Putting an array of magazines into an ammo crate

[Blitzen88 16]

Greetings,

 
Im trying to figure out how to gather a magazine from each unit of a group and add it to an ammobox.  The idea is that necessary magazines will be added to the ammobox regardless of the loadout.

 

Here is what I got:
 

Quote

_PlayerGroup = group _player;

 

_AllMags = {primaryWeaponMagazine _x} foreach units _PlayerGroup;

 

ammobox {addmagazinecargo _x, 5} foreach _Allmags;

But it isnt working...?

addmagazinecargo is a command with local effects only. Read its biki entry.

Would only be used for single player.  Dont know if that changes anything but I will checkout the wiki.

nevermind then. on SP it does not matter

[pierremgi 4739]

_allMags = flatten (units _playerGroup apply {primaryWeaponMagazine _x});

{ammobox addMagazineCargo [_x, 5]} count _Allmags;

 

In MP:

see also:  addMagazineCargoGlobal

Running the code locally (where player is), the difference is that with global command, the crate contents all magazines of all groups, with non-global one, you make the crate specific for each player.

Running the code on server only is probable non-sense (player is local if hosted, non-existent if dedicated).

This seems to work perfectly. Thank you!

 

Now I gotta read up on “flatten” and “apply”
