Hello,

 

I would like know how i can detect when a player drop an item for delete it.

I have try with "addEventHandler Put" but the return of item is type string and DeleteVehicle use type object..

An item is not an OBJECT so deleteVehicle will not work anyway.

player addEventHandler[ "Put", {
	params[ "_unit", "_container", "_item" ];
	
	//Only if its dropped on the floor AND is an item
	if ( { _container isKindOf _x }count [ "weaponHolder", "weaponHolderSimulated" ] > 0 && { _item isKindOf[ "ItemCore", configFile >> "CfgWeapons" ] } ) then {
		
		//Get item contents of weaponHolder
		_itemContents = itemCargo _container call BIS_fnc_consolidateArray;
		
		//Find the dropped item type in contents
		_index = _itemContents findIf{ _x select 0 == _item };
		
		//Remove 1 from items count
		_itemContents select _index set[ 1, ( _itemContents select _index select 1 ) - 1 ];
		
		//Clear container of all items
		clearItemCargoGlobal _container;
		
		//Add back modified contents
		{
			_container addItemCargoGlobal _x;
		}forEach _itemContents;
		
	};
}];

Code works fine as I tested it before posting. Check what you have copied has no hidden characters( known forum bug ) OR rewrite it from scratch.

nice code ; thx !! question were do I put this ?? in the Init of the player ? or in the mission folder?? I have tried in the init of player, I take gear form a box and it still drop it on the floor .... Help plz

I'd recommend making an "initPlayerLocal.sqf".
However, if the mission includes respawning, you might want to use "OnPlayerRespawn.sqf" instead.

Can I save this as an sqf file and add it to my init.sqf file and execVM ?

Yes, but this would work well on single player. In case you intend to use it for multiplayer too it could prove beneficial to use/run it inside an initPlayerLocal.sqf like razzored suggested.
