ACE Arsenal Eden Whitelist?

[Raptoid21 1]

Hello, I'm attempting to get a whitelist working for an Ace Arsenal box, but I'm unsure how to use it. I don't know much about the editor but so far I got the Arsenal to work, however it's showing everything instead of limiting what I have whitelisted, I'm assuming I have to add something else to get it to work.

 

I tried this command:

this addAction["Open Arsenal", {[this, player, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_openBox}];

 

However "this" didn't work so I changed the variable to "box" and changed the init line to

 

this addAction["Open Arsenal", {[box, player, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_openBox}];

 

Thank you.

Imagine what's between {} is a complete different script (well it is) it doesn't know what "this is" but with addaction you can pass parameters to the script so:

this addAction["Open Arsenal", {[_this select 0, player, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_openBox},[this]]; 

will work.
to white list items just follow the loadout steps here :

Thank you, I'm trying some stuff to get the whitelist working though.

 

this addAction["Open Arsenal", {[_this select 0, player, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox},[this]];

[_box, ["ACE_surgicalKit"]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox;

[_box, true] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox;

I tried inserting these three lines into the init field to get the Ace surgical kit to show up alone for example from that link, but it says it expects a bool,array. Should have mentioned I know nothing about even basic coding 

[Mr H. 402]

[this, ["ACE_surgicalKit"]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_addVirtualItems

if you add to an existing box.
[this, ["ACE_surgicalKit"]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox;
if you create a new box
BTW I think you don't need the addaction because ace does it itself

Unfortunately neither of those worked. I'm assuming that line placed in the init is just supposed to work? I'm just troubleshooting in the editor, so do I have to do something else? This might be a stupid question but I'm confused as to what constitutes a "new" box, aren't all boxes technically new when the mission starts? Or aren't they all already existing since they've been placed in the editor? The menu item wouldn't even show up so I tried 
 

this addAction["Open Arsenal", [this, ["ACE_surgicalKit"]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox];

this2 addAction["Open Arsenal", [this2, ["ACE_surgicalKit"]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_addVirtualItems];

And they do show up in the scroll menu, however they don't do anything.

[Mr H. 402]

Yes that's because you don't need the add action (ace does it already and adds an ace 3 interaction I think). BTW "This" is not just any variable. It refers to the object whose init box you're editing. Things like this2 make no sense at all

Yes. Because you tell them to not do anything.

You need to pass a script to the addAction's "script" parameter.

 

What you are doing is executing

[this, ["ACE_surgicalKit"]] call ace_arsenal_fnc_initBox

And passing that result to addAction. the initBox function returns nothing, so you are passing nothing to the addAction. Thus the addAction also does.. Nothing.
As said multiple times, ACE Arsenal add's it's own action to the box in the ACE Interaction menu, just use that.

Correct.

You are trying to pass a object (player) as the whitelist, that doesn't make sense. It can only be bool or array.

You are setting up the whitelist correctly. But then right after that you are deleting the whitelist again and are allowing all items.

Yeah because it's not in the scroll menu, it's in the ACE menu.
