[HELP] Ied factory script

[Texeiro 15]

want to make a script in which if certain conditions are met, a specific result is produced. Specifically what I am trying to do is an IED factory. There are two requirements inicially: The presence of a "technician" ( will do with a trigger) and the other the raw material. The raw material must be placed in" box a "and "box B" will show the finished product. this is what i tried so far and i can't get it to work:

 

Spoiler

 _items = magazinesAmmo box1;

if ( "DemoCharge_F" in _items) then { box2  addMagazineCargoGlobal  ["SatchelCharge_F", 10]  }

Can someone say me what I m doing wrong? Thanks i advance

You can't detect magazine name by magazinesAmmo in that usage, since it returns an array so in doesn't work well.

magazinesAmmo YourBoxNameHere findif {_x#0 == "YourMagazineNameHere"} != -1

Try this method instead to detect.

Thanks Polpox for your help.!!!!

tried:

magazinesAmmo box1 findif {_x #0 == "DemoCharge_F"} != -1;
then { box2  addMagazineCargoGlobal  ["SatchelCharge_F", 10]  };

 

It didn t work,  show some error. Is that #0 ok?

That's not even correct syntax for if, nor sqf. Do just like before.

if (magazinesAmmo box1 findif {_x#0 == "DemoCharge_F"} != -1) then {
	box2  addMagazineCargoGlobal  ["SatchelCharge_F", 10]
};

DemoCharge_F and SatchelCharge_F aren't correct ammo name BTW (at least in vanilla Arma 3), so this won't work also. You probably looking for those classes: DemoCharge_Remote_Mag and SatchelCharge_Remote_Mag.

How do you execute it? And what exactly do you wanted to do to the code?

[Tankbuster 1733]

Magazinesammo returns nested arrays .

Any tests on the result will have to iterate through the returned arrays.

@polpox ; I execute it from the init. I want to use the box A content as raw material for the product in box B . If I got some kind of explosive in box A I could manufacture IEDs in Box B.

@tankbuster: sorry I don´t get it, I ´m just a noob with scripts.

So in a nutshell if you put DemoCharge_Remote_Mag into the box, will generate 10 SatchelCharge_Remote_Mags is the thing you wanted to do? And maybe you wanted to remove DemoCharge if is in box?

Okay, so, init only executes once, when the mission starts. Of course in the beginning there was nothing so nothing happens. You might need a repeatable Trigger to do this.

 

Condition:

magazinesAmmo box1 findif {_x#0 == "DemoCharge_Remote_Mag"} != -1

On Activation:

box2 addMagazineCargoGlobal ["SatchelCharge_Remote_Mag", 10]; clearMagazineCargo box1;

 

Of course not perfect but still works like a charm.
