Sort Weapons/Item/Backpacks/Magazines HELP

[.Marti 2]

Hey there! 

 

I need to separate an array of various items in weapons/magazines/backpacks/items to load them to a box with addWeaponCargo, addItemCargo, etc.

 

Example of the array:

 

Quote

[["U_O_CombatUniform_ocamo",4],["U_O_CombatUniform_oucamo",4],["U_O_OfficerUniform_ocamo",4];

 

I got them with getWeaponCargo, etc. Maybe the easiest solution would be to store them in different variables when i got them?

I would be surprised if I can't classify them but i can't find nothing about it.

 

Any idea how to proceed? Thanks!

 

-------------------

 

Edit: I'm not storing the arrays directly on different variables because they are suposed to be stored in the profileNamespace of a server, and i wanted to mantain a clean enviroment, but i will do it if I need to.

addItemCargo can also add magazines and weapons. Not sure about backpacks and the like. But no seperation neccessary.

Thanks @7erra ! Will check that out.

Hey there, I have another mini-question. 

 

It is possible to sort all the types of grenades? Since its parents are ["CA_Magazine","Default"] like all the mags.

Suppose it depends on if you want to store weapons and their current attachments, mags and ammo count and magazines with ammo count.

Thanks so much,  Larrow! Much appreciated, will test it out. 

 

That kind of sensation when you spent whole days trying to do something and it's clearly worst done than your code there. At least i learned a lot hahah

 

 

EDIT: Tested and working propperly.

@Larrow @.Marti where would I put your script to make it work? I am kinda a rookie 😄

I have tried to implement this into a BECTI mission to save crates to profilenamespace making them persistant.

The TAG functions work perfectly BTW.  Thanks for sharing.

my problem is making eventhandlers public while keeping the variables private.

 

I am running this code each time a crate it made

//this works fine with one crate but due to public variable 
//it gets messed up when i add more
//When i try to make variables private it fails
//any ideas?
if (_defense isKindOf "B_supplyCrate_F") then {
    clearBackpackCargoGlobal _defense;
    clearItemCargoGlobal _defense;
    clearMagazineCargoGlobal _defense;
    clearWeaponCargoGlobal _defense;

    container=_defense;

    //create array to hold the contents of all containers
    //add each container to it as they are made
    allcontainercontents pushBack [container, nil];

    //add event to all computers to report when contents are changed
    //yes i know this should be remoteexec but having syntax issues.
    container addEventHandler ["ContainerClosed", {["A_ContainerClosed", container] call CBA_fnc_serverEvent;}];
    //["ContainerClosed", {["A_ContainerClosed", container] call CBA_fnc_serverEvent;}] remoteExec ["addEventHandler", 0, true];

    //server watches for event and saves data to array
    ["A_ContainerClosed", {
        params ["container", "_unit"];
        // find the contents in container
        containerContents = container call TAG_fnc_getContents;
        //find container in array and add the contents to it

        {
            if (allcontainercontents select _foreachindex select 0 == container) then
            {
                allcontainercontents set [_foreachindex, [container, containerContents]];
            };
        } foreach allcontainercontents;

Just thank you, @Larrow You're a mastermind. 😄

Lil' beer incoming.

[Undeceived 392]

I have another question here that has me racking my brains... @Larrow's code copies the subcontainers (uniforms, vests, backpacks) and their content to the end container (crate). The stuff stays in the subcontainers.

 

How would the code have to look like when you want to empty ("pour out", so to speak) the subcontainers into the crate, so that the contents of the uniforms, vests and backpacks are directly in the crate, not in the subcontainers anymore?

 

I hope my question is understandable. 😅

Just change this line in TAG_fnc_setContents to...

[ _container, _contents ] call TAG_fnc_setContents;

So the original container ( the crate ) rather than the added sub-container.

It worked like magic! Thanks a lot, man! 

I would never have thought that only one variable had to be changed. 😄

[Larrow 2795]

Update to allow emptying of sub-containers and weapons attachments into the main container, rather than copying them over as is.
