Counting Cfg Prop Equipment in Inventory

[jsmith82 0]

Stumped on this one.  In Eden, there are 2 key prop objects that can be placed in a scenario.

 

Equipment>Inventory Items>Keys (Item_Keys)

 

Equipment>Things>Tools>Keys (Land_Key_01_F)

 

I am spawning a set of the inventory usable “Item_Keys” in my scenario, and I’m able to pick them up, but my script is unable to count how many sets of keys I have in inventory.

 

Here is my code, no error, but no results:

 

_i = 0;

private _i = {_x == “Item_Keys”} count items player;

hint format [Keys: %1, _i];

 

I’ve used similar scripts to count helmets, guns, magazines but no combination of == TypeOf isKindOf or multiple types to count are turning results.

 

The wiki lists Item_Keys as CfgVehicle Props Equipment.

 

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong, or why these are seemingly unrecognizable?

I found a solution, though it’s not very clean and I don’t understand why “items”, or something that checks uniform + vest + backpack isn’t working.

 

First thing is Item_Keys is actually referenced as “Keys”.

 

This works:

 

//start

test = 0;
_i = 0;

private _i = {_x == “Keys”} count uniformItems player;

test = test + _i;

private _i = {_x == “Keys”} count vestItems player;

test = test + _i;

private _i = {_x == “Keys”} count backpackItems player;

test = test + _i;

 

hint format [Keys: %1, test];

//end

 

I’m open to more fluid solutions if anyone can help.

The "Keys" item is in fact NOT an item, but a magazine. The command items returns everything but magazines, while the uniform/vest/backpackItems commands do return magazines, which is why your second attempt worked.

 

Easier is to just use itemsWithMagazines, which returns everything.
