wyattwic 38 Posted May 4, 2018 Hello all! I am working on writing a script that saves a box's inventory in its entirety, then restores it. My biggest stall out is weapons, their attachments and loaded mags. Right now I am saving the weapons in the box using weaponsItems - I am unsure how to restore the weapon and its attachments/mags (including the number of rounds in that loaded mag). Tips would be appreciated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy Old Man 3540 Posted May 4, 2018 Not sure if there's already an easier way, but you can spawn a dummy unit at [0,0,0], give him the weapon, items and magazine with custom ammo count, then let the dummy drop the weapon into the crate using: _unit action ["PutWeapon", _YourCrate, currentWeapon _unit]; Put a 1-2 second sleep after the action, so the unit has time to put the weapon into the crate (doesn't have to be anywhere near) and finally delete the dummy.

MKD3 27 Posted May 5, 2018 I have written functions to do this before. Ill just say, this is a painful thing to do. These functions will only work together. I don't know if these are the optimal way to make it work, but this is what I had to do, and from memory there is one or two edge case bugs. Maybe you can improve on this.

wyattwic 38 Posted June 2, 2018 Thanks guys! Focusing on adding configured weapons back to the box I am following grump's suggestion. The code below works, but for some reason intermittently doesn't do the dropWeapon action. I've tried Put and Drop Weapon variations, I've also tried waiting up to 10 seconds. Any ideas? This code is spawned. Coming in as _this is "[unit,[container,weaponclass,[array of attachments]]]". params ["_thread","_process"]; removeAllWeapons _thread; removeAllItems _thread; _process params ["_container","_weapon","_attachments"]; _thread addWeapon _weapon; { _thread addWeaponItem [_weapon,_x]; } forEach _attachments; _thread action ["PutWeapon", _container, _weapon]; sleep 5; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MKD3 27 Posted June 4, 2018 Only two things i can think of would be 1. Arma or 2. Locality of the AI. Leaning more towards 1, have you tried running a loop such as.. while {(currentWeapon _unit != "")} do {sleep 1; //put in box again}; Just to see if its just the AI ignoring you? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
