doesn't save contents, attachments etc. and would love a fresh opinion.

 

Thank you!

Instead of allowing the command to grab the weapons for you why not just do it manually.

Because I believe for all the command cares, the weapons could be of any size and any attachment.

You should be able to just index the weapons from the backpack

Thanks,  I was hoping there was a pre-built function that I was missing.  The biggest issue that I have been told about is backpacks and other items within backpacks, within ammo crates/inventory.  I'll see if I can make a handler and post it here when its made.

As far as I know, backpacks in a ammo inventory are just represented visually until the need to pull them physically. So it shouldn't be too hard to find out the different types in a given ammo crate.

I'm working on creating code to address my issue, but for some reason my code below freezes the game.   Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

 

This is being ran from debug console.

 

_veh = cursorObject;

_getContainerItems = {
	_return = [];
	{
	_name = _x select 0;
	_object = _x select 1;
	
	_mags = magazinesAmmoCargo _veh;
	_weaps = weaponsItemsCargo _veh;
	_items = itemCargo _veh;
	_containers = everyContainer _veh;
	
	_containers = if (_containers isEqualTo []) then {[]} else {_containers call _getContainerItems};
	
	_return pushBack [_name,_mags,_items,_weaps,_containers];
	
	} foreach _this;
	_return
};


_top_mags = magazinesAmmoCargo _veh;

_top_weaps = weaponsItemsCargo _veh;

_top_items = itemCargo _veh;

_top_containers = everyContainer _veh;  

_top_containers = if (_top_containers isEqualTo []) then {[]} else {_top_containers call _getContainerItems};

return = [_top_mags,_top_items,_top_weaps,_top_containers];

Welp, I discovered after posing I had a few errors.  I corrected them, but now I have another issue.

 

For some reason, the below code wont return the contents of a backpack.

When broken down and ran in debug, I have no issues.  Any ideas?

 

 

getContainerItems = {
	private _return = [];
	{
	_name = _x select 0;
	_object = _x select 1;
	
	_mags = magazinesAmmo _object;
	_weaps = weaponsItems _object;
	_items = itemCargo _object;
	_containers = everyContainer _object;
	
	_containers = if (_containers isEqualTo []) then {[]} else {_containers call getContainerItems};
	
	_return pushBack [_name,_mags,_items,_weaps,_containers];
	
	} foreach _this;
	_return
};

_veh = cursorObject;
_top_mags = magazinesAmmoCargo _veh;

_top_weaps = weaponsItemsCargo _veh;

_top_items = itemCargo _veh;

_top_containers = everyContainer _veh;  

_top_containers = if (_top_containers isEqualTo []) then {[]} else {_top_containers call getContainerItems};

return = [_top_mags,_top_items,_top_weaps,_top_containers];

_containers = if (_containers isEqualTo []) then {[]} else {_containers call getContainerItems};

Havent scripted in a while

 

But isn't this forcing it into a never ending loop? because this line is within getcontaineritems?
