add Magazines/Weapons in Backpacks?

[bboy 11]

i was searching and trying a bunch of things to do that... without result... I want to remove originally bacpack from the unit... Done! i want to put another backpack on the same unit... Done! Now i want to put some ammo in that backpack... not done... help please

[shuko 59]

They are basically ammoboxes, so use the cargo commands:

(unitBackpack this) addmagazinecargo ["magName",6];

(unitBackpack this) addweaponcargo ["gunName",1];

[bboy 11]

i tryed that to... nothing... cos' i did it something wrong probably... what is unitBackpack this? and to put just like this inside () ?!

[shuko 59]

Well, instead of doing myAmmoBox add.., we get the unit's pack with that unibackpack this. Using "this" obviously means it's meant for unit's init field. Works with unitbackpack myUnitsName as well.

[bboy 11]

my unit name is: g1

backpack name is: tripod_bag

i want to put inside Magazine "Javelin"

(unitBackpack this) addMagazineCargo ["Javelin", 1]

nothing...

write me if you can

[kylania 568]

backpack name is: tripod_bag

The Tripod Bag has no cargo, which is why the Javelin won't fit. It's just a tripod, nothing more.

To see much how cargo can fit in each bag see my post here:

That's a shame, it's a nice bag for one Magazine of Javelin... Looks good! Thank you for the link

The AT variation of the coyote backpack is even better... It comes preloaded with two Javelins. Classname: US_Backpack_AT_EP1

How can I spawn an existing backpack on a soldier?

Thats not good because it will spawn a brand new backpack. I need to spawn a backpac that I put on map and sync to UAV module.:)

[ck-claw 1]

My bad-for once, i didnt actually read the whole thread! :D

[CarlGustaffa 4]

Yeah, we need commands like backpackPutOn and backPackPutOff (or equivalent actions).

Use

this addBackpack "US_UAV_Pack_EP1";
backpack = unitBackPack this;
UAV synchronizeObjectsAdd [backpack];

Where this = player in his init line and UAV is the name of the module. Sync the module to the UAV in flight and the player and you will be able to use the UAV anywhere you are standing.

There are actions for TakeBag and PutBag now. :)

[cyop 10]

Ooops, already answered.

[CarlGustaffa 4]

I can get TakeBag to work with:

player action ["TakeBag", term]

but I can't seem to get PutBag to work.

[kylania 568]

Maybe it's DropBag that works? My AI assemble demo had it.

Edit: It's putBag

Oh, I see. I was using the bag, not the guy. Thanks.
