monty67t 0 Posted July 6, 2004 What's up everybody? I have a question about ammo crates and/or an armory. Is it possible to have a building or ammo crate that pops up a menu like in RTS so you can see what weapon you are choosing? For example, you are in your base and you have an armory, when you walk up to the building a menu pops up showing you the weapons you can choose from. You simply click on what you want and abracadabra, it's there for you. Any help is greatly appreciated. EXAMPLE PIC, BUT WITH WEAPONS AND NO PRICE OF COURSE Thanks, Monty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted July 6, 2004 AFAIK there is no reliable way to count the amount of weapons and/or ammo in a crate. I don't think it's possible to create a dialog with that data. Edit: You could do it another way though. First, make a crate and clear its weapon and magazine cargos. Then, use some global variables to define how much stuff is in the crate ( monty_crate1_ak74 = 6 , for instance). Then you would create a small, repeating trigger over the crate. The trigger should activate a dialog script when the player is close to the crate, and it should deactivate it when the player is away. The dialog script would simply create a Listbox or Combobox which listed weapons and magazines. You'd select the desired weapons and magazines, then you'd hit an OK button, which would close the dialog and set your weapons to the new settings. As an icing on the cake, you could create a weaponhandler at your feet to make it look like you dropped your previous weapon. Because you'd be using global variables to define weapon/ammo quantities, you can check when the crate is "empty". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monty67t 0 Posted July 6, 2004 Way over my head bro. I know how to fill ammo crates, that's about it. For example this is my old script for filling ammo crates with BAS weapons. Quote[/b] ]_ammo = _this select 0_ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4ACOG", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4MKACOG", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4MKReflex", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4REFLEX", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4REFLEXM203", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4ACOGS", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4REFLEXS", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4REFLEXSM203", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M14AIMPOINT", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M24SWS", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_MP5SDAIMPOINT", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M249", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M249SPW", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M240B", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_Beretta", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_AT4Launcher", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_Satcom", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_Soflam", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desACOG", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desMKACOG", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desMKReflex", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desREFLEX", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desREFLEXM203", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desACOGS", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desREFLEXS", 5] _ammo AddWeaponCargo ["BAS_M4desREFLEXSM203", 5] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_M4Mag", 25] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_M4SMag", 25] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_MKShell", 25] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_M14Mag", 25] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_M24Mag", 25] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_MP5SDMag", 25] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_M249mag", 15] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_M240Mag", 25] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_M433grenade", 15] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_BerettaMag", 15] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_AT4Rocket", 15] _ammo AddMagazineCargo ["BAS_Soflam", 10] Then in the init I just put [this] exec "BAScrate.sqs" However, the other stuff you are talking about I am not familiar with. I appreciate the info though. Thanks, Monty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m21man 0 Posted July 7, 2004 Well, if this isn't for a Mission-Making Contest entry, then I could send you a working example . If it is an entry, then if I sent you a template it would probably be counted as a team effort (And then I wouldn't be able to submit my mission ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
