Remove Item from Inventory

[za0 3]

I'm using Ace mod and there is that plasma sack with the id as follow:
ACE_plasmaIV_250 

Well, I'm trying to remove it from my inventory when I reach the trigger area with the command :
this removeItem ACE_plasmaIV_250;

...but nothing happens
I've also tried use: this removeItemFromBackpack ACE_plasmaIV_250;   
with the item in my backpack but still nothing happens... :l
Any idea?

tks in advance!

Always check the biki: https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/removeItem

 

Turning on showScriptErrors helps too.

The command removeItem should do the job, even if it is in your uniform, vest or backpack.

From your example you aren't using the command right.

this removeItem "ACE_plasmaIV_250";

Note the string, or quotes, around the class name.


Now. How you use it in this instance depends on a few things.
Are you only playing Single Player? Or, Is it Multiplayer?

If it's Single Player, you can simply use the following in the On Activation field of your trigger;

player removeItem "ACE_plasmaIV_250";

It worked! The problem was the quotes.
I'm creating for a multiplayer 🙂 Each character will have a different variable name so these scripts will also have their names to work correctly.

But I'm with another problem here... this script works but it only removes 1 item from the inventory... Is there a way to remove multiple items, like 5 plasma sacks at once?

There is also removeItems which "Removes all items with given class name from the inventory".

//	Removes all "ACE_plasmaIV_250" from a unit.

this removeItems "ACE_plasmaIV_250";

 

But if the unit had 7 250mL Plasma IV Bags, for example, and you only wanted to remove 5 of them.

You would use:

//	Removes only 5 "ACE_plasmaIV_250" from the unit.

for "_i" from 1 to 5 do
{
	this removeItem "ACE_plasmaIV_250";
};

Remove all this classname from the calling unit,

[this, "ACE_plasmaIV_250"] call {{(_this #0) removeItem _x} forEach (((uniformItems (_this #0) + vestItems (_this #0) + backpackItems (_this #0))) select {_x== (_this #1)})}

If you'll be calling this often,

you_remove_strings= {
	{(_this #0) removeItem _x} forEach (((uniformItems (_this #0) + vestItems (_this #0) + backpackItems (_this #0))) select {_x== (_this #1)})
};

//call
[this, "ACE_plasmaIV_250"] call you_remove_strings

Have fun!

How should I be using removeItem in MP, dedicated?

Better late than never...

I don't see why removeItem wouldn't work in MP.
I'm still wary of answering dedicated server related questions.

As time has gone by... Do you have the answer(s)?

Thanks @Maff, I actually have a test set up...will let you know how it goes.

removeItem is GA/GE, so it should work just fine in MP/dedi.
