[SOLVED] How to DETACH specific attached object(s) instead of ALL "attachedObjects"?

[JCataclisma 37]

================================
Hellos, guys!

I have a mission setup which involves three different scripts, both called with addAction, and it all works fine whether SP or dedicated MP server.
Its current flow is like this:

1.) player gets nearby a specific named workshop and executes an addAction on it;
2.) such addAction executes the first "searcher.sqf" script, which searches for nearby vehicles and providing the nearby vehicle class, will execute another specific script ("huronWorkshop.sqf", in this scenario);

3.) this new specific script will create and attach some stuff into the nearby vehicle, and also add a new addAction to it, and such action will execute a third one ("huronDoubleTrucks.sqf").
4.) the working goal of this last action is to search the nearby vehicles for some specific classes and, providing the type of vehicle found, attach it to a specific position upon/relative to the Huron chopper, and also adds a new action that, once selected, will release those trucks and remove the action itself from the menu.

Ok, all of that is working fine within the codes bellow, but the problem is that, by using things like " private _attachedTrucks = attachedObjects _currentHeli; ", the last action will detach ALL the attached objects (in this case, two portable lamps and a closed first aid kit), instead of detaching ONLY the trucks - which was my intention.

Could you please point some suggestions/changes to the code so that I could achieve that?
I could bet there is something to do with working upon the variables themselves, whether should they be private, public or global...? But none of my attempts have returned a sactisfactory result - you may notice in the second script, I even created some extra arrays to try and use them together the "_attachedTrucks", but no success at all.

                } forEach _attachedTrucks;

    private _release = (vehicle player) addAction
	[
		"<t color='#ff7620'>RELEASE trucks</t>",

                private _attachedTrucks = attachedObjects _currentHeli;
                {
                    private _object = _x;
                    if (_object getVariable ["isAttachedTruck", false]) then
                    {
                        detach _object;
                    }
                } forEach _attachedTrucks;
				_currentHeli removeAction _release;
		},
		nil,
		0,
		false,
		true,
		"",
		"_this == _target turretUnit [-1] && (getPosATL _target) select 2 < 42",
		10,
		false
	];

 

NOTE: those "setVatiable QS_logistic" stuff are necessary within the Quiksilver's Apex framework, so that such objects could be manually detached by the players. I'd rather keep them on the trucks, but if that could somehow mess with different variables required to the "specific detach" system to work, they could be completed removed from the trucks.

You can use select to filter the attached objects according to some condition.

 

For example

private _attachedTrucks = attachedObjects (vehicle player);

becomes:

private _attachedTrucks = (attachedObjects (vehicle player)) select {_x isKindOf "Car"};

The more I was trying, the further I was going - in the very opposite direction 😂 .
Not only solved, but gave several extra customization possibilities.

Thank you!

Cheers!
