Disappearing Magazines

[El' Rabito 156]

I guess everyone knows the bug where you pickup vests/backpacks/weapons and your primary weapon loses magazines sometimes. (They just disapear).
Does anybody ever found a reason for that or maybe even a fix ? I always said *#arma but some players are really annoyed by it.

How is your experience as admins and players with this bug ? Do you know it ?

mmm, I never had this or never actually noticed (because it happens on a very rare occasions? )

[El' Rabito 156]

Do you use infistar ? And if so do you have fix_uniform_and_vest = "true"; in your EXILE_AHAT_CONFIG.hpp ?

[chernaruski 338]

Yep. It's = "true".  How bad is it for you? It happens often? 

[El' Rabito 156]

For an survival server to often yea. Mostly while looting

[El' Rabito 156]

Here you can see it, just manged to catch it.

Hmmm, interesting. I definitely never experienced this. Tho, I only used CUP's Weapons/Gear. 

Hard to tell, man. I assume you have a heavily modified exile mod, have you edited anything related to "pickup" action or some code related to the number of magazines on "pickup"/looted? Keep monitoring, try to find the exact scenario that reproduces this bug (not randomly caught, but reproduce exactly when & where you want it). Try to rebuild the exact steps & pay attention to the weapons/ammo/backpacks (mods) used. I also wouldn't scratch out an option of some gear mod that causes this (TRYK ?).

I to have never had this happen either in exile or vanilla Arma, maybe this could be down to a mod or script you're using?

I have never noticed this problem on our server. Like Sgt Smash said maybe a mod or a script that cause that.

Hello @El' Rabito - One thing you could do and it should work is to do this:

 

1 - Create 2 LOCAL (player only) event handlers:

A - InventoryClosed

B - InventoryOpened

 

2 - Create a script for the EH that when the inventory screen is opened, it counts the number of mags and their names.

 

3 - When the inventory is closed, count the number of mags again.  IF the number from #2 >= than the new count, do nothing.  If not add back those mags that are no longer there.  Or you could verify the mag array from #2 if you desired so instead of a count.

 

It is a 'quick and dirty' method, but it SHOULD (my opinion) work without a hitch!

 

This script HERE may help you with a starting point.
