createvehicle custom crate

[Gloopy 0]

Hi Guys,

sure this is pretty simple but can't get it going.

I'm using <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">javelin = "SpecialBoxWest" createVehicle (getpos javspawn) to spawn an ammo crate, then i have a custom crate script I want to run on the spawned object.

I tried adding "javelin exec "crate1.sqs"" after the spawn code but it's giving me a select error.

Crate Script:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">; ****************************************************************

; Custom crate script for Armed Assault

; Created with ArmA Edit - Version 1.2.8500

; HELP: Run this script from the INITIALIZATION box of the crate.

; CODE: [this] exec "crate1.sqs"

; ****************************************************************

; Get the crate parameter given

_crate = javelin select 1

; Remove the stock items from the crate

clearMagazineCargo _crate

clearWeaponCargo _crate

; Add the items to the crate

_crate addMagazineCargo ["JAVELIN", 2]

Exit

Also if anyone happens to know, the countdown timer on the trigger doesn't work, it spawns instantly.

Thanks

You could do this two ways. First, to use your separate script do the following:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

javelin = "SpecialBoxWest" createVehicle (getpos javspawn);

javelin setVehicleInit "[this] exec ""crate1.sqs""";

processInitCommands;

And fix your crate script to read as follows:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

; ****************************************************************

; Custom crate script for Armed Assault

; Created with ArmA Edit - Version 1.2.9500

; HELP: Run this script from the INITIALIZATION box of the crate.

; CODE: [this] exec "crate1.sqs"

; ****************************************************************

; Get the crate parameter given

_crate = _this select 0

; Remove the stock items from the crate

clearMagazineCargo _crate

clearWeaponCargo _crate

; Add the items to the crate

_crate addMagazineCargo ["JAVELIN", 2]

Exit

OR you could just do it all inline, without the extra script:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

javelin = "SpecialBoxWest" createVehicle (getpos javspawn);

clearMagazineCargo javelin;

clearWeaponCargo javelin;

javelin addMagazineCargo ["JAVELIN", 2];

As for the countdown timer, how exactly is this trigger triggered? If it's a say, BLUFOR present the timer will work, but radio commands are instant, even if set to a time out.

To get around this, add in a delay to your script:

<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">

sleep 5; // wait 5 seconds after triggering radio trigger.

javelin = "SpecialBoxWest" createVehicle (getpos javspawn);

javelin setVehicleInit "[this] exec ""crate1.sqs""";

processInitCommands;
