Copying Vest Content to Another Vest?

[RyanTurner 23]

Good afternoon to everyone,

 

I've been here for a while to figure how to I get the information (ammo, grenades, etc..) of the current vest and transfer/paste into the new vest.

 

{
  if ((side _x) == West) then // For every units in Blufor 
  {
     if ((vest _x == "V_PlateCarrierGL_rgr") or (vest _x == "V_PlateCarrierSpec_rgr")) then // If they have X or Y Vest
	 {
		removeVest _x; // Remove the Current Vest
		_x addVest "V_PlateCarrier1_rgr"; // Change to the Plate Carrier
	 };
	 
  };
} forEach allUnits;

Before removing the Current vest, I would like to copy the content and transfer it to the new one.

 

Current Vest: 

4x 30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag

2x 30Rnd_65x39_caseless_mag_Tracer

3x 16Rnd_9x21_Mag

2x HandGrenade

2x B_IR_Grenade

1x SmokeShell

1x SmokeShellGreen

1x SmokeShellBlue

1x SmokeShellOrange

2x Chemlight_green

 

New Vest: 

<Empty>

[pierremgi 4836]

The simplest way:

You must save the content of the vest in a variable :

_oldContent = vestItems _x

then, use addIemToVest after adding vest:

 

{

  private _unit = _x;

   if (vest _unit == "V_PlateCarrierGL_rgr" or vest _unit == "V_PlateCarrierSpec_rgr") then {

    _oldContent = vestItems _unit;

     removeVest _unit;

    _unit addVest "V_PlateCarrier1_rgr";

    {

      if (_unit canAddItemToVest _x) then { _unit addItemToVest _x}

    } forEach _oldContent;

  };

} forEach (allUnits select {side _x == WEST});

 

This script doesn't take into account the remaining rounds on each magazine. If you need that, you must use another command like getUnitLoadout.

That's where I was getting mired down, should have switched to a get/set approach.

how do i add a vest with item to a crate?

 

[pierremgi 4836]

Say your crate is crate1.You want to add a:   v_plateCarrierGL_mtp  with 3 batteries, 2 FAK and 1 binoculars.

 

if (isServer) then {
    crate1 spawn {
        params ["_myCrate"];
        private _myVestItems = [["firstAidKit",2],["binocular",1],["laserBatteries",3]];
        private _conts = +(everyContainer _myCrate);
        _myCrate addItemCargoGlobal ["V_PlateCarrierGL_mtp",1];
        private _theVest = (+(everyContainer _myCrate) - _conts) #0#1;
        {_theVest addItemCargoGlobal _x} count _myVestItems;
    };
};

Hi all,

 

This discussion is really very interesting. I am trying to do the same but, adding random vests, uniforms and weapons. So far this part works but the containers are empty, the items don't add back to the inventory.

 

@pierremgi, I wonder if you could could give a hand here.

I am trying to do the same but, in the configs, with event handlers. It is not working and I can't figure out why. 

Here is the config if you want to know:

Thank you in advance!

Sorry! No clue about this way.

I'm with Pierre, no idea about doing this via configs, but I can tell you that trying to pass local variables in global space like this will never work.

[quickdagger 170]

Well, I don't know what a local/global variable is and, what "pass a variable" is either.

Nevertheless, it looks like I have found the solution 🙂

 

The reason I want to do it in the configs is that, every time one of my units is added to a mission, by the editor, Zeus or dynamically spawned by the mission generator, it will bring the full package. It will always have random gear no matter what.

 

Here is the code in case you are curious:

It still comes with one less magazine, probably because it goes away when the event handler deletes the weapon, which contained it. In this case would you know how to fix it?

 

Best!

Fundamental concepts.

[quickdagger 170]

Very nice reading, thank you for the directions.

 

So, if this unit is spawned automatically by a KP Liberation server for example, what should be the issue?

 

Because I have tested it in the editor, in multiplayer, on my local machine and it is working.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe that, as the soldier spawns, it will create a local variable in whatever machine the server is, and this local variable will be deleted after call because it is local. Then, every player will see the created object soldier and he will be wearing a random loadout.

 

If the variable was created public, not deleted because it is global, then, wouldn't it nullify the random effect?
