Help: noob script: transfer dead unit inventory

[palatine 24]

Hi guys, im trying to create a script that transfers inventory of dead soldier to a container name "MyBox";

 

1) Im trying this, but it will only transfer the main weapon of dead unit to "MyBox"

{
  [_x, MyBox] call W_fnc_doTransfer; // this function using simple addItemCargo from _x to _Dest
} forEach (nearestObjects [getPos player, ["WeaponHolderSimulated", "GroundWeaponHolder", "Default"], 400] );

 

2) I'm trying this below, but it won't transfer from dead unit inventory. When trying in alive unit, it work.

 

{
  _source = _this select 0;
  _dest = _this select 1;

  if (!alive _x) then {
    // sample code to transfer from Vest to Box
    _itemSource = count (vestItems (_source));
    systemChat format ["VEST -> Target: %1 items.", _itemSource];

    _itemDest = count (itemCargo _dest) + count (magazineCargo _dest) + count (weaponCargo _dest);
    {
      _dest addItemCargo [_x, 1];
    } forEach vestItems (_source);
            
    if ( (_itemDest + _itemSource) == (count (itemCargo _dest) + count (magazineCargo _dest) + count (weaponCargo _dest)) ) then {
      clearItemCargo vestContainer (_source);
      clearMagazineCargo vestContainer (_source);
      clearWeaponCargo vestContainer (_source);
      systemChat format ["%1 item(s) transferred.", _itemSource];
    } else {
      systemChat format ["Error detected during items transfer."];
    };
  };
} forEach ( (position player) nearEntities ["Man", 400] );

 

Any suggestion?

Thanks

Try these commands to get stuff off from dead unit:

 

weapons _man;
magazinesAmmoFull _man;
items _man;

the "WeaponHolderSimulated" only holds the rifle (or maybe other weapon) which the unit dropped at death.

Hi @gc8, thanks... but no luck :(
I tried something like this and so for magazinesAmmoFull _x and items _x;

{
  if (!alive _x) then {
    _Array = weapons _x; 
    {
      MyBox addWeaponCargo [_x, 1];
    } forEach _Array;
  };
} forEach ( (position player) nearEntities ["Man", 400] );

Also, do you think my "forEach" criteria is okay?

I know what the problem is, it's nearEntities. the command doesn't seem to return dead units. So use nearestObjects instead, like so:

 

nearestObjects [position player, ["Man"], 400]

Hi @gc8 yes you're right.. it worked. I need to tidy up all my messy codes little bit, and will see if there are another problem that might need your expertise related to this.. thanks :)

Hi @gc8, just a question: is there any way to move a container (e.g: backpack) to another container (e.g: car) by using reference?

For example: a backpack contain "1 pistol + 5 mags" - need to be transferred into a car. in game, we can easily do this by equipping the backpack and drop the backpack to car inventory. the content would remain.

However if using "addWeaponCargo, addMagazineCargo, and stuff" it would take some try and error to correctly doing this.

Any suggestion on the best way to do this?

If it has to be done using "everyContainer, addWeaponCargo, additemCargo, addmagazineCargo... then it's ok.. I just wonder if there are any simple and better way :D

Also you might consider using this command : getUnitLoadout

 

There is also setUnitLoadout which can be used to set the previously got loadout to a given unit, but it may not suit your needs here.

[gc8 970]

@palatine I dont know if there is a such command that can move the backpack from one place to another. Hopefully someone else knows.

 

If there's no command you just need to get the stuff out of the backpack manually. Use backpack, addBackpack, backpackItems, addItemToBackpack, etc. for this.

 

[Grumpy Old Man 3540]

No simple solution to this.

You could probably spawn a dummy unit somewhere off map, use getUnitloadout on the dead one, use setUnitloadout on the dummy and then have it put every single item in a crate with the Put action or whatever it's called.

Not really pretty or fast.

 

Cheers

Hi @palatine, did you manage to make this work? I want something like this myself but all I get is empty arrays out dead bodies
