adding a inventory to any item

[Theo1143 18]

There are a lot of boxes and items like this : ... which have no inventory.

Is there any way to add an inventory to this item?

FYI: You can't link to Photobucket anymore - they changed their policy - unless you want to give them $400.00 a year... I got bit by this too...

Something like this should do the trick - goes in the items init field. Obviously you do need to find the classnames of the items you want to add... This adds (4) AK-74's each loaded with (3) magazines...

RemoveAllWeapons this;
RemoveAllMagazines this;
this AddWeapon "AK_74";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddWeapon "AK_74";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddWeapon "AK_74";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddWeapon "AK_74";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddWeapon "AK_74";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";
this AddMagazine "30Rnd_545x39_AK";

This may help as well...

Thanks but that still doesn't give the item and inventory.

I want to know a way of adding the inventory action to the item itself and give it a cargo to store items in.

Hi Theo,

 

Sorry - I am missing your point - I thought you wanted to know how to place items into an empty ammo box ???

 

If the ammo box contains items - I believe the "Inventory" action  should be available when you approach it...

No thanks i'm really looking into "adding an inventory" 

There must be way with an addaction which has a script that acts as the container which opens once a player hits the button.

Or I was kinda hoping for a easier fix, isn't there something like this add cargo ?!?

No this was the first thing I tried.

(word game, ammo box is no ammo box lol... it is just a static empty object)

Hi Theo,

 

Oh - you're trying to place items into a box you come across - in game - - - while I was explaining the editor function - - - gotcha - but can't help you - sorry - I don't know... Best of luck...

I think you just use an existing box and open it remotely  using an action placed in the fake box

 

so first place a real box and make it invisible and name it ammobox1

 

then place the object you want to add an inventory to and add this code to the init

 

this addaction ["Open _Inv",
{ammobox1 setpos position (_this select 1);
(_this select 1) action ["Gear", ammobox1]},[], 6, true, true, "", "(_this distance _target)<1"];

You could probably just spawn a weaponholder but I find it easier just to place a real box and use that.

Hahaha actually this was one of the first things I tried, hiding a real box over the "ugh ugh" fake ammobox but the action would be removed with it to.

This works amazing, thanks a lot!

 

this stuff is amazing, 

change the "(_this distance _target)<1"]; to "(_this distance _target)<3"]; and it just works like a normal box.

Here's one solution

private _supply = "Supply500" createVehicle [0,0,0];
_supply attachTo [MyTinyAmmoBox, [0,0,0.3]];

I hope this helps

Oh yea that stuff is amazing, I only don't like it that you need to run it off a script first.
and also when u come to close u don't even see the inventory button because you are actually standing inside it. (prob would work better on bigger items)

Whatever, everyone hes own preference. Cheers looks amazing!
