What am i doing wrong ?

[Ajira 10]

I'm trying to clean up the junk that is left on the floor when you change weapons at an ammo box. But somehow it's not working..

In the player's "init':

this AddEventHandler ["LoadOutChanged",{{deleteVehicle _x} forEach ((getPos player) nearObjects ["WeaponHolder",20])}]; 

anybody got an idea ? :confused:

New to me that there's an Eventhandler called "LoadOutChanged":

Where did u get it from?

It's a VBS2 eventhandler, don't know much more.

Well if you guys know another way to clean up the junk that is left behind when using an ammobox, then i'm all ears :)

Try a global nearsObject like:

_list = getpos player nearObjects 20;

then substract the common types ("Air","Car","Structure"...).

Well, to delete the nearest Weaponholder is no problem:

_weaponholders = nearestObjects[player,["WeaponHolder"],5];
deleteVehicle _weaponholders select 0;

This would delete the nearest WeaponHolder.

Your problem atm is to detect when the players loadout changed. Have no idea how to do that without hax0ring.

Would it work if I set a loop on the ammobox like this ?

while {alive _this} do {
 _return = _this execVM "scripts\misc_loadammo.sqf"; //refill the ammobox.

 _weaponholders = nearestObjects[_this, ["WeaponHolder"], 5];
 {
   deleteVehicle _x;
 } foreach ( _weaponholders select 0);

 sleep 60;
}

Not putting enough detail in the title of the tread?

That last post about the topic title is likely to attract an argument mate, prob best edit it out, we're all good people here afterall so be friendly ;)

Ajira The code looks good to me very nice and tidy solution you've taught me some stuff. Variable _weaponholders becomes and array full of nearestobject(s) of type "WeaponHolder"(s) and then you delete the first entry which is obviously the junk on the floor.

It looks ok to me how did it get on in testing?

lol Wastelander.

while {alive _this} do {
 _return = _this execVM "scripts\misc_loadammo.sqf"; //refill the ammobox.

 _weaponholders = nearestObjects[_this, ["WeaponHolder"], 5];
 {
   deleteVehicle _x;
 } foreach ( _weaponholders select 0);

 sleep 60;
}  

That should work fine.

Yep it works just fine. Stuff stays on the ground for about a minute and then poofs. :D
