How make box with stuff saved at each restart ?

[ALPHIVE 14]

Hi everybody !

 

Im searching how to make a box (named "box_alpha_1", that can be saved by the player, or automaticly, to avoid wipe when restart happens

Someone told me about InventoryOpen and InventoryClosed, but i dont know really what is this

 

Do you know a way ?

Thanks guys !

My approach would be to use the ContainerClosed EH. This structure might give you a general idea:

// Init field of the box
if (isServer) then {
	this addEventHandler ["ContainerClosed", {
		params ["_container", "_unit"];
		// Get the container cargo (?)
		// _cargo = itemCargo _container; //???
		profilenamespace setvariable ["your_cargo_var",_cargo];
	}];
};

The code would be executed everytime the box was accessed and items potentially altered. Saving the contents periodically seems unneccessary as it only affects performance while the items shouldn't change without any player interaction.

Getting the cargo is another story though. I think I saw some code here on the forums but couldnt find it so far. Using profileNamespace is also not the perfect way as it clutters the users profileNamespace. It is the easiest option for persistency though.

I do something similar for the group of guys that I play with to emulate 'dwindling supplies' at the end of each mission. I use a trigger to report the contents of the crates containing our ammo and other supplies to the server.rpt right before the mission ends. I then can go through, pull those lines of code, and adjust the starting contents of the crates for the next mission. You could add the script to fire on a repeatable addAction or something similar. But it won't automatically update your crate, so it may not be the solution you are looking for.
